The best mail day yet this week!

Valentines from Arizona- completely made my day!

Valentines from my very special nieces- “heart melting” homemade ones

In an ideal world, I would always have fresh flowers or blooming plants in the home. Man-go-round does pretty well cultivating his plant corner of orchids, spider plants, cacti and herbs. Me? I’ve been known to kill marigolds and dandelions… 


So what does a flower lover do? I surely can’t afford to buy fresh flowers year round…and now that I’m a one-man kind of gal, I don’t have suitors sending me flowers each week (kidding…)


Yep, you guessed it: 

High school bedroom- I made it a garden theme. Many thanks to my parents for their complete and total hands off attitude during this entire project (wallpaper removal and all… they let me do exactly as I pleased. Thank you!)

Winter flower arrangement in current home…

…and the summer/ spring alternative version

Wildflowers from the ‘hood don’t cost a thing!

Who could forget the “heirloom” wooden tulips?
