It's starting to feel like spring in Sutter Creek. One of my favorite things to decorate with this time of year is blossom branches. Although they only last for a week or so they are a wonderful cure for Spring Fever. If blossoms are not available on your property I recommend asking a friend or neighbor for permission to cut - on occasion I will pull off to the side of the road and snip a few branches. Never cross a fence line - but I think blossoms growing on the shoulder of the road are just begging to go home with you! Another recommendation - carry a pair of pruning shears in your car - they come in handy for random harvesting of blossom branches, pussy willows or other roadside finds.




Warm sunshine streaming into the shop!




Real daffodils will be coming soon!!!

    Your shop looks wonderful. Wish I was close enough to visit. Your pictures are very inviting.
    What a great idea! Carry pruning shears. Think I will follow the suggestion.
    Take care.

    Have fun finding roadside clippings. Pussy willows are great - they are usually out in February and March in our area and grow along creeks. Take care!

    I just came by from Maria's and how happy I am that you have a blog! I have been to your shop several times. I live about 40 mins away in the valley. We always stop by on our way home from Pine Grove Indian Grinding Rock because your shop is a favorite of mine! I have bought seeds, paper white bulbs, urns, pots, soaps, etc. And one day when I have grandbabies I will buy your wonderful items for children. Welcome to the blogging community. ox
