Hello Friends!

Take a look at that follower button.....

I'll wait............

Do ya see??????

Yep...over 1000!!!!!

Woooooooo Hoooooo!!

You know what that means...........

The give-away is right around the corner.

I am having a blast putting it all together!

In the mean time enjoy this lovely picture of my wonderful potting bench......that really isn't mine.

But I do have a few of the same flower pots as this gal does.

She's probably really sick of this whole display by now anyway wouldn't you think?. I mean it was featured in BH awhile ago and I am sure she would really like someone to just say "hey...I'll take all that off your hands for ya....geez it must be like a gigantic dust collector! If I removed all this stuff for you, you could hang up a lovely mirror or print! Less is more right?"

I know......Dream On.......Dream on..........

(stay tuned for that give away!!!)

Hello Friends!

That may not be a huge deal here on blogland where so many other blogs have a gazillion more than that , but to me

It's AMAZING!

I feel so grateful that so many of you give a hoot about this lil ole blog of mine!

When I started this , my computer knowledge consisted of using Mircosoft word to create a flyer, sending emails and listing stuff on ebay.

Blogging opened up a whole new world!

Uploading photos, adding gadgets, photo editing,layouts...stuff I never dreamed I could do.

The VERY BEST PART of all this blogging

is ALL OF YOU....

hands down, no comparisson!

All the time you spend reading, looking, commenting, emailing has not and never will go unnoticed.

I appreciate all that you have given me and continue to do so! You keep my creative wheels spinnin!

Soooooo....in honor of this MEGA HUGE accomplishment.....

When that follower gadget hits 1000.....

I am going to have a SUPER DUPER GIVE~AWAY!

Take a look at the photo below.......

Do I need to explain? Picture me with my nose stuck in these plants for the past few days!

(what a vision huh?)

OH * THE * SCENT*!!!

Bliss is all I can say!

I was so happy to get to the green house the other day and see rows of wonderful Herbs!

I grabbed plenty to make up my herb baskets for the Open House this weekend.

Sweet Basil (another good smelly!), garlic chives, ornamental oregano, thyme, curly parsely!

Be sure to get there early if you want one of these because they always sell out quick.

Once I got to the greenhouse , I didn't want to leave. It felt so good in there. All the hanging baskets still have some growing to do but you can be sure I will be back...probably more than once.

ANYONE INTERESTED in an HERB DAY at the shop? We are planning to have one in April!

*You will be able to put together your own herb basket

*Demonstrations using Herbs in recipes

*Take home info on how to care for Herbs and how to cook with them

all day in anticipation of the winner of my Pottery Barn Give~Away LOL!!

Before I do the BIG REVEAL ( and no fair scrolling faster to avoid all my blah blah blah)

let me just tell you how we did this one!

First, I bought this way cool roll of old tickets (all numbered) off etsy. Then when you signed up for the give~away I tore off as many tickets as you had coming (wrote down your corresponding #'s on a sheet of paper so I could use the tickets again) and put them in a wood bowl...there was ALOT!

THEN....I was trying to decide how and who was going to pick the winner when I heard

"Hey honey...let's run to Food Lion (grocery store)"

AH-HA!!! That's IT!!! I put on the flip flops and took the bowl of names with me to the grocery store and let the cashier pick the name!

I was so jazzed I thought of this that in all my excitement I didn't even think to take my camera!

After a little explaining about the blog and give~aways and followers and comments and all she reached in......

swirled the tickets around....

pulled one out......

that belonged too.......

Debra at Common Ground!!!
