A Trip to the Greenhouse

It's finally starting to feel like Spring around here, so a trip to our favorite garden center was in order this afternoon.

It' still a little too early to plant annuals, but it's so nice to be in the warm humid environment of the big greenhouses with the sweet smell the of the flowers and plants.

 

And the best part was, the rows and rows of gorgeous hanging baskets, colorful coleus, interesting succulents and beautiful tropical blooms did inspire me to get some more work done in my own garden and yard!

 

 

Wholesale Flower Brooches

I decided to offer limited wholesale quantities of my flower brooches, available in my Etsy shop.

 This grouping of 10 assorted brooches is the first batch, all in jewel tones.

 

 I hope to soon have available another grouping, all in Spring colors.

 

I had these cards made, in postcard size, to be included with my wholesale orders. They have a cute button and thread illustration, since each of my flowers is hand cut and hand sewn, many with button centers. I ordered these from Vistaprint.

 

 I just punched two holes in each card to allow the brooch to be "pinned" to the card.

 

The back of each card includes info about the recycled nature of all my FeltSewGood products. I also included my Etsy shop and blog web addresses.

 

I usually make tags for all my handbags and zip pouches from business cards with jute hangars. I thought these postcards were a nice way to show off the flowers.

 

Do you make your own tags or labels? Or do you purchase or custom order your labels?

 

 

Welcome Spring!

It's been so warm so early this Spring, flowering bulbs are blooming and trees are flowering several weeks earlier than usual. Even though it was a very mild winter here in Central Indiana, spring is a welcome sight!

My husband and I will be enjoying a few hours tomorrow, Saturday March 24, at a favorite garden center, Avon Gardens. As Randelli's Gourmet Pizza, we will be passing out pizza samples from 12 noon to 2 pm. to celebrate their Spring Opening.

We're hoping for dry weather and lots of potential new customers to try our pizza!

If you happen to be in Avon, Indiana tomorrow, please stop by! Otherwise I hope you get to enjoy a beautiful spring Saturday.

Let's Go Outside!

It was a weekend of unusally warm weather here in central Indiana. Fresh green foliage is unfolding everywhere and the sights and sounds of Spring beckon us outside!

The leaves are unfolding on all the trees.


The blooming trees are fragrant.


Bleeding heart, one of my favorite spring flowers.


This frog was enjoying the warm sunshine.

The hostas and ferns are lush and green once again.
