Completely Random
1. I started decorating for Easter. At a standstill right now because I need to go to the nursery to buy some fresh potted flowers to bring indoors. Maybe a trip to the florist too. And See's Candy shop.
2. Most of my herb pots have been planted. I'm growing cilantro, basil, flat leaf parsley, sage, rosemary, chives, mint, lavender and thyme. They are so much cheaper to grow than to buy at the market. We also planted a vegetable garden but it's too early to photograph. Teeny, tiny little plants right now.
3. I bought two of these Montclair Paisley Pillows from Pottery Barn and I can't decide if I love them or hate them. My sister says to keep them. I think the problem is I need to recover my sofa or completely get rid of it. I feel like I'm putting lipstick on a pig. I think Craigslist will have a new item very soon.
4. On occasion I really love washing dishes by hand. I love the piping hot sudsy water, carefully scrubbing them inside and out and laying them in the sunlight on a fresh clean towel. I found these small glass mugs at the flea market this weekend. I'm going to use them at Easter for fresh squeezed lemonade.
5. I could eat all of these in one day. I won't. But I could if I wanted to. We actually fight over them in our house like they're the last piece of pie. I love me some Cuties!
6. A ton of shopping has been going on. I've been stocking up on antiques for my spring shows. It's going to be very hard to sell some of this. I may need therapy for separation anxiety.
7. Bella is going to need a new nickname. I can't decide on "The Chicken Wrangler" or "The Chicken Whisperer". She is unbelievably friendly with our chicks. They love her and run to see her when she comes to play. They scoot under her belly like she's a mother chicken and follow her around the pen. Absolutely adorable I tell you.
Well, that about covers my random blathering. I hope all of you are having a great week! Thanks so much for dropping by. Chat soon! H.

Simply adorable that Bella is the Mom to those chicks. How precious is that? I totally get the separation anxiety of selling what you have found. Sometimes you just can’t do it, I tell ya.
I am simply head over heels for the ironstone creamer and sugar! The red bird design is wonderful.
Love all your snipets of spring.

I’m so envious that you’ve begun your planting ~ I’m a several weeks away. I did however get our green house out.

I tried emailing this to you and it bounced back to me.
Hi Heather, I talked to Ki on Sunday and she said you were coming down to Texas. When and where will you be. I’m headed out to round top and warrenton on Thu and Fri of this week. My schedule mandated I go this week instead of next week. I figure you’ll probably be out there next week since Marberger will be open then.
Just checking.

I love it that I can visit your blog and count on seeing some great pics. Thanks for sharing!
I bought those same pillow covers! I have them on my bed, and I can’t decide what I think about them either. The colors are right so they stay for now. I absolutely love the sugar and creamer with the birds! If you are selling I would be buying! 🙂

Awww! The chicks think Bella is their Mom! 🙂 To early to pot plants for outside here, but I am looking forward to doing so. Would love to have some See’s candy. The last time I had it, I lived in AZ. Wonderful!
I am thinking that I remember a mention sometime of you living in the Phx area. If so, I would love to know where you go to the flea market. I’m from Tucson and travel up there fairly often. Thanks!
The Chicken Wisperer! lol very funny! Fantastic post! I love all your finds! I too love to wash dishes..I love to feel hot water on my hands and soapy suds..and the best part..all clean!
Bella with the chicks is so darn cute!
I would love to see more of your home. I love your decorating style.

Hi Heather, As always your pictures are so beautiful and inspiring! And I had to chuckle about ‘putting lipstick on a pig’ because I tried the same thing with our den couch. And adorable and loving Bella is the sweetest thing. Those chicks are so lucky to have her to snuggle with. Cute! Trina
Lovely photos! I couldn’t part with any of those dishes myself! Have a wonderful day!
Wonderful random photos! My favorite is the ‘chicken whisperer’ at the end! Cute!
That is SO adorable about your sweet Bella and the chicks. I vote for “whisperer” over “wrangler”. 🙂 Cute, cute!
Good to see your herbs so fresh looking. Willbe some time before they are growing well here, especially things like Parsley.
Keep the Pillows, Slipcover the Sofa! Cuties are the best ever…………..Bella is sweet, how cute is that! Cheers~Kim
OUCH! I have that same couch 😉 I think the pillows look goregous on it.
I love everything you do, so the pillows are great, as are the decorations etc.
Can’t wait to see what you bring to Nipomo!
Looking forward to it,
Rosemary
I was just on Craigslist for my area! LOL! I wish you lived close, I’d buy your piggy couch!
Awwww….I just love Bella & the chicks!! What a lovely blog you have…nice to meet you.
Kare
hmmmm. that white measuring pitcher? You wouldn’t be interested in shipping that to me would you??? If so how much is it???? I want one of those sooooooo bad!!!
Random but beautiful !!! I love the pillows.
Lovely post Heather gosh the chickens have grown! I got my copy of the magazine sent out to me from Margaret I love it you all did a great job I wanted to hop on a plane after I finished reading so I could explore all your fabulous flea markets!
Heather, I love your random thoughts and it also would be very hard for me to part with your those goodies if they were mine!!! Also, what a great little sitter for your chicks!!! He is wonderful!
Hugs,
YVette

love the glasses! love the potted herbs! and love that sweet little dog! thanks for sharing!
total gorgeousness! I love the blue velvet box, and your dog is the sweetest! xo natalea
Love that your chicks and pup get along so well!
So jealous you are able to plant outside already. I’m still coaxing seedlings in the basement and more than a month away for actual garden planting. I’ll have to live vicariously through you.
Who would have thought a dog would like chicks. Very sweet.
Does Bella think she is a chicken? Will she do the chicken dance? Keep us posted!
Any chance you could video the adorable Bella with the sweetest chicks? I know seeing the interaction would simply make my day!!!
Thanks,
Karin
I have some mugs identical to those, and I would love some more. Found them at the local thrift store. So cute the dog and chicks. Jackie
