My Favorite Nursery Mail-Order Companies
While I’m a big supporter of local nurseries/small businesses, sometimes I’m seeking particular plants that my nursery doesn’t normally stock or sold out of which forces me to seek out mail order companies. Late into the growing season, I was inspired to build up my largely ignored shade garden. For years I believed that only …
Planning for Spring…
My Success Choice Planner has inspired me to make earlier plans for my Spring garden (perennial and planter). It’s the perfect activity to enliven the typical idyllness of midwinter and to look forward to yet another exciting growing season!

Life-Savers: Bookends for Heavy Duty Standards
My husband found these bookends online for me. They are a real gem of a find too because I was using regular metal bookends (which can be purchased at Staples, etc.) for my shelving. Honestly they didn’t work out too well due to the large number of binders I keep and were also less appealing …
My First Bonsai Project
My first bonsai was a Christmas gift juniper from my husband’s relatives.

Alternative Apparel & Allison Sudol Collab
Allison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy recently tweeted about her collab with Alternative Apparel (which produced three lovely designs; bear, tugboat, and tree).

NYCupcake’s Pampered Ponies Spa
Lickety-Split was part of my first batch of spa-goers. She signed up for “the works”/Day of Beauty Deluxe Package =)); and for good reason… Her spa package included a shampooing, deep conditioning, luxury bath, and hairstyling, with no symbol touch-ups needed. *Special thanks to my husband who photographed LS (excluding first two pictures, which were …
