Quilt Coat
I found this super old quilt at a garage sale a few years ago. I actually bought two quilts! One is in great shape, with a pretty tulip pattern and is used in my guest bedroom. The other was not in great shape so I tried using it as a rug for awhile. It just […]

Fall Flowers

Dusty, the farm cat, followed me around hopping through the plants. I gathered garden roses, antiqued hydrangeas, moldy zinnias, half-dead mums, snowberries, early anemones, forsythia […]

Bright & Moody
The summer is quickly heating up. On this wedding day, temps were 104 degrees! Yuck! The centerpieces were in the shade, so we had our fingers crossed all would hold up in the warm weather. These wedding flowers were entirely grown in CA! Most were grown by us in Roseville. Luckily our garden rose bushes […]
