Iris Reticulata were the first to bloom this Spring!
Hi Friends!
Springtime is just filled with new beginnings! Tiny, green shoots are emerging in the garden after a very long winter. Early Spring flowers brighten each day! So many new techniques are helping me grow as a cardmaker. The small moments of each day are the perfect times to enjoy the quiet, simple joys of life ~ a cup of tea, a long letter from a friend, a lovely quilt, or the time worn patina and stories of a treasured antique.
Daffodils are like rays of sunshine in the Springtime!
This Spring also celebrates my first steps as a new blogger! It has been such fun to create a little place where kindred spirits can gather, learn, and share. I look forward to sharing my love of gardening, paper crafting, and the simple pleasures that make life sweet.
Come visit often! I hope each post will feel like a letter from a friend… and that you will leave a little comment. I look forward to hearing from you!

Heartfelt thanks, Katherine! I have lots of ideas and can’t wait to share. A tour of our garden in all of its Springtime splendor will be coming soon! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. Hope we will meet here again very soon! ♡
I would love a tour of your tea garden and then a tutorial on how you make your teas! xo…Karen
What a great idea for a summertime post, Karen! When the herb garden is lush and green, we’ll take a tour and enjoy a cup of herbal tea! ♡
