20° is not funny!


I woke up this morning to 20°
that is a bit too nippy for my liking!

.. not a dry cold, mind you 
we get a lot of moisture around here being not too far 
from the great Pacific Coast
it's cold to the bones

even Wookie is feeling a bit under the weather..



it is sunny . I must say .. so we do love that!

a lot of people like snow.
I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water 
... Carl Reiner 

and look at the cute find found thrifting yesterday



gotta' luv um!

new in the little ZiBagz shop

inspired by a longing to get my hands in the dirt
 for a little gardening delight



it was such a pleasure to sink one's hands into the warm earth
to feel at one's fingertips the possibilities of the new season
Kate Morton ~ The Forgotten Garden 


however many years she lived
Mary always felt that 'she should never forget 
that first morning when her garden began to grow
Frances Hodgson Burnett ~The Secret Garden



May I a small house and large garden have
and a few friends
and many books .. both true

.. Abraham Cowley



when people will not weed their own minds
they are apt to be overrun by nettles
.. Horace Walpole  

 how is that for a name... 
I thought it such good advice I had to add it
making goals for the year and all .. you know



now wouldn't these be just lovely for a spring wedding?



and here we have


O wind
if winter comes
can Spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

I hope you are having a 
delightfully sunny day
and remember
spring is not too far around the corner!

.. 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

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.
