Birthday Weekend

Lovely flowers from lovely clients....

Welcome Weekend....

Home Grown Avocados!

Did you know that, thanks to Super Bowl Sunday guacamole, more avocados are consumed in the U.S. in January and early February than any other time of the year?
Despite the fact that our household knows next to nothing about sports, the avocado tree in our backyard decided to celebrate the season by gifting us with -TWO- lovely little avocados...

This is quite a feat for us here in the middle of San Francisco, as our climate zone is not really warm enough in the summer for avocados to thrive.

But that does not prevent our avocado tree from flowering like crazy every year...

And every year we fervently hope that some of these flower buds mature into lovely, luscious avocados...

So even though two smallish avocados may not seem like much of an accomplishment, we were very pleased with our harvest, and standing at the kitchen counter, we slowly savored every nutty, buttery bite....

This week I'll be passing the plate around at

Victorian Decorating

Starting to experiment with decorating ideas using Victorian die cuts - different ways to display and enjoy them outside of the scrapbook and collecting box.
Because they are so detailed and small I thought grouping them on a shelf might have more of an impact.

The matching frames help to tie it all together....
