I bet it doesn't feel like 20 years. If my mother would have seen the leaf roses, she would have been off on another crafting adventure, what a wonderful idea! I'm going to have to try it myself. They are beautiful. I love the woodwork in your home, all too often when watching home makeovers, the renovators will paint quarter-sawn oak black or white (or chartreuse) and I want to cry. I am happy you have lots of space, what a joy that must be. Winter hasn't hit here yet, I'm amazed, but happy about that, too. Still so much work to do here. I will be spending tonight catching up on the other posts I've missed, always and ever a joy to visit. :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-82119524911574881922017-11-07T07:09:21.344-08:002017-11-07T07:09:21.344-08:00The woman who was buying on in the store said that...The woman who was buying on in the store said that she simply slices it in half and eats it with a spoon. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-73973748062277698532017-11-07T07:08:33.023-08:002017-11-07T07:08:33.023-08:00Because of where we live, we find all sorts of del...Because of where we live, we find all sorts of delightful and not so nice gifts.

It was the beauty of the fruit that made me buy it and I'm still enjoying looking at it. They come from the plant that's used as the base of the grafted mutant fluorescent cacti. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-7189134111037769302017-11-07T03:39:01.184-08:002017-11-07T03:39:01.184-08:00This refurbished vase full makes me wonder where y...This refurbished vase full makes me wonder where you store such things.
