That is a wonderful card from Jo. The sentiment is really true. Looks like life is good, especially since you have crocuses in bloom. March really hasn't been that bad of a month, at least these last few weeks. I'm going to go check out that book and see more of what's its about. I hope you had a great T day Nan. Hugs-Erika
Those bunnies are so cute. Crocuses are really beautiful! I just love that they symbolize spring with that splash of bright purple. Happy Tea Day, Kate
A beautiful card and a wonderful sentiment. We think it's rabbits that eat our crocus. But right before we left for Sarah's Tracy discovered all our daffodils in the back were blooming. Early spring for us! We took half to Matt, and brought the rest with us.
What a sweet card from Jo. She is such an adorable person.
I love your envelopes. You know how to turn a plain envelope into its own gift. Speaking of which, you have a true gift making this art.
I enjoyed seeing you in your family room watching soccer, enjoying a biscuit (cookie?), and drinking tea. Thanks for sharing these beauties with us for T this week, Nan. I realize I'm late visiting.
So glad that you liked the card, and the sentiment is so true 😉. I think spring must be finally here, those crocus look so beautiful! We have bluebells just starting to bloom here after the sunny days we've had the past week! Happy belated T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts. I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!
Art in Bloom Art in Bloom is being celebrated as a rite of Spring fundraising for art museums and libraries . In museums, floral designers create a piece to coordinate art on display. Local libraries and Chamber of Commerce combine their efforts with local art guilds and garden clubs to host a fun evening event. Libraries, art, flowers…what’s not to love? I decided this was an event I wanted to be involved in, both on the art and floral design aspect. First up: the display case, I asked Fiona for help on this. Here’s what we put together for the event. This is my first year participating, but it provided a great opportunity to put my art to good use. Happy Spring. Bloom where you’re planted.
Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner, presents, bookstore coffee and browse around, made to order breakfasts and dinners, chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas. Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craft fair, we still hav
