Weekend Inspiration

Don't you just LOVE the sunshine?
I have been busy cleaning out the perennial beds,
and bringing some summer things out to the shop...
What have you been working on?

 I took a few photos to inspire you and enable you to 
visualize items in your home
...Birds are the thing for summer...
and of course flowers! 
I will have several shipments coming in 
over the next few weeks so stay tuned!!!
 Nestle a bird into a sprig and set in your porch
or entryway to tweet a little "hi" to your guests!
 Honor a friend with an expression of your love. <3
 This house lights up. Could be in a covered porch,
a screen porch or any room in the house for a warm
glow...lights are on, we are home!!!

 A couple of summer arrows. I also have
an American flag and a Welcome sign!

 New coasters and trivets...the set of benches 
can be used as a stack or scatter them for a raised
display on a buffet or a countertop!

 A trio of stars would look wonderful with framed
family photos on a buffet or bookshelf.
Only one sunflower dishtowel left and inside
 the little cabinet is a sunflower spoon rest~darling~!
 I love this distressed bowl. You could use it for 
serving or for displaying bird-eggs!
 Safely light up a corner with either
of these wall sconces. 
One holds votives and whatever you may
want underneath for color...
Below, you see a full sized candle. 

shop hours:
Friday 10-4
Saturday 10-4

It's an Easter Weekend SALE!!

THIS WEEKEND!!!
Hello friends! I wanted you to know that my husband only has one month left of working in Florida! I have spent a total of about 25 days down there since January. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to explore much of Northern Florida including the beaches on the East and the Northern Gulf. 
...and sadly ...no, I didn't get a tan...
In so doing, I have necessarily neglected some things at home, and that includes the shop. Christmas decor stayed in the porch a little longer than normal was anything normal this winter??? and I wasn't able to make a show that took place in March. I also realize that my one day per week schedule has been an inconvenience for some of you and I thank you for your patience.

BUT. I'm back in business and hope to see you soon!

I am returning to my normal winter hours this weekend

through April and May 
Which are:
FRIDAY 10-4
SATURDAY 10-4
{and I will still take appointments for other times if you are interested!}

Also this weekend
ALL THINGS SPRING WILL BE 25% OFF!
That means eggs, rabbits, and spring floral!
HAVE A HAPPY EASTER!!!

We Got Sunshine on a Summer-Winter Day

As I step outside today I want to
plant flowers in my window boxes!!!
In MARCH!!!
The snow is GONE, and I actually
saw a report on Facebook yesterday that
the crocus are blooming in town!!
Typically out in the country we don't 
see flowers as early as they do in town.
Do you have any blooms yet?

In case you are popping in to check: 

JUST IN!!!
New fragrances in from Black Crow Candle Co.
{new reed diffusers and melts also!}
~PLUS~ 
You can always find country cabinets and 
cupboards to accent your decor. 
 The towel-rod is a great piece to mount near the 
sink or on a door frame.
This weekend hours
Friday 10-4
Saturday 10-4
then
NEXT WEEKEND (March 24)
Saturday 10-2

once a month to Florida

home and shop,
the winter is going 
by much faster than usual.
....But it is time for....

*SPRING*SPRING*SPRING*

penny runners.

 Flowers are sprouting!
Sadly,  I dropped Mr. Bunny

If you make an offer for him 
I will accept it. :)

still whole and would look 
wonderful next to 
a basket of candy or eggs!

eggs are all springy accents 
you can bring into your 
decorating today and keep

Egg Sighting!

Though we are starting to finally 
get snow here...{What an ODD year!!}
Spring...and Easter are not very far away...
Signs of it are arriving inside the shop these days.
{I still find it a little too cold to tweak the porch 
and "plant" posies... So the
evergreen and berries remain temporarily.}
It is egg~sighting to anticipate the flowers poking through
the earth and the leaves beginning to bud.
You can bring in a little spring early
by adding a wreath around a candle.
Or a little nest with eggs...
 
Check out my Spring Thing board
on Pinterest for more inspiring spring things!
~And follow me there, I'll follow you back!~

Stop in @ Bittersweet Farm for
more Egg Sightings...

Shop Hours tomorrow (Saturday): 10-4

Of Seafoam and Sage

Green is a universal color in decorating! 
Every season has it's own green and 
every "era" of decorating has it's own also. 

Consider the Avacado of the 70's: 
...I know you are hoping for a come-back! ;)
The Seafoam of the 80's: 

The Hunter of the 90's:

The Sage of the 00's: 

Still the sage green is ruling the green themes. 
It is a classic: a calm, bright and yet muted hue of green. 

I have it out in the shop for 
spring with the tulips,
 summer with the daisies, 
fall with the pumpkins, 
and winter with the reds of Christmas.
.....And NOW.....

Just in: 

 Then of course, the classic country red and black:


I will be offering 
20% off all of these 
NEW TOWELS

TOMORROW!!!
Saturday, February18th from 10-4
(yes I am staying open until 4)
