Sweet, sweet peas!

The sweet pea.

I always think of little girls when I see the sweet pea bloom.

Don't know why.

Just do.

It is everything sugar and spice,
And all things nice.

What would a cottage garden be without them?

Every Spring I buy a couple of seed packets and plant them anywhere and everywhere.

They do not self seed well here in my climate and I never remember to collect the seed.

So I buy.

Seems like such a small price to pay for 'pretty'.

Don't you agree?

And the 'pretty' will continue all the way through Fall.

They are just SO Cath Kidston-ie too.

The mudroom is getting a shake up and I thought some bright colors

were in order out here. 

It will be a treat to walk in the back door and see this.

At least until the frost gets them.

Have you got your copy of this?

It's Jo-Anne Coletti's latest issue of
The Feminine Home- Where The Heart Is.

Well I know how you can!
It's been all over blogland.

Last year I was lucky enough to have been included in the first issue she did.
She featured my studio and garden in it. It was such an honor.

I am sure this issue is just as lovely as the last one was.
In fact, I KNOW it will be.
Every thing Jo-Anne does is beautiful!!!
