green dreams




green dreams ڿڰۣ

if winter comes
can spring be far behind?
~. Percy Bysshe Shelley 

Feeling like I need some sunshine and 
I'm ready to get my hands dirty.  
We've been pouring over seed catalogs 
… dreaming of spring!  
Believe it or not yesterday I saw daffodil leaves popping up at least 2 inches… and pussy willows!  
It's not too far away!

My sister found this awesome site .. Straw Bale Gardens


I'm going to give it a whirl .. it will solve a few problems.  
For one we may seem like we have a long growing season but our temperatures are not hot enough for real great tomatoes & such.
The bales elevate the temps of the soil .. and it is easy to create a handy little greenhouses.. I highly recommend watching their video .. I'm stoked and ready to go!!

Making plans for 



Whoooo Whoo!


Happy Friday!

Azteca Winds




a light wind swept over the corn
and all nature laughed in the sunshine
♦Anne Bronte 3

The other day my daughter & I went into the "big city" ...►Olympia 
... I love living out in the country again!  

We .. of course, had to stop at the thrift shop 
to see if there were any treasures lurking on a shelf somewhere.
  I found a gorgeous vintage wall hanging
.. I say vintage every so lightly as it was 
more than likely from the 70s by the tag 
..  funny what vintage is anymore ... 

Velvety soft chenille in gorgeeeeeous bright colors •• 
deep black, earthy coppery brick, sage, maize, 
iris purple and green grass.  
I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with it 
.. but .. I had to have it!

my daughter on the other hand said
Mom.... what are you going to do with that???



All she needed was a little fringe 
and a couple of beads (of course)

... the newest keepsake at the little ZiBagz shop

Summer Brights

Friday is the first day of summer.
The longest day of the year.
Days are long and the temperature is rising.

Any special plans?

purple


sometimes you just need something purple

deep dark purple
it's a delicious color

.. Kwanzan Flowering Cherry ..

cotton candy pink balls on a sky of blue


friendship is a sheltering tree
Samuel Taylor Coleridge


          listen to the trees talking in their sleep, 

           she whispered, as he lifted her to the ground

             what nice dreams they must have
                                                         LM Montgomery .. Anne of Green Gables


** these photos have not been doctored in any way
straight from the camera lens to you
can you believe it???
they are so amazingly gorgeous
you should stand under the tree!!


we had a most marvelous day 
.. blue sky & sunshine ..
let me say however
for some reason .. 
as beautiful as these trees are in the sunshine
they are twice as splendid on gray overcast days
the pink intensifies 
they are our happy flowers 


... in the little ZiBagz shop


¨.¸¸.¨Rambling Rose Market Tote ¨.¸¸.¨


Fabulous pink floral vintage needle point found while treasure seeking in Wenatchee, WA. 
I've been holding on to it until I had just the right materials to go with. 
Delicious spicy nutmeg suede leather from a outdated 80s jacket .. perfect match. 
A wonderful worn tapestry in wine & mauves .. lovely. 
A bit of stripe velvet upholstery from the 60s .. ahhh so nice! 
add a wee bit of lace & fun trim 
                                                      ... Oooo la la!!!







      ...to slip beneath the surface and soar along the silent bottom of the sea
                         agile and shining in water honeycombed with light.
