Look at these! I found them this week whilst shopping for pansies at a
local garden center. They are little gift enclosures and were in a display
by the cash register as I checked out.
Naturally, being the bird lover I am, and one always looking for beautiful
illustrations. . . . . . these came home with me!
They are blank for your salutation or short message - such as I've
added here below - and even have a tiny envelope included.
I have found many really adorable Nature-inspired things in the gift
departments of garden centers, and now, with the Christmas season
looming, I will soon be checking these shops for more pretties.
They usually hold a 'Holiday Open House' with sales and good buys
during mid-November, so a chance to purchase more expensive items
at a discount!
I also brought home plenty of pansies and violas from the garden center.
Yesterday I planted up several large pots with 100 tulips. Topped them with
a mix of large-flowered pansies and tiny sweet violas for winter color, and which
hopefully will also keep the squirrels from digging out the tulip bulbs.
Yes, it's already November - and for me October flew by in a blur.
My BIG birthday seemed to last for a couple of weeks rather than just a
day of my favorite month, and every day was full of good things.
I have a lot of catch-up to do with all my blog friends - will be back with
you soon now Blogger is behaving.
Are you planting Spring bulbs now the weather is cooling?
