Zinnias

We go to the farmers market every week, and every week there are lovely bouquets of farm fresh flowers such as Zinnias and Sunflowers, but I went all summer without buying any for one reason or another.  So one day this early fall, I decided it was time to treat myself to some farmers market blooms!  They weren't the freshest of Zinnias since it was fall, but I still enjoyed them in the house for a few days. : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think next year I need to make some sort of cutting garden on the backside of the garage and plant me Zinnias and Cosmos to bring inside all summer. 

The list of future projects in my head never ends! ha!

Farmers Market!

Guess what time it is???? Farmer's Market Time!!!!  The farmer's markets finally opened around where we live.  Our new town has one within walking distance every weekend. Our old town had a really good one, so we were excited to see how our new towns's compared.

 

 

Well it doesn't quite compare, but it is still pretty good.  There weren't as many produce vendors, nor did it have the big farm that has the huge stand. But there were a number of other fun vendors, some of which were the same as our old town.  And there was a one man woman band! Which was fun!  I wonder if that is every weekend?

 

 

 

 

 

We got some fancy bread, fancy ravioli's and crumb cake for my dad and pop for fathers day.

I am glad we have one in walking distance, but I am sure at some point this summer, we will head back to our old town for their market too!

Bring on the fresh produce!!!!

 

A new bunny

Not only did I take lots of pictures at my last 2 nursery trips, I got a few things too. : ) 

I brought home 2 ferns (Sadly one of them has already died!), a cute pot to put the fern that lived in for my kitchen and a sweet little bunny. 

My nice new pot and fern found a home with my silver pitcher. : )

I think I must have had my eye on that pot for a while, since I took a picture of it this winter! haha

How could I walk past a bunny like that and not bring her home!!!

Welcome Spring

I feel like it just stopped snowing and all of a sudden there are dandelions in my yard! haha  I have been pretty busy and stressed so I took a trip to one of my favorite garden centers last weekend to unwind, stroll around, soak up some early spring.  Then yesterday I had meet a client near my other favorite garden center...so I decided to stroll around there too!  Last weekend I stayed strong and didn't buy anything, this weekend no so much..haha But I didn't get a lot so it is a-ok!

 

Please enjoy some photos from my recent de-stressing nursery strolls : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas at the Nursery

I have 2 favorite nurseries which I love going to, especially at Christmas time!  Please enjoy some pretty images! 

 

 

I loved this turquoise planter/bowl with the curled handles.

 

I have no idea what you would do with that green thing in the bottom right corner for, but it was fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was good and did not get anythings for myself since I was Christmas shopping, but I did want that silver santa and the pot to the left of that awesome table. (I wanted to awesome table too, but I saying no to furniture is a lot easier than saying no to knick knacks!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas season, more pictures, HOUSE PICTURES to come!!! : )

Fall Family Fun Day

 

A few weeks ago, Colin and myself, joined my parents for a family fall day! It was a gorgeous day and great weather for a farm and winery day! : )

 

 First up was this huge produce market! I love me some produce!!!!

 

 Brussels Sprouts Photo Shoot!!!!

 

Then we checked out a few other farms and got some lunch and bought some yummy pies!

 

Next up was a winery.  We just went to one, but there were tons! Next time we will need to go to more! My mom and I enjoyed a fresh glass of white wine while sitting outside to enjoy the music and view.  I wish we could do that every Sunday afternoon!
