The second was peonies. Is there any flower that screams "spring abundance!" like a big peony bloom? I always say I will buy them in spades when they're in season, then the cost pushes me away. <br /><br />I also have a dozen roses in full blooom sitting at my desk at work in a mint julep cup. They brighten my day every time I look at them. <br /><br />Love the goldfish vase, by the way.

So I don't think there's any harm in going a little "crazy" for flowers. Since they are loved by me maybe I'm just trying to justify my addiction to them. Oh well, as I said above, it could be worse! Down here in Alabama our peonies have played out, but oh, we so enjoyed them while they were here! The scent, sheer joy! Yours are lovely, isn't that mum just wild looking?

I have been following (or lurking) your ...Hi there. I have been following (or lurking) your blog for a while and just love it! I live in the Raleigh area and have an idea that you may be interested in. THIS IS NOT A SALES PITCH AND THERE ARE NO STRINGS! There is an artist who lives in Asheville, and I think also has a place in or near Wilmington. She painted portraits of my children recently and asked me to rep her. We are new to this area, and I'm just not connected enough nor do I enjoy selling anything. Even though I feel her portraits are gorgeous and sell themselves. I did recently have a friend who used her. For referring her, I received a nice little payment (30%) which I really didn't expect. The artist is the stereotypical artist (head in the clouds) but is such a wonderful and talented person. I think she is struggling for work and has no interest or skill in marketing. I would be happy to send you information on her and pictures of the portraits she has done for me. She just needs some way to get the word out and you in turn could profit from it. Let me know if you're interested. (for some reason my Google account password isn't working, so I'm sending as "anonymous."
