When I returned from my week-long trip to Minnesota I found that the heat had caught up with most of my winter flowers. How does your garden grow? How does your garden grow? My pretty pansies were a wilted mess. All of the pots needed to be refreshed for the summer. I found several lovely things in the nursery. My gardener approved of all the choices. Of course, we all know that good help is hard to find. I caught the gardener lounging about and ended up doing all the work ... View the Post
Peep Show The Finale
When I was a little girl I remember my Grandma Mary making sure I had a new spring dress and shoes. Everything had to be fresh and pretty Easter Sunday. I miss the days of ladies in their hats, gloves, and corsages. Here is Peep Show The Finale! Peep Show The Finale But corsages don't have to languish in dresser drawers.

Friday Freebie My Name is Laura and I’m a Ribbon A Holic
Friday Freebie My name is Laura and I'm a Ribbon A Holic. Yes, it's true. I have so much ribbon that if I laid it out end to end, I could probably reach China and back.

Totally Trashed
I'll bet you were thinking I had a wild weekend. I'm sorry if you're disappointed. Totally Trashed! I assume that you own one of these or a similar configuration. Don't you just LOVE it?
