Herbs, Pots and Dirt Oh My
Things have been so hectic lately that I needed some… well time. I was supposed to be upstairs studying for my computer final, that didn’t last very long. It was such a beautiful day I just couldn’t spend it inside. My husband just shook his head, ah well it was worth it hahaha. So I spent the whole day outside puttering around. I trimmed my boxwood topiaries that flank my front door, I weeded every flower bed, I moved huge meteor landscaping rocks (will show what project those are related to in later post) and finally I got to plant my herbs. I have always wanted a herb garden. Until I get those rocks moved and a bed made for them they have to go into pots. Which is fine, they look beautiful on our veranda.
St. Johns Wort.
Chamomile, Delphina, the big pot has orange mint and spearmint. To the right I have a long pot filled with three different types of Thyme.
Sweet Woodruff.
The whole time I was working in the yard and potting my wonderful herbs I have been contemplating. Boutique or no Boutique? I have forever wanted to open a little shop of my own selling my jewelry, things I have sewn, and of course my bath and body products. We have been self employed for 6 years so we know the ropes of business, however our business is based online. Well I have gone back to school and wasn’t really thinking about a boutique right now, however doors open when you least expect it. I was at tea the other day at Circa 1860 and was talking to the owner Rhonda who (i am shortening this story) who called Kim who owns a wonderful boutique in town (she wasn’t available to speak at the time), so a couple of days later I stopped by her shop and introduced myself. Now I have to step back, there is this wonderful little building that is brick, over 100 years old and has a cute little shop with two huge windows, shutters, window boxes and it’s own entrance with a screen door. How adorable. It has just come available. While I was talking to Kim (owner of Tournesol boutique) I told her about the space. She was giddy, that is where she started 9 years ago. She had put the shutters and window boxes on. She and everyone I have spoken to says to go for it. It is fate that all of these people seem to cross my path? I put a call in this morning to ask about the space and I am currently waiting for a call back. I wonder….. what does my future hold??

So I was reading one (of my many) favorite blogs the other day Posie Gets Cozy and I got totally and utterly overwelmed with needing to buy flowers. Sooo out I went to the farmers market to get some colorful geraniums. I just love them. I had them last year and loved the flare of color, but this year I went a little further and got some english ivy to go in the pots as well. I want the ivy to grow down the sides of the pot and give it that cottage type look. I hope I had the right idea hahah. Things never seem to turn out just how I had planned LOL. We’ll see what happens! Thanks Alicia for your wonderful inspiration!
