Happy Spring (?) !!

Is it really spring?  The Minnesota winter doesn't seem to want to give up ~ if the snow continues to pile my crocus' will need to be 6' tall to peak out from under the snow drifts!

Although winter isn't letting go, I made another trip to pick up great finds in Lucille's Barn & I am quite pleased to say that the April space is coming together nicely with a Garden Theme & Lots of Brights!

Here is a sneak peek at the April space, with the outdoor porch coming soon!

See you at Picket Fence - next sale April 10-14th.

March with Spring on it's Heels!

Happy March!

The past days have been fantastically sunny and warm!  A few birds have been chirping to welcome Spring!  

From my last blog post, I spent 3 weeks with my dad at Mayo Clinic completing multiple tests, receiving his diagnosis and completing a 1st phase of his chemotherapy.  Mayo is an amazing organization with the top talent of doctors & nurses.  

All has gone well & we were able to bring dad home on March 1st, settling him in to the comfort of his home.  Here is a view from my parent's window, looking out to a fantastic winterscape.  Home to 3 beautiful Swans this winter.
