Make your heart sing!

What a view this morning as I looked out my kitchen window - even in overcast, cloudy skies this picture truly makes your heart sing doesn't it?? Not only is the forsythia and grape hyacinths out - there are buds on the trees everywhere (finally - the wait was agonizing!!)

The service berry trees are going to pop soon - as well as the dogwoods. The Lilly of the valley are coming up, and even my hollyhocks are greening up - ready for some needed cleaning up - ahhhhh spring is REALLY here now!





Things have been pretty crazy around here - as if you couldn't guess by the lack of posts!! Of course - tax time is over - hallelujah!! The sale has started with a big bang and we just finished our Decorator's Dialog over at Color Haven today. What a fun day that was! The Summer Kitchen Girls, as well as Joe Wasserman from Bella Cosa Floral Studio, Jill Otermat, from Jill Otermat Professional Faux Finishes, Jeanie Zunk from A Variety of Shades, and Shirley Whittaker from Re-Create Interiors all gathered in John and Brenda Haven's Benjamin Moore paint store to inspire customers with choosing paint colors and solving decorating dilemmas. It was a success - we had quite a few people in and are looking forward to doing it again next year!!

Wanted to mention the Caldrea special - I forgot to say something about it in the last post - For every purchase of Caldrea product you'll receive a free Caldrea french pop-up sponge. We are also giving away a bucket of Caldrea for


"Clean Sweep" month - you know, to help the task along....so, stop into the store to sign up - or comment on the blog to enter - now through the end of the month, and we'll put you in the drawing!!
