This metal Antique Bloom wreath from Terrain is absolute perfection...

Golden, whimsical and will only get better with age..

Sounds like someone I know..

Just in case you need a bit more sunshine...

Terrain has these FABULOUS Gilded Floating Candles..

Amarylis...To Force or Not to Force...

Every Chistmas my parents lovingly bring us an Amaryllis plant. 

Watching it emerge every day from stalk to flower has been shear delight for the Monster and I.

Back in November, Terrain had written an AMAZING post about forced bulb wreaths using Amaryllis bulbs.

Well, apparently I tucked that post away until I realized that this is the perfect time of year to create them.

Don't toss away those lovely branch wreaths from the holidays...

Re-use them!!

It's rather simple really...

Purchase some high quality bulbs like the ones at White Flower Farm

Follow the directions on Terrain's post

and

in 4-6 weeks you'll have some blooms to chase the Winter blues away!

Up at the Farm....

Image by Heather Bullard

This morning, a couple chicks and I, Miss Jessie from Gourmet Galley and the fabulous Heidi H, got to head "up to the farm" on the most glorious of glorious spring days...

Yup..you heard me right..."up to the farm" as the farm, 

Tyrone Farm, is "up" in Pomfret, Connecticut.

We were "up" doing a little site visit for our farm couple, Eleanor & Matt, whose wedding day is rapidly approaching...

So I have a little farm on the brain these days and found a few items to bring farm to the table...

(I think Miss Eleanor needs to add these lovelies to her registry)

1. Cow Chalkboard Place Card Holders at Williams-Sonoma

2. Milk Bottle Measuring Cups at Anthropologie

3. Farmhouse Platter at Terrain

4. Cow Bell at Terrain

5. Piglet Cutting Board at Terrain

6. Rooster series sauce Dishes at Lille Shop

7. Farm Anatomy Book at Terrain

8. Gate Sign at Terrain

9. Berry Boxes at Blank

Speaking of Farms.....

My favorite of all farms, Terra Firma, just made it into the 

New York Times....

Read Here!

It couldn't be more deserving to the most amazing couple I know,

Bri & Ethan!

Miss Bri has been very very busy with her soap company,Faire Ivy and let me tell you...

 they are FABULOUS!

She just handed me a giant bag full of at least 12 different types of soaps...

which really comes in handy while scrubbing the Monster clean after a long day at the farm!

a little glitter to start your week......

I am in LOVE with these vintage style ornaments at Terrain.
