Yesterday, we visited our favorite local nursery with all of it's creative garden displays. The Alice garden was in full swing, I love the oversized chess pieces. The king piece had a long pointy nose and beard, he looked so snobby! In the back there are wooden cut-outs of playing cards painting the roses red. Every spring the Alice garden gets a little more elaborate, so it's always fun to go see all of the little things that have been changed.
Whenever I visit this place I always feel creatively energized, it's bursting at the seams with rotating displays and garden room ideas you never dreamed possible.
I also always have fun looking at all of the new miniature garden displays, here are a few of the ones I saw yesterday...
This one was pretty elaborate. It was planted in an old wooden wheel-barrel, complete with a little wooden bridge over a stream of water.
I liked this idea of an under the sea garden. It's planted in an two tier sea horse fountain, with succulents, shells, mermaids, and sea glass.
also...
Last week I had the weirdest deja vu standing in front of the Mother's day card display at Target. I noticed these birds peeking out from the back row, and thought "man...those look strangely familiar...like Tania's Birds." I pulled out the card and looked at the back, and sure enough it was a Tania Howells illustration. I loved the serendipity of it all. The same thing happened recently when I was at the bookstore. I started to browse through a knitting book filled with Erica Mulherin's illustrations of Currently . You just can't help but smile to yourself.
