I adore the peony. Its pretty colors, delightful fragrance, and billowing blossoms make my heart happy. The Promise Of The Peony.

An Unfinished Easter Dress
I was planning to wear such a cute dress this Sunday. Instead, I have an unfinished Easter dress. I had found three yards of a sweet pink and blue vintage fabric at an estate sale for $3.
