Thursday Thrill – The Garden Holds Her Breath

Up to now, the Garden around us has been hushed, her breath quiet and slow. Blankets of white pulled up to her nose she waits, still asleep, for that first itch of movement when once again Spring calls her name.

When she does finally take her first groggy stretch, we will be ready with our boots, seeds, aprons, and tools to get her ready for her big day.

Because in the blink of an eye or the quick turn of the head, Spring will be here and ready to take our sweet awakened Garden to her big debut.

Then all we'll have to do is watch her grow and thrive into the destined beauty we knew her to be and gather up the roses laid at her feet.

So start unwrapping your warm weather clothes now, for you don't want to be caught unexpectedly when the dear Spring reaches out his friendly hand to you too.

Treasury Tuesday – Treasure Hunt

Okay guys, this was just too cute not to share! The group at The Photo Impression made a fun and whimsical treasury called "Where IS that goose that lays golden eggs?". I was so tickled to see that my vintage button ring was the inspiration for this entire treasury!! 

They even wrote a little story to go along:
"Is he flying with birds & butterflies, marking time with a snail, hiding in a ring box, vase, or under a tree? Maybe he's swimming with the dolphins, cuddling with bunnies or hiding in a city building. Wherever he is...he's sly like a fox!"

To view individual items in this treasury, click here.

I would love to share with all of you some of my latest creations to make it into shop. This is going to be the newest weekly post on Saturdays called "Saturday Shop Talk". There won't be much talkin', but just a general introduction. I really enjoy naming my pieces and sharing the little characters that they evoke and I hope you do too! Thanks for letting me have a show & tell day!! 

******Update: I'm a dork and realized that I meant this to be for Saturday and accidentally posted it today which was supposed to be for my Sunday Snag post.  I got my days mixed up (I blame dancing at all hours). Anyhoo, Saturday will be weekly posts of Shop Talk and Sundays will be weekly posts of Snags. Sheesh! I need some strong black tea now....*************
