I found this lovely planter at a thrift store.
Such a sweet pair.
This is $12.00 worth of spring flowers from my favorite booth at the farmer’s market.

I woke up yesterday morning to maple tree buds all over my car.
What a dream, this early early early spring….
An early garage sale here in Michigan is usually at the start of May. But we found several this weekend. We lucked on a big collection of gorgeous mid-century Jazz lps. We have been working our way through them, listening all weekend.
A couple of hard to come by 10 inch lps with famous covers designed by David Stone Martin. We are just now listening to the Charlie Parker and it is pretty clean, maybe a little better when its been dusted properly.
We are huge fans of Miles. This record has scuffs, so not the best find. But it is a good day when we find something not already in my husband’s collection, which is pretty substantial. And I love this cover.
Ouch! What a cover! The original owners of these lps frequented Detroit’s famous Bakers Keyboard Lounge, which is the world’s oldest jazz club, in its mid-century hey dey.
This is some sort of compilation.

We have been having such amazing warm and sunny weather and now its Spring. I don’t think today was the warmest Vernal Equinox ever, but I believe we tied a record dating back to 1915. The trees and flowers have been fooled into blooming a month early. Everyone I know has Spring fever. I am in the mood for plants and witty planters and I bought some today at an Aunt Sally’s
Also this rather fantastic cotton fabric
What is your opinion of this stool? I think it might have been used for milking, but it is so beautifully designed.. and it fits very nicely in the smallest corners.
We will be selling this soon. Pelota table light, 1970. It is Italian.
This book
has lovely drawings. This is exactly a picture of me.
I especially love this. I know exactly what this feels like
I am watching this.

It was wet and dark today, with winds. The street outside our window had turned to mud when I got home.
Dark weather and another sad day. These were a gift I gave my mother when I was a teenager from a trip to New York. I bought them in Chinatown.
They are mine now. (Please forgive the dark photos. There was not much light.)
I brought home some pretty books to share, from that time when all children’s books seemed to be little packages of art.
On this next page a day like today.
This book because in my head I think that winter is over
This is a nice bear
I love Mary Poppins. It is a book full of lovely writing to keep inside your head. Mary was very plain yet she was very pleased with herself when she saw her reflection. I like that about her.
This is my best rather beaten copy. It is an American 1st edition without the dust jacket. A surprise on my birthday one year.
It was a small gift but is still one of my favorites.
