Watching our Gardens Grow



It’s that wonderful time of year when we all get to pause and marvel at the bounty offered to us by the harvest season.  Our gardens, in their first year, have brought great joy to all of us and we have sincerely delighted in watching them grow.

We are all amazed by what has grown and how well it has grown.  My children are particularly impressed by the height of their sunflowers, which started out as ordinary sunflower seeds.

I am reminded of the words, “out of small things proceedeth that which is great.”

Truly, that has been the case in our yard this year.  I hope they’re getting it.  I hope they’re learning from this.

How does your garden grow?

Kitchen Windows



I realized when I posted about my new kitchen sign that I’d never taken pictures of the valances I made for my kitchen windows this summer.  I previously had vintage white linen in the windows but wanted some pattern in the room.  I found a Robert Allen print that I liked and went with that.


I like the way it brings a few more shades of blue into the room as well as a touch of green and yellow.


I also picked up a mirror on clearance, painted it white, and hung it between the two windows in the eating area.  A simple project that adds beauty to my kitchen.
