How about some flower therapy on a cold gray or snowy day? I’m sharing a look back at how I puttered, played and planted around the Potting Shed this past year, but first a ‘thank you’ for all your visits and comments in 2021! I’m still surprised and humbled you find the time to visit…
Happy Monday! We’re knocking on October’s door this week, with September flying by way too fast for me! Fall is my favorite season and I always wish it lasted longer.

Happy Monday! Can you believe we’re on the cusp of October? Where did September go? I took some time out to enjoy a little fall nesting in Potting Shed and to celebrate my favorite season. I’m a lover of brown transferware and ironstone anytime of year, but fall is when it really shines. I pulled…
