On a recent Nature Walk I went wandering off the path and found this wonderful moss covered pine tree trunk. I imagine that it must have fallen some time ago. Did it make a noise? Who’s to say! What I can say is that it is quite lovely and I always find moss to be such a calming plant. Don’t you?

The flowers are in bloom and there’s color everywhere! I was recently wandering around a lovely public garden and found these two little flowers on a wooden bench. After photographing them I kept wandering down the garden path. When I came back a little later, they were gone – probably picked up and tucked away in the hair of whatever child left them there, not a bad fate for such pretty little flowers.

Spring is officially here and while the weather may not have caught up to the news everywhere, it is certainly peeking its head out here in Florida. I found these little purple flowers growing along a local lakeshore. The early morning sun was just starting to shine and there was a bit of a breeze that kept blowing the flowers out of focus. After a minute or two, the wind cooperated and I was able to snap this picture and share a bit of spring with you.

This little patch of clovers is actually known as Pink Wood Sorrel (Oxalis debilis) and is considered a non-native Florida plant. Native or not, it sure is hard to dislike something that looks so lush and calming covered in little raindrops from an afternoon sprinkle. I took this on a trip to Nehrling Gardens and noticed these little guys off to the side of a white, wooden staircase that leads into the gardens. From the gardens to your home, these little guys can be your indoor bit of green for the month!

The wintering birds are back! Of course, we always have birds here in Florida but his time of year the variety and quantity increases as birds, trying to escape the cold northern climates, arrive in massive flocks.
When I was a kid living up north, the first sign of Spring was the arrival of the cardinals. The moment you saw the red little birds flitting about in the trees was the moment that you knew warmer days were coming soon. Now, the arrival of the cardinals (along with many of their northern birdie friends) signals the beginning of Winter. I know that colder days are just around the corner. I think these red-winged blackbirds know it too. There are a lot more of them lately and I suspect they are just visiting us for our warm winter weather.
May you have a wonderful January!

There’s one weekend left before Christmas and the gift-wrapping has commenced. The dining room table is now covered in gift-wrap paper, tags, strings, and dangly things. I’m wrapping all of my gifts in potato-stamped kraft paper this year, so I made two different colored gift tags to coordinate with it: a classic red and green, and a slightly less traditional red and slate blue. If you’re looking for some fun gift tags, you can grab both colors from the Download Gallery. I printed my tags on bright white 65 lb. paper. Enjoy!
This year Thanksgiving will be at my house and I’m expecting a big group of family and friends. I’ve been having so much fun planning the decorations and appetizers (that’s what I’m in charge of…I wonder why they didn’t put the vegetarian in charge of the main course??) that I wanted to share the fun with all of you! I created a few menu cards and place cards that double as dish labels for potluck-style dinners. You can download any of the designs below in the Download Gallery for free.
Each file is blank so you can add your own information. The full-size menu display and the individual menu cards are available in a dark chocolate brown color. The place cards/dish labels are available in your choice of coordinating colors: dark chocolate brown, forest green, mustard, burnt orange, rust, and teal. You can go with all of the same color or mix and match, just have fun with it.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Fan of acorns? Checkout these matching acorn notecards.
I decided that after a year of using scrap paper bits to fill my gratitude jar, I’d like some special little notecards. I’ve been designing some table place cards for Thanksgiving and thought the acorn picture would be a perfect fit for these little cards. I finished the design by putting my favorite gratitude prompt at the top in a rich chocolate-brown color. Now that I’m looking at them, I bet these could also double as little thank-you cards – bonus!
I printed the cards above on a medium-weight textured card stock. If you’d like to print your own, you can download an 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of these notecards from the Download Gallery for free. If you would prefer to order the cards, you can get a set of 31 cards, printed on the textured cardstock shown above, for $6 (includes shipping) in The Normal Girl Shop.
