Dried Clementines~

This is the time of year for Clementines~
They are abundant in all the grocery stores now and pretty reasonably priced. Besides being Yummy, Clementines are very easy to dry. I dry the peels on the ones that we are going to eat, and for the fruit that's gotten older, I will dry them whole.



I'll layer the clementines on a tray and place them near the woodstoves. Very rustic! Once they are completely dried, store them in a glass jar.



These look beautiful in my NEW Lavender-Mandarin Potpourri!!

Springtime in the Hilltowns

The First Signs of Spring are showing up here in the Hilltowns! The Daffodils and Crocus's are pushing their way up through the soil and the Robins have invaded our property!! Yippee! Spring has kept its promise once Again :)



I just received some bunches of Celosia and displayed them w/ the "Spring" pottery setting at the shop. I LOVE how the deep burgundy color of the Celosia compliments the Amber colors of the Sweet Annie and the Sky Blue color of the "Egg & Nest" displays~~ Beautiful!

I'll post the Celosia on the website for Sale if anyones interested. I also received some Yarrow, Tansy, Oregano & Strawflowers.







A New Batch of Lavender Bundles are In!!
Now Available Wholesale as well!





It wouldn't be SPRING without the addition of Birdhouses and Bird Nests!
I've received some great Birdhouses at the Crow's Nest and More are on their way!!
