The crocus are up, hyacinths are just beginning to open and daffodils are starting their birth. I love spring with all of the promise of what is to come. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and Passover. We were invited to our first Seder dinner this weekend. It was a memorable evening. We celebrate Eastern Orthodox Easter on Sunday April 12th.
This Saturday is Gardenfest at Mchenry County College in Crystal Lake. My presentation is ready. I am so excited to share my love of creating gardens with flea market finds.
I have been so busy with finishing up little projects, searching for treasures to bring to Carriage House Antiques and anything else that comes up. I had this wonderful night stand that was sponge painted a pink/grey color. I painted it white this weekend and added a glass nob for a more vintage look. I love how it came out.
The Mchenry Garden Club is having a Container Garden Show on April 28th at Mchenry West High School in Mchenry. Carriage House Antiques donated a wonderful basket filled with garden related items for the raffle.
Once again, I rearranged my space at the store. It looks so light and bright. I love moving things around so that everything looks so new. I brought in this wonderful bird cage with white chipped/rusty patina. It looks so awesome hanging from the ceiling.
Next week I'm going to start planting lettuce/spinach/swiss chard. I can't wait to taste the freshness!
Happy treasure hunting.
