White Wednesday...

As you know,
since we decided to move,
shopping is a No-No around here.
Even a very strict rule has been implemented:
if 1 new thing comes in
4 old things have to come out.


Well, I need 4 old things to say good bye to,
because I just couldn't resist this pretty bag
from Janet at Flora Doora!

Her cute, cute bags are lined in plastic perfect to hold fresh flowers...

Jane's motto is:
"Spreading happiness one bag at the time"

She sure was successful this time,
I smile every time I walk by mine...

Hope this day brings you enough reason to smile!
Happy White Wednesday!

Gardening 101

We must admit: gardeners... we are not!
We grew up in sky risers in downtown Buenos Aires, with only an occasional house plant growing in a sunny corner...no garden, no backyard...(No, don't feel bad for us, the city life was a lot of fun!)
Throughout the years we have killed lots of plants, lets make that thousands of plants...
We can't grow fancy flowers with difficult names....heck, we can't even spell those names!!
But the funny thing is that we LOVE gardening, so we just had to learn to stick with the simple and an assumed...

Our favorites varieties are:
"The Impossible to Kill" Lavender


"I Love Pesto" Basil...

"Let's Pretend We Are Gardeners" Roses...

and lately...the "How Come I Never Had These Before??" Succulents

These are planted in vintage glass lamp parts...

...we might not be gardeners, but we sure are resourceful recyclers!!!
