Feelin' girly.....

I had a kind of girly weekend.

Maybe listening to friend's relationship snafu's had me feeling glad to be free & single (not that I always feel that way ~ if Prince Charming's listening I'm wiggling my toes here.....), or maybe it's the sunny weather & my garden bursting into bloom, or all the gorgeous spring colors I've been scrolling through over on Tumblr, but I found myself embracing my inner girl.....& it felt pretty good.

I painted my nails pale pink, tracked down a decadant cupcake.....O.K., two :  ) & made some new bracelets with spring in mind. Check them out here.

Little Cactus

Big flower.

Huge fragrance.
It's spring!

Several years ago I worked in a nursery with a super enthusiastic eighteen year old who possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of esoteric botanical information. He used to bounce up & present me with his "useless fact for the day".

We shared a passion for fragrant plants, happily wandering around tending to plants with pollen on on the tips of our noses. 

One day he brought me a little three inch lump of a cactus pup & told me, "Full sun. You're gonna have a six inch flower that you can smell from ten feet away!"  I was skeptical, but as usual he was right. As long as this little guy is in the sun he happily heralds in spring each year.
