~ My Willow Tree ~

Gosh I love this tree! When we think about how much we want to move out of this subdivision, I glance out my back door and windows at this wonderful willow tree and think how could I leave her? I planted her when she was just a baby! I wanted to share with you all what she looked like when we brought her home from the nursery, she was so little she fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord! Well we did have to leave the trunk open and tied down as her top wouldn't quite fit all the way in. That was in the spring of 2003. I had to load the picture into my software and figure out how to draw a circle around her so you could see her. Please note, this was the backyard of a newly constructed house! Ah yes the joys of new construction, well that was 6 years ago.

Now look at her! I took this picture just this evening! Isn't she grand?

I have been busy adding new wares to my web shoppe so I haven't been able to concentrate on my blog lately but as of now I'm waiting on a couple straggling in orders and I'll be done until next month! I'm so happy to have been able to place an order with one of the last surviving textile mills in the U.S. still family run, I love their textiles! I am hoping to add more of their items to increase my selection. Plus, just today I placed an order with some folks who make the most wonderful hand-forged iron pieces and I can't wait until those items come in next month!

Well that's all for now....until next time my friends!
