Creative Explosion part 1

This pile of snow in front of the store
is going to take awhile to melt.
we had a beautiful day today ,
sunny and as you can see the snow is going.
Yeah,
I was back at my mess in the store today.


I love the green,cream and yellow mixed
it's cheery!






It felt so good to get these cabinets
moved to there new home.
but as you will see in my next post.
I have aways to go.






Creative Explosion part 2

I moved all my blue and white to the back wall,
I think it made a huge impact all together..

I love my paper apples in the red German wood bowl.
This is a nice solid birch desk my dad built ...


My gosh look at the mess I left for tomorrow...





I can't let you leave with the image of that last picture....




I think I need one of those cover up things for my house.
Yuck, it's been snowing for 2 days very lightly.I was planning on Spring
so I packed up all my warm clothes last Saturday.
Under one of these things 8 months of winter might go by quicker.

I hate to admit my whole yard is WEEDS.
I like to pretend there flowers.
I do have lots of wild Roses ,Fire weed and Lupine.


The problem is every summer we pack up
and move down to my parents fishing lodge.
Where we work in the family business.
So we close up the store and house for 4 months.
So a yard is out of the question.
Someday Madelief, I hope will be my gardening mentor her yard
I covet...
I'm patient my gardening day will come.



I love this look, when it starts to grow on a trellis or house.
I wonder if the overgrown look is easy to do?



Hydrangeas are my ultimate favorite of all time.
This so pretty!

MOST OF ALL
I'll miss eating out, did I mention shopping
