Hydrangeas, I can’t wait!

These are in Leaf & Petal so they have not bloomed naturally here yet. But mine have teeny tiny buds. My favorite time of year! We have about 15 Hydrangea’s around our house, all but one planted by us. The blossoms go in the ground one color & come up another color. I can’t wait…

ring toss

Not really, those are bangles. I found them at Leaf & Petal. I remember when bangles were worn almost to my elbow in the 80’s. I have no love for them now. They are pretty though, mine were rubber, like Madonnas’ bangles were.

I do

I whispered in her ear, that she is my best friend & that I had forgotten because we like to both sit in our art studios. But we got together to shop & eat and take pictures &it was the best day ever (as sponge bob says)

the Church mouse

I thought this cement mouse was so cute. I wanted to buy him, but I had a gazillion things already.

Purple African Violets that look a bit like roses

Or tea cups depending on how they open. I’ve never seen one like this and I’m so happy to own one. I’ve had them before, but killed this all. I’m going to learn all that I can as soon as I get a chance, so this one thrives.

but it’s raining…

I love this wall. This is located in Leaf & Petal at the Botanical Gardens. They have a wonderful store, pretties for inside & out. My mother had a hard time getting me out of the store. So much to look at. I would say it is my favorite store in Birmingham. Outside there doors…
