the butterfly roof

I am so excited to share my new blog: the butterfly roof at: http://thebutterflyroof.blogspot.com/

See you there!

It's hard to believe that it has been almost two years since I posted on this blog Actual Design.

Demands for my business have taken over my life! This blog will remain as a journal of great products and the year before and after my fathers death. But it reminds me so much of that difficult time, so I am starting a new blog in late Spring 2011. I will also include a link to the new blog. Visit our website page www.paperpetals.com. Or join our facebook page Paper Petals TM!

I hope you will check back!

Best Wishes,
Nancy

My Mini Herb Garden

I started adding pots to my mini herb garden. I am so excited about the upcoming herb event Herbalicious at Bowood Farms on Saturday May 2 2pm FREE - The Herb Society will be unveiling their new cookbook - I'm buying one! I love the herbs at Bowood Farms - I found some really great miniature varieties for my kitchen window there too. Sappington Garden also had a nice selection. Find out more about the herb event at Bowood Farms on their website http://www.bowoodfarms.com/

My Favorite Birthday Gift

My sister Linda gave me the most amazing little piece of glass to put flowers in - most call it a vase. This one made by Oulu Glass - a studio that she stops into on her way up to summer camp in Wisconsin with the kids. I love it - paired up with handmade Paper Petals Stationery. The card is available at Art Mart Paperie in St. Louis. Copyright Paper Petals Stationery.
