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.
