Finding Your Tribe 2

It a wonderful when you find your people.
Years ago, I read an article in the
Orange County Register about a
woman named Mary Lou Heard.
Mary Lou had opened a tiny nursery
in Westminster.   The nursery was
tucked away on a hidden street.
Like many treasures, you'd never find the location
if you weren't specifically seeking it.

Mary Lou has been gone for a number of years
now, but she started something special.  Before
Annie's Annuals, another special place, Mary Lou
made cottage garden plants available.  Perennials
to make your English Garden taste buds salivate.
Even Tasha Tudor would envy the selection.

Today, on the original location of Heard's Country Gardens
resides Heavenly Vintage Nursery.  The property
has recently been sold and the nursery will be hopefully
find a new location.  In the mean time, please support
this treasure by stopping by to purchase your own slice
of heaven.  The nursery has a website and is on
Facebook, where you can find regular updates
on their status.

Finding your Tribe 1

The glory of finding your tribe.

Recently, I found
Rice (pronounced like Reesa) Freeman-Zachery
watch this video on felting and this video of
frequently asked questions.  Rice's FAQ video

During a recent excavation mission, a
visit to a thrift store, we found this brand
new checked board cake pan.  Sadly, excavation
missions have been few and far between
because of all the Discardia missions.

Dropping off at charity shops but
no allowance for the hunt.
The beginning of the calendar
year is a very good time to hunt because
other ambitious families are also
tidying up their homes after the holidays.
