have a simple…and…beautiful week
simple…design
Month: April 2016
yellow…it’s such a cheery color
herb gardens
herbs…easy to grow
BASIL is the symbol of love and devotion; annual plant that grows best in full sun…pinch flowers off as soon as you see them…makes scrumptious pesto
ROSEMARY for remembrance. Rosemary likes the sun…a tender perennial so needs to be taken inside in winter.
CHIVES…a perennial…requires full sun or part shade…pull the flowers out by bottom of touch stem before they go to seed…delicious in salads, on sandwiches, in cream cheese
THYME…the herb of courage…a hardy perennial that loves full sun and fairly dry soil…a little goes a long way in a variety of dishes…make a beautiful wreath for hanging on a hook, door, fence gate
CILANTRO…an annual…the fresh leaves are called cilantro but the seeds are called coriander…great in salsa and salads
MINT for virtue…likes partial shade…a hardy perennial that can take over a garden so best kept in a pot…mint adds a cool, refreshing flavor to many foods and iced drinks
something sweet for a Spring garden table…a vintage white ironstone pitcher with a bouquet of mint and peonies
I’m so excited it’s SPRING…
white
WHITE if you want to freshen and refresh…
to keep white from feeling stark, mix it with creamy tones and let peeling-paint furnishings ground the room with the patina of age
shades of white, cream, natural colors enlarge the sense of space…creating a serene simplicity in a room
to add a little color…tangerines in an old white wood bucket for texture and color…floppy pink tulips in a mason jar sitting on a white ironstone tray…zinc seed pots with rosemary on your windowsills…add color with throws, pillows, rugs…let your creativity run wild
can you guess what my favorite color is?
