Morning Walk

I love to go walking in the woods around 9 in the morning.  By then I will have made the soap for the day, try to answer all the emails and set up the orders to pack up for the mail drop.  It’s usually peaceful as all the neighbors have left for work and the birds are still chirpping

One of the flowers blooming right now are the spiderworts.  I wildcraft these pretty blue flowers and use them in  pocket mirrors and coasters.  I think Spiderworts are so pretty and signal summer is on it’s way.  They only bloom for about a month here so I have to make sure I enjoy them while they are here.

Cute Stationary

I should use the professional looking stationary for Botanical Earth when writing customers notes, but I just love the designs of Nut and Bee’s Sprout Sprout.  And now, Annette has come up with an adorable new collection…so get ready to see the cute little Bluebirds and Windflowers – I just placed an order this afternoon.  The design is brand new along with several other adorably cute new characters that you can see on her site, Nut and Bee.  Shipping is really fast too even though she’s in New Zealand and I’m here in the US.

It just dawned on me, if you have kids going off to school, the Letter Sets would be perfect hints to write home….or to send thank you notes, or do people do that any more with cellphones?  They should because there’s nothing is better than a handwritten note on original indie art work.
