Rain, rain go away

Wow! What a lighting storm! I've been awake since 3:00 am and it is still raining. I'll have to use my bike in the basement if it doesn't let up soon. It seems to be raining just the right amount this summer. Everything is green and lush (except what the rabbits have eaten!). Pictured is one of my Nordem Outdoor Flower Sacks. How pretty is that! I sent out this week a 4" Flower Sack and a 12" Bird Feeder. I hope to get some feed back (no pun intended, but funny nonetheless!) on both soon. I'll keep you posted and you please do the same! Happy, happy week!

Give Away

Good morning all,
I'm enjoying our beautiful weather and the gardens and potted plants are really growing, that is if the rabbits haven't gotten to them. I like adding color to my yard with hanging baskets and naturally our Nordem Spring Baskets are among my favorites. I guess Danyale of Evoluchun's Misc. thought they were pretty cool too. We partnered to do a give away for one and it ends tomorrow. So do not delay! Here is the link to enter and win! http://evoluchuns.blogspot.com/2010/06/greenpurse-giveaway.html
Happy, happy week!

Screen Saver

I was washing windows last week and noticed I had hole in one of my screens. We've all seen the repair job using a small piece of screen somehow affixed over the hole or the screen sewn together in that spot. I started thinking. I'm a good seamstress and thought I could take some black thread and duplicate the screen pattern. No matter how I thought to accomplish my task I knew you would see the knots in the thread and it would still look like a repair job. I thought some more. People put sun catchers in windows or crystals as decorations and that got me thinking even more. I could sew a decoration over the hole! I picked a flower. Yes, you see the knots, but they are part of the design. Now that is what I call a screen saver! Happy, happy week to all!

I'm getting married in the morning...

Good morning,

For those of you that know me this blog must come as quite a shock. I'm not really getting married tomorrow, but someone probably is, or at least planning for a wedding. Kelly Hunt writes for the Wausa Wedding Planning Examiner and was kind enough to blog about Greenpurse. Here is the link to the article. http://www.examiner.com/x-26304-Wausau-Wedding-Planning-Examiner
Thanks Kelly! GOD BLESS ALL WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO KEEP AMERICA FREE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Next week, something really unusual, stay tuned and happy, happy week!

How does my garden grow?

Good morning,
Now that the nice weather is here to stay (ha, ha), we've decided to do our planting. This year in addition to flowers we are planting some vegetable and herbs. Buying them fresh is very expensive and sometimes wasteful. Recipes often call for just a few leaves of one kind or another or 1/2 cup of this or that. So if you don't plan on using it in something else, it ends up in the garbage. Growing them yourself, you can cut what you need and harvest large or small fruits. Can hardly wait to get started! Stay tuned, you know I'll keep you posted. Happy, happy week!
