Purple glass earrings

You might know that I’ve been making jewelry from the pages of my book (we had one with a scuffed cover and my daughter saw the idea on Pinterest!) and I thought I’d post a few pairs of earrings made this week. These are all of the throatwort flower. For more about the jewelry and upcoming shows click on tabs at top. Thanks!

Lavender harvest

I love lavender (see photo of it in bloom below). Here is some I harvested that is decorating my carport while it dries. I picked the pink ones just today, the others last week.

Blue hydrangeas

The hydrangeas are beginning. I love that they bloom in the shade. It’s easier to keep them watered properly in shade, anyway. Remember, the “hydra” in their name means they love/need water!

Picnic table bouquet

Went to a neighbor’s party yesterday and she had the most beautiful bouquets of her garden flowers on the tables.

Rose garden

My front yard has roses and lavender. Life is good.

Lavender blooming

For some reason, lavender does VERY well in my garden, even bestowing little volunteer plants. I have the munstead type and a pink one, which is even more vigorous. Garden tip: For drying, pick the flowers when they are still closed up, like the ones below. Just a loose bunch of stems wrapped with twine and hung upside down on a nail will do it.

Purple sweet peas

Sweet peas are some of the more challenging flowers to photograph. In person they are delicate, graceful and charming, but most of my photos fail to show them to advantage. Maybe next time.

Pink honeysuckle macro

I saw this honeysuckle vine growing and blooming in a vacant property, in a lot of shade. I realized that it must be some tough plant, and took two small pieces home, and one rooted. Now this is blooming on the north side of my house. I really appreciate plants that flower in full shade, and it’s fragrant to boot!
