Playing with dirt and 50 cent find

In the spring, at the end of the day,

you should smell like dirt.

-Margaret Atwood

Sometimes the tiniest flowers

smell the sweetest.

-Emilie Barnes

Earth laughs in flowers.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Grow what you love,

the love will keep it growing.

-Emilie Barnes

You're only here for a short visit.

Don't hurry, don't worry,

and stop to smell the flowers along the way.

-Walter Hagen

Don't you just love my little gray clay pot?? My 50 cent purchase at an antique mall.

I was wishing they had a dozen of them!

My adorable little fairy chair that I have had for several years.

I was in my potting shed today planting violas in teacups for a Ladies tea that we are having at our church on Sunday. Guess who is in charge of the decor?

ps...I am loving my new camera!

Happy playing in the dirt in the days ahead. :)

Teacup Tuesday and Paint ~

Kim over at Shabby Pink and Pretty asked me to join in Teacup Tuesday last week and I almost totally forgot today! I used to own a zillion teacups and saucers, teapots and lots of things related to tea, but I have since sold a lot of them and only kept a few that I just can't part with. This set is one of them. I love it's gorgeous delicate pattern ~ This is what I have been busy doing that I almost missed Teacup Tuesday...better late than never I guess...LOL I really don't mind painting , but I can do without the whole process of getting ready to paint...taping off, cutting in, moving everything out of the room etc...by the time I start actually painting I am tired! ~

My favorite color of paint right now...it is called *SUMMER LINEN*...just the name alone would get me to buy it. LOL I painted my entry way this color a few years ago and thankfully held onto the paint chip because they don't have it anymore...but I took my paint chip in and had it mixed and it is spot on! ~ I hope you have a wonderful day today...it is gorgeous here in Michigan~ Blessings~
