PLEASE FORGIVE ME.....

Hi All....
I've received many emails wondering  if I've disappeared from the face of the earth....  The answer is no.  I'm still here, just crazy busy.
My life has been a world wind of change since I last posted (hint hint .... a new love).  We had a busy spring at the store, which then led to a pretty quiet summer.  Quiet is good sometimes.   It gave me a chance to spend some lazy days in the garden at home.  Summer all too quickly came to an end, which then led to the glorious planning of my son, Tim and lovely new daughter in law, Lara's,  wedding on September 12.  You may view the photos on Facebook, if you wish.
So here we are again.... another holiday season approaching.  Things are getting busy at the store once again,  as it usually does at this time of year.   
Miss you all...... I promise to be a better blogger, and I look forward to sharing all of the upcoming holiday festivities with you again once again.... that is...  if you all forgive me!

I'M BACK.....

Hello Dear Blogging Friends....

This past month has been a whirlwind of events, happenings and some wonderful and unexpected surprises.... I can barely catch my breath. The good news is that our Spring Event at Meadowsweet was a huge success.  In the coming days,  I will post photos of how a landscape design transformed our parking lot into an outdoor living area/garden.... all for one weekend! It was truly amazing.... I tried to convince them to leave it...it was so beautiful.  But, as of this morning our old parking lot was turned back to its original form, and looked as if nothing had ever happened there.  Even the postman thought he was seeing things.... It was amazing!  

And, remember my sleeping tulip bulbs.... well they have exploded into a river of pink!  I will share those photos as well!

Just need a little time to regroup!  I have so much I want to share with you all....

SENDING YOU FLOWERS.....


DEAR FRIENDS....
I didn't want you to think I had forgotten you.... I have been up to my ears in preparation for our Spring Event at the store.
So.... I'm sending this huge bouquet out to all of you and wishing you 
a beautiful weekend!

I promise, I will try to be a better blogger soon.
Oh, if only there were more hours in a day!

A FACELIFT......

We have been busy little bees here at the store, as we prepare for an event on May 2 and 3 when we will partner with a local landscape design firm and throw what we have entitled " A Spring Swing".  Our parking lot will be transformed into a summer garden and all are invited.  So if you are in the Northport area drop by and say hello!

 Over the past few months, Meadowsweet has undergone a bit of a facelift.  She has been freshly painted in a rich Buttercream, and a very lively Spring Green!  In addition, she has undergone some renovation with a new storage room added off the back.  All the while we have been open for business.  Yikes!
From time to time, I post pictures of various items in the store, and some of you have emailed me requesting to see what the inside looks like.  Well.... here she is with her new do!

Next phase....
Meadowsweet's new little sister will undergo major reconstruction later in the season.
She did receive some landscape work last fall just to lift her spirits a bit!

Stay tuned.... I will post photos as she undergoes her transition.
