When I saw these English Daisies today, I had to have them because they made me smile. . Nala was wondering what I was doing…putting flowers on the floor. Don’t they look like a crazy Muppet?!

my mouse holds the air plant
I love air plants. I love finding neat ways of displaying them. Air plants need only to soak in water every two weeks for 20 minutes. I love buying garden art that can double something else, like this cool display. This mouse is above my kitchen sink window. How can dishes be annoying when I’ve…
Origami box holds love
My mom makes origami boxes for a few locally (#buylocal!) owned businesses in Birmingham. Our family has a few boxes each because she always included a small gift, like jewelry, inside a box for birthday gifts. I have my boxes displayed on my shelves.

Yukon Trading Co.
One of my favorite local (privately owned) businesses. Located five minutes from my house, much to my husband’s chagrin. The owner is a wonderful, warm & giving woman. P.S. the fish? I it sits beside my fireplace b/c my husband loves to fish at Saab Lake in Pell City. This is his biggest catch yet….

I’ve said this a thousand times. But…here is 1,001. For our own self-preservation, support your local, privately owned businesses (no matter where you are). These owners are our neighbors. If they succeed, then we all do. Besides, life reflected in glass that is cylindrical, distorts it just enough to make it all the more beautiful….
