winter growth

Dreaming of some winter growth.

I can't believe January is coming to an end.

However, I must admit, I secretly celebrate when January is over...

too cold AND it is one month closer to spring!!!

more refreshed goodness...

As I mentioned, new product and vintage goods arrive daily.

I love this small windowed wall

perfect back drop for a vignette

I lined up some birch logs to fill the inside of the large mantle.

It looks great with the books in front

pink martini glasses for that special night....

I also have champagne glasses in pink... 

a good spot to curl up with your favorite ...or soon to be favorite, Jeanne d'Arc Living Book from Denmark.

a fun window treatment...I think so

Here it is 

just in from Denmark.

the love of lavender

Hello.

Happy Sunday.

I love my Sunday mornings when I am not at the Hospital doing rounds.

I am now comfy - cozy, settled in front of the computer, with a batch of chocolate chip cookies in the oven.

Yum. Smells good.

I can't wait to have one with my coffee.

I actually had a day off before I went to market to refresh the Barn a bit.

Love to rip things down and refresh.

This area in the Barn is one of my favorite spots to play.

The walls and floor are painted white AND the area is filled with Lavender...

Love it here!!

looking forward to a little planting...

do you obsess over vintage boxes as I do... 

the lavender  

loads of products....

I bet you can smell it from where you are...

If not,  I can ship you some....

I also have some fresh lavender and rose boxed potpourri just in from France.

(sorry no picture)....(yet) But heavenly!!!

Misc. ~ Just in

Oh Sweet Temptations...

on a cold January day...

This gets me in the mood for travel.

Why am I still here when it is -20 degrees outside.

Why am I not packing my bag....

Two jobs and a big dog to take of... might be why

just got back from market...

hummm didn't get any sunshine there...

 I'm going to have to start planning. The little clutch bag looks like it needs an adventure...

Not much to report today just working hard at staying warm.

Not only is it so cold outside, they are saying that it is unsafe, but my heat at the Barn ....which is marginal on a good day...is not working so hot. They are there working on it today again but it is averaging

 50 - 58 degrees...

We are shivering like a bunch of skinny little hounds

Hopefully it will get fixed today.

More photos soon.

Did I say it was cold outside...

Brrrr

As They Say... Baby it's cold outside!!

Warm and Green inside the Barn.

We are UN - boxing like mad men....

or should I say, like crazy little Barn girls...

either way... boxes are getting opened

I am just crazy about succulents.

This fabulous Dry Sink would make the best TV stand...

hint, hint.

For me, at the Barn, it has become my potting table...

You don't really know if anyone else is going to find them special, but when it makes me do

I know I have to share it at my Barn.
