Good bye to summer

Photos from The State Fair flower competition. The Dahlias took my breath away...

Creating from the Garden

August offers so many beautiful opportunities for my vases.

Friday Thoughts

Today is a day for flowers....

For Sister Ex attending a funeral today for a very young Mother

For our sweet Danielle and family who lost a dear friend and Father of 2

For my good friend Jodi helping her sister Liz daily with her stuggles with Cancer

For a wonderful man, my friend, Jay who's life was cut far too short

For my "sister in the bond" who is fighting for every day of her life

And for the families in Seattle who are filled with tremendous sadness at the sudden loss of their loved ones.

Shopping for Inspiration

Headed to Swanson's Nursery on a rainy Seattle day for some spring inspiration. I think we found it!

Fair Worthy Dahlias

Attended the local fair and was bowled over by the beautiful winners. It is as if each of the flowers has something to say.

Airstream Glamping

A shot of my sweet Airstream and our camp set up. 

Fresh Flowers

Just loving what the garden is putting out this year. Fresh cut flowers...

Happy Fri. Fri.

Too tired to post anymore of our jobs. Until you hear from me again enjoy sweet flowers from my garden in a pretty ruffled vase. Happy Friday!

Is Spring here?

I think I can speak for every Seattlite by saying we are weary of our dreary, rainy, grey days. So when I see a vision like this I must stop and admire. Our first sign of spring and blue skies.

A Flower for You!

The cleaning service left us with a pretty flower for our recent staging. Ready to be plucked!

Flower & Garden Show

The Northwest Flower and Garden Show is just around the corner.  This is an event and shopping experience not to be missed. February 23 - 27th.

 I do not know the official theme behind the show this year but it sounds like the gardens will take inspiration from children's books. Last year water was a reoccurring theme.

I usually choose my Dalia's from Dan's Dahlias and my espalier fruit trees and shrubs from Rain Tree Nursery. You will get them bare root which is ideal for transporting.

Goodbye Beauty

The last signs of summer...
