The Garden Lady...

            So excited to be getting in so many garden goodies...I can not wait for SPRING to arrive.
         This is the Cutest bird lamp.....
    Wonderful BIG woven jars arrived this week...great to store birdseed...or that special cat treat !
 Our new Romantic Home magazines are here...                                                                                           I am so excited our little town is starting a Community Garden. Of course I signed up for a 4 by 12 space... I  have missed my garden since we moved over the Shop. I will be able to walk over after work and dig in the dirt ! I have been checking out Pintrest to see what kind of wonderful plants and items I can put in it. I am hoping my Hero will build me a small greenhouse to sit in part of the plot..... Dreaming of planting lots of Herbs and some beautiful flowers. Gardening is so good for the soul....

Heart Throb...

A few more HEARTS in the shop.... Sunday my Hero and I made a spot above a little building in our shop to store our sleigh . We put a flat roof on and then lifted the sleigh up on it. Not an easy feat. The sleigh is full size and weighs quite a bit. We were saved by our daughter and son in law coming by. Little did they know what we were doing.... Needless to say they came to the rescue and helped lift and pull the sleigh to its new home. THANK YOU  so much , your dad and I would still be standing there trying to think of a way to lift it up that 8 feet .

 So many new treasures have arrived... We spent the last two days unpacking and redoing. I can not believe how much packing material that is used to ship things . We filled the whole dumpster ! I am in love with the new birdcages that came in.....filling them with candles and plants...So Cute. Whiskers would prefer sweet little tasty birds !

The Key to my Heart...

I have been stitching on Net Lace Hearts for the Shop. Seems I can't stitch fast enough....Two of these left before I could even hang them or get a picture ! They are so pretty with the light shining through. The SUN is shining today , it is so welcome...too many gloomy rainy days. What are you creating ?
