Farmer's Market...

My local farmer's market...

everything at this farmer's market is guaranteed to be local.

They are even inspected just to be sure they meet all the criteria to sell at the market.

Here are just a few samples from some of the vendors.

"Zutrav" Homemade Dog biscuits in shapes of

hydrants, bones, & racks of ribs

such a great booth!

A rosemary bush I nabbed for $25.

It is huge, and so aromatic!

going in the ground today between rains,

but the ground will be easy to dig in...

Will post some Spring pictures of the outside of the house & gardens soon.

If there is anything you see in these pictures that you are interested in let me know.

I am happy to pick them up & ship them to you.

Trust me you would not be disappointed.

Napa Style...

Nappa Style...

I adore this catalog and on-line shoppe.

Thought I would share it with you.

How yummy is this french wine crate used as a side table.

This is so "office", but for the kitchen.

I love anything that is used in a different way then it was intended.

I use one of these old bathtub feet as a paper weight in my office

So much texture.

Heck of a coffee table,

comments on this piece would be endless.

These pendant lights just leave me speechless.

I think I have to have these just so

that I can host a cookies and milk party for the girls.

I would use these stools inside and out.

This is a spoon chandelier.

How fun is this?

Love anything with a religious icon,

and the fact that they are candles

just make them even more desirable to me.

I want this by every sink in my house!

This tray makes me long for muddy boots to slide off and stick inside.

Always love a demijohn

These inspire me to go to a yard sale or flea market

and buy every old drawer I can get my hands on.

Adore these plant markers.

It truly is all about the details.

So creative.

This site just really gets my mind reeling

with ideas to go out and be creative on my own,

and a good source when you just want it already!

Spring

Springtime is the land awakening...

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. ~Doug Larson

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. ~Virgil A. Kraft

The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring. ~Bern Williams

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. ~Martin Luther

And Spring arose on the garden fair, Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere; And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

—Percy Bysshe Shelley

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways.

The dry seasons in life do not last.

The spring rains will come again.

—Sarah Ban Breathnach

Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

—Zen saying

An optimist is the human personification of spring.

—Susan J. Bissonette

Spring’s greatest joy beyond a doubt is when it brings the children out.

—Edgar Guest

Spring is here, Ya'll!

Get out there and enjoy.
