HAPPY SPRING!!!Botanical Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04426384706435699531noreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336530822984848340.post-80936601806231651582010-03-12T09:34:00.000-08:002010-03-12T09:34:54.484-08:00Spring time in the Pacific NorthwestI'm so excited that Spring has decided to arrive a little early this year and as far as I'm concerned the earlier the better! We have what is considered to be a temperate climate here in Portland, Oregon. We enjoy (don't always use this adjective) our fair share of rain during the winter and spring months, but of course this is why we have such lush green vegetation all around us. Because of our climate we can grow a huge variety of plants, which is certainly right up my alley!<br />
<br />
When I moved to my current house, I created a good size flower bed just outside my studio window, where I am able to view it perfectly. I have a nice mix of perennial flowers and herbs and I plug in some flowering annuals every year as well. Currently in full bloom, there are muscari or grape hyacinth, daffodils, blue hyacinth, snow drops, pansies and primroses. I'm just so thrilled to once again be able to look out my window and see some color again. Later this month I will be attending the Woodburn tulip festival, where many acres of various tulips will be in full bloom, it is truly spectacular!! The pictures below were taken there and at Skagit valley.<br />

So many of us celebrate V-Day in one way or another, though it does seem that many have mixed feelings about it, depending upon whether or not they have a sweetheart. Well I say fooey on that, you don't need to have a sweetie to revel in the magic of the day.<br />
When I was a child I use to make hand painted valentine cards and give them to my family and friends. I remember the utter joy I had creating them and then seeing people light up when they received them. To this day I still send out valentine cards to family and friends and in this way I am sending my love out to those I love and care about, not just to my sweetheart.<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day"></a> <br />
With all of these thoughts of love in mind, I am also reminded of compassion and the importance of practicing this daily. I would like to take this opportunity to say that my heart goes out to the people of Haiti during this time of unimaginable sadness. I believe it is so important for people around the world to help the people in Haiti and now is the time to do so. Below is a list of stellar relief organizations where you can make donations. If you have already done so, the people of Haiti thank you!<br />

The leaves are just starting to change and there is now a bit of a chill in the air, along with the site of local apple trees laden with apples.<br />
It's such a great time of year, though I do find it to be bittersweet, knowing that we will be going into our rainy season before too long. Still I am embracing the fall and plan to do some decorating this week! <br />
Here are a few ideas that I've come up with for easy and inexpensive Fall decorating:<br />
<br />
Candles are always a must for this time of year, I like to use a variety of pillar candles, the apple, spice or pumpkin scented are perfect at this time. I place them on plates or tray and then surround them with moss, pine cones,pods cinnamon sticks, mini pumpkins or other fruit. This really makes for a gorgeous, fragrant display!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wreaths are another favorite of mine, last Spring toward the end of the blooming season I cut back my hydrangea bush and dried the blossoms to be used in bouquets and a wreath. All you need for this wreath is a grapevine wreath, dried hydrangea blossoms and a hot glue gun. You simply just glue the hydrangea stems all the way around the wreath and you're done. It can be displayed on your wall or a door.<br />
<br />
Pumpkins and gourds, always fun and festive! I like to buy a few in different sizes, the smaller ones to be used as a table display, along with a colorful table runner and the larger ones for the front entryway display.<br />
<br />
Pillow and throws will help spice up any room, it's fun to add a nice fall colored throw to your couch along with a couple of seasonal throw pillows, this is really an inexpensive way to make a quick and beautiful change to your room.<br />

Fun, fun, fun are three words that come to mind. I just went on a mini vacation there for 3 days. I rode the train, it's a quick 3.5 hour trip from Portland to Seattle. The train depot in Seattle is close to the heart of downtown, so very convenient if you're staying in the downtown area.<br />All of the pictures here were taken at Pike Place market, which is a world class farmers & artisans market. This fabulous market boasts a myriad of delights, including, the freshest seafood you can buy, bakeries, coffee shops galore, rows and rows of fresh produce, herbs and flowers, along with artisan crafts from A-Z!<br />If you are in Seattle, this place is really a must see, and please allow yourself at least 4 hours to really explore, as this market is huge!<br />I have had an ongoing fantasy about renting a place near this market just for the summer, so that I might immerse myself in the colorful, eclectic world that is Pike place market!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjqwuzZhU8I/AAAAAAAAAec/QL4kY9yWnJ4/s1600-h/images.jpg+pike+place.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 83px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjqwuzZhU8I/AAAAAAAAAec/QL4kY9yWnJ4/s320/images.jpg+pike+place.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348781825573606338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjqwlYCUp3I/AAAAAAAAAeU/j9jeeYWmD_E/s1600-h/images.jpg+pike+fish.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 109px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjqwlYCUp3I/AAAAAAAAAeU/j9jeeYWmD_E/s320/images.jpg+pike+fish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348781663609726834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/Sjqu6edVQzI/AAAAAAAAAeM/nhTk7rbbi3w/s1600-h/IMG_0928.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/Sjqu6edVQzI/AAAAAAAAAeM/nhTk7rbbi3w/s320/IMG_0928.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348779827087622962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/Sjqurt7xSAI/AAAAAAAAAeE/eaDQ1oNic4w/s1600-h/IMG_0925.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/Sjqurt7xSAI/AAAAAAAAAeE/eaDQ1oNic4w/s320/IMG_0925.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348779573543782402" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjqubmxUJ1I/AAAAAAAAAd8/Egfy6Bso8yE/s1600-h/IMG_0922.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjqubmxUJ1I/AAAAAAAAAd8/Egfy6Bso8yE/s320/IMG_0922.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348779296742975314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjquN7W2DZI/AAAAAAAAAd0/-lkzKMYhjTU/s1600-h/IMG_0919.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjquN7W2DZI/AAAAAAAAAd0/-lkzKMYhjTU/s320/IMG_0919.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348779061750926738" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjquIm6wEXI/AAAAAAAAAds/1GihqbVSZjQ/s1600-h/IMG_0923.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjquIm6wEXI/AAAAAAAAAds/1GihqbVSZjQ/s320/IMG_0923.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348778970365038962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjquAPCXjGI/AAAAAAAAAdk/_WGoN-_vIlA/s1600-h/IMG_0913.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/SjquAPCXjGI/AAAAAAAAAdk/_WGoN-_vIlA/s320/IMG_0913.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348778826515582050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/Sjqtlfgu9wI/AAAAAAAAAdc/7sF8JEqt2A4/s1600-h/IMG_0910.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnQVTiVUBRI/Sjqtlfgu9wI/AAAAAAAAAdc/7sF8JEqt2A4/s320/IMG_0910.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348778367081445122" /></a>Botanical Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04426384706435699531noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336530822984848340.post-23351316366547872792009-06-15T09:55:00.000-07:002009-06-15T10:06:49.355-07:00Giveaway & Feature on Rainbowswirlz blog!!Hi all here is another fun giveaway along with some pics and a little write up about my daily routine.
