A Note from the Editor....
Happy May everyone! It has been a “funny” last couple of months weather wise, but spring is finally here and I couldn’t be more excited. We are true New Englanders and we got to experience the meaning of the saying “If you don’t like the weather in New England....
wait a minute”. The weather sure did keep changing back and forth between flip flops and snow boots, but spring
has finally sprung and I am loving it. During May and June I love to get outside and get the yard cleaned up, the pool opened and the garden decor out (let’s be honest.....Doug does most of this not me). I like to use my outdoor space both at the shop and my home as an extension and added space for decorating. Seasonal items such as metal garden art, tobacco lath benches, handmade bee skeps, antique washtubs, Americana buntings and flags, all come out to play and really make the yard and porch areas feel like a getaway for me. We will get the gazebo setup and there is nothing I enjoy more then taking my cup of coffee out and enjoying the first minutes of morning listening to nature and soaking up the spring breeze and the Vitamin D. Spring always goes so quickly and before we know it the kiddos will be out of school for the summer and busy bees we will be. Whatever it is that you most like to do during spring, remember to take time each day and appreciate your surroundings and this journey we are all on.
