the time of possibilities

seedlings

Ready for planting.

the reason I love this time of year is that it is full of possibilities! the reality of daily watering and weeding has not set in yet and the vision of beautiful abundant harvest is present in my hands in the form of these seeds and seedlings. While it may not be time yet to get out in the dirt, it’s definitely time to be thinking and planning … the garden of the mind, a lovely place.

Bunny Keeper Fairy by Carruth Studios

by Laureen on 2012/03/29

Carruth Studios is one of our latest lines.  We love the fanciful garden statuary and plaques.  The attention to detail by the artist George Carruth is just wonderful.  We have a small selection at the moment but will be bringing in more for the spring and summer gardening seasons.  We are confident that these will be a great hit in any garden peeking out from the undergrowth or prominently displayed on a fence or wall. “Someone has to keep those mischievous cuddly bunnies out of trouble. Why not a flying gnome? Notice the sun and moon embroidered on the toes of her slippers. Look closely and see the little mouse with a magic wand in her pocket. Display in the garden or children’s rooms. ”

February 26, 2012

We are noticing a theme in the air, an awareness of our neighbour, an appreciation that we are there for one another.  A different direction is calling.  An appreciation of the simple and beautiful right in front of us.  Our needs are fulfilled, our wants are reasonable and easily obtained.  We are warm, we are [...]

tulips for ‘perfect love’

February 9, 2012

Flowers have carried special meaning throughout the ages and around the world.  Tulips originated in Persia, though most would say Holland since the Dutch have turned their love of the tulip into ‘tulip mania’.  Also in the language of flowers they say grace and elegance.  Michele was inspired this week to create a valentines day [...]
