ETSYBLOGGERS: BLOG CARNIVAL
Now that spring has sprung, it's planting time. If you're into gardening, what would your dream garden look like? What flowers/bulbs/herbs would you plant? What about garden doodads or statues?
Last year we cleared out space for a vegetable garden. It ended up being a great garden, we ended up with a bunch of vegetables. Our Tomato plants were the biggest I had seen about 3ft tall each and the stalks on them with thick and strong. I was impressed.
This year I'm hopping to plant more of a variety since last years was smaller and just a test to see how well things would do. I'm hopping to clear out more space and I'm going to also be planting things a bit further apart this year. Last year everything was about a foot apart or more and it still was to close together because the plants got so big.
I haven't really been able to plant flowers yet, we're still working on the landscaping aspect and have nothing but ground cover type plants. (Juniper, Ivy ect.) I can't stand it personally, hopefully this year we will get it all pulled out. Last year we tackled some of the larger bushes this year will be the smaller ones.
As far as decorations go I don't have many. I have a few stones, hanging tea light holders and some chimes. Nothing really overboard for the decorations.
I should be starting on things this week as we have two lovely days cmming up (Hopefully they stay that way).

The Friday Five: Spring Flowers
The weather is completely beautiful here today. It is currently it is 67 degrees, and sunny. Sadly this weather will not be lasting long, we probably won't see another day like this for at least another two weeks or so. However it is a more then welcomed taste of spring and what is coming.
I can't wait until we have this weather again daily.
So in honor of our lovely spring weather here today, our Friday Five theme is Spring Flowers.

March Is Here & That Means Spring Is Near!
"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal
of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our
yards seems light years away." - Thalassa Cruso
Oh how true this quote is. March is a great month filled with so many great things, St. Patricks Day, my birthday, various family birthdays, spring forward, spring solstice as well as national craft month (and various other month specific occasions).
However, it never seems to fail that on my birthday March 18th, we end up getting the last snow storm of the year. Their have only been perhaps two or three years I remember not seeing snow on my birthday. It's quite disappointing since my birthday is 3 days prior to the first day of spring. None the less this still means that spring is almost here and summer is right around the corner. Reagurdless of snow and coldness that March tends to start off with by the last few days we can normally see quite a change. Temperatures start to regulate themselves as it gets warmer and flowers start to bloom.
Then my brain instantly kicks into summer mode as I quickly forget about longing for spring. Summer is my favorite month, and Spring simply means that it is almost here. I'll soon be able to replace boots with flip-flops, and t-shirts with tank tops. Oh, how I look forward to days like these.
I also updated my Etsy Shop today with some lovely new spring pieces as well as a few traditional pieces. I also have 3 beautiful St. Patricks Day inspired key necklaces being featured at the moment.
