Good morning friends! I tiptoed down the stairs this wet Sunday morning to sip my coffee and spend a few moments with you.Even with the dark skies, it looks lush and verdant out my window. Tempted me out in my boots to share the drenched lilacs.
Congratulations to : Adrienne Brown-David!

Please e-mail me with your mailing info, Adrienne so we can get it on the line this week!
Your response to that peg bag was enthusiastic enough to get me sewing up some more bags for my shop. I will have an update on Thursday, April 29th with lots of wonderful recycled burlap items: bucket, peg bags, root sacks, and a couple of fresh designs I'm excited about.
Also in the news: I have been asked to speak at our library in mid May. It's very exciting to be recognized locally, and I'm hoping to meet a few readers that live near by. Here's the little blurb the library director put together for their newsletter.

Should be fun! Hope to see some of you there!
Thanks for sharing the lilacs! We just got new snow this morning (sigh -- the grass was just getting green) and won't see ours until June.
ReplyDeleteSipping coffee and breathing in the fresh morning air is my favorite part of the day. I love that quiet peace before the day begins. Thank you for sharing the beautiful flowers and congrats on being a guest speaker.
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity... where do you get all your recycled burlap? I LOVE the burlap you get, but have only been able to find it in fabric stores and without all the cool graphics you find! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely lilacs...enjoy your coffee and day.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky your locals are!
ReplyDeleteI keep checking in on our lilacs too, yours are a bit ahead of ours - certainly a flower to bring you out into the rain for! I am not sure if I told you this already, while walking along the beach we found burlap bags washed ashore down the entire beach. Of course I thought of you : )
ReplyDeleteI wish I wish I wish I lived closer, so I could come & listen to you ... I know you'll be super great, fanta-bulous !
ReplyDeletehope your week will be sunnier than your weekend was :)
oxoxo many hugs
oh, and congrats to the winner !!
Just joined your blog. Looking forward to more. Love the lilacs -one of my favorites! Connie
ReplyDeleteYour mug looks like many pieces of pottery that I've bought from the Ithaca Farmers Market. I can't remember the name of his business, but the potter's name is David. I love this work! Makes me look forward to being in Ithaca again this summer!
