Narcissus Bloom

We are getting ready for our school craft fair around here.  That includes a variety of projects leading to a variety of products.  This one I'm excited about.  Narcissus bulbs in water.  We have prepared them and stored them in a dark, cold room in order to force the bloom.  When they start to get roots we'll take them out into the light.  We have a variety of containers, some from the thrift store and some from the dollar store.  They are so pretty and really shine when the light hits the blue glass.   When coming to our table you'll find an eclectic assortment of items.   More to come about this.       

Warm Welcome

Here's to a new year celebrated at midnight with a jump in the Pacific Ocean.  Oh so very refreshing.

Here's to lots of hot tea brewed in this cheery yellow teapot.  For all ages and herbal teas only.

Here's to new growth from old bulbs you thought you had discarded.

Here's to lots of adventures on Emily's  new cruiser refrubished by a friend.  So delightful and such a beautiful yellow.

We have been ringing in this new year with unseasonably warm weather and enjoying lots of time outside.  I don't have a lot of  resolutions but am thinking about them.  I helped moved a friend on New Years day to a lovely new house all her own and that was inspiring.  It is fresh and clean and full of bright colors.  That is setting the tone for me.  Freshness and bright colors.  Her word is entitlement.  That doesn't quite fit me but it is energizing to watch her open
her oyster.
