new bags

My lovely sales rep in California, Ginger, was requesting some different types of bags, so here are some new ones that will be available in stores and in my etsy shop. I really like the square bag- such a nice size - don't know why it took this long to make one like this...!

bees

See the new picture on the top of the blog? Well I'm happy to say that this spring we set up our first bee hive- (this pic was several months ago). It's really been fun watching the bees bring in pollen- they get really busy on warm days. We should be able to have honey next year. I already have block print bee cards, but I'm being inspired to make a bee pillow next....this is my bee printed on linen

Do you love dishes like I do?

If you love to look at dishes- check out this site- Replacements Ltd I literally spent/wasted hours looking up dishes- I think this little Pyrex covered dish is adorable ( I don't like to store food in plastic, so wouldn't this be wonderful- and the rooster is so cute!) Our plate collection is rather eclectic- one each of many different types of dish, but I may just get another one of these: it's called "Royal Chippendale" and our one little plate has really grown on me over the years. Anyway- if you have a couple of free hours (haha) check out some wonderful dishes.

WOW-this is so worth seeing- Thanks to Eliana!
