Fresh Easter Gifts

 

I found some fabulous containers for Easter gifts at Marshalls today. A search of our local big box home store turned up some fresh bulbs -tulips, mini narcissus and hyacinth, just breaking thru the soil. I think this is when bulbs are most beautiful. The energy, promise and potential is sometimes more interesting than the realized flower....Plants just make me happy. Best Easter wishes and dark chocolate bunnies to you.

Garden Party Fantasy

 
 
 
The Perfect Garden Party


Just found this garden party photo on pinterest. The styling is SO delicious....not too over the top. Loving the stumps and the spontaneous vibe, like it was just thrown together with what was at hand. Well done.

The snow here in Maine is unrelenting. Ten sloppy inches this week and maybe more on Friday. Must....have....fresh...flower gorgeousness. (Say this like William Shatner). Floragrubb.com never disappoints. If you don't know about this West Coast floral genius, go to this site immediately! So fresh and uplifting. Happy viewing.

Cozy Crafting

WAX!





It's freezing outside....sloppy, gray and dull. Good time to stay in and try to get some waxes ready for casting.

Tiny Terrarium Jewelry

 
 
 
Tiny Terrarium with Birch Bark House no. 20




Tiny Terrarium Tree House Ring no. 9



 
TWO filled shells! I LOVE to finish projects. My modus operandi is to start many, many projects with great enthusiasm and drop them, partially realized, in favor of something new. Mr. G just shakes his head. I'm trying to change my wayward habits. These two items are spoken for, but if you like them, check out my Etsy store- umbellata.etsy.com. More tiny terrariums coming in the near future. I promise..... really.
