Please don't tease me.

It seems as though winter just doesn't want to leave. Just when I began to see the grass turning a tint of green and the bulbs popping up through the ground, along comes yet another snow storm. If it wasn't for finding these flower garlands at Middleburg Folk Art Studios, I'm not sure I could handle the fact that I won't see the flowers blooming in my yard for quite some time still. These lovely hand painted garlands are the perfect way to bring some long lasting spring cheer into your home. Hang just about anywhere & what a perfect way to decorate for your next party. Everyone will be asking where in the world you found such gorgeous Hydrangeas in the winter:)

    How do I love thee - I just can't count the ways. Your folk art pieces are wonderful! All of the flower garlands, the squirrels, the pretty flower garden, the pink pig. I would love anything. And, my Dad (95) is in a nursing home. Mom always had gardens of all kinds of flowers. Now, life is pretty dull. Garlands of flowers at his window would certainly brighten up his view.
