Today is officially the last day of our renter history! One more load of random things + a little mopping, and we're outta the rental house for good! It feels awesome. Because our new house already feels so much like home. Even with projects undone and boxes unpacked, it feels like ours. It feels different. It feels really wonderful.
And I promised myself fresh flowers, remember? So I went an plucked some out from the backyard this morning. The prior owner didn't seem to be much into planting stuff, as these little bluebells are volunteers from the neighbors yard, and that's about all the springtime flowers we have (there are some peonies & roses that'll bloom later tho!) I did find some rosemary, so I added that in too- it smells so good! By this time next year I hope to have a yard full of different kinds of flowers and herbs. I can't wait to get started playing in the dirt!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! What are your plans? PDXers, will I see you at Crafty Wonderland?

so pretty! they look ike agapanthus.
I'm just starting to do my gardening for the year, we have had all your rain down here and it's been too miserable to get to it earlier, so I'd love to follow along with what you're doing, too, since I haven't been thinking about it much ;]

Looks lovely! I am jealous of your back yard space--playing in the dirt is the best.

Congrats, that's a HUGE accomplishment and fresh flowers bring it full circle back to the simple things:)

There is something amazing about having cut flowers from ones own yard! I love it, although I have to say that I usually like them on the plant too much to cut them and bring them in! As for this weekend, I'm vending at Crafty so come say hi at Booth #137-Amy Wing Designs!

Pretty! Im always making vases out of glasses, cups etc. I made one very similar to this using my Alice In Wonderland tall water glasses from Urban Outfitters.
love!

The design in the vase was awesome. It's so pretty and elegant at the same time.

Oh no Amy! I tried to introduce myself to all the vendors I recognized, but somehow I missed you! I'm sorry! Just too much to look at I guess. Next time, for sure!
