Spring!

I just can't wait another minute...

Here are some of my new fabrics for the new season. I've already started some Spring FROCKs.

And there will be lots more denim in our shop. (This one has sold already.)

Birds + Dirty Snow

It is possible to find beauty amongst the filthy, black, brown mounds of old snow...

especially when the temps rise above 40.

Frock...these days.

Been dodging snow squalls...

...and keeping the shop stocked.

Had Lunch At The Beach With This Bird Today...

“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.

Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.

Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.

Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”

-Yoko Ono

2011 is the year of the clean closet(s).

So far, it's been a smooth go...thanks to one too many "Snow Days".

And here is a random photo of a cardinal on our bird feeder.

A Good Old Swede

I lost my Grandpa on Monday.
He went pretty unexpectedly.
I just assumed I'd see him out in the yard on one of his many tag-sale-find tractors this Spring but sadly, those days are gone. My grandparents have always been a key part of my life. They'd managed to fill in a place in me that might otherwise have been left empty.
I will forever be grateful to them for the years we spent together.
RIP Gramp.
You'll be missed.

Stewing

Mother Nature gave us 2 feet of snow...and we made Oyster Stew.

Um, it's still snowing.
