I am celebrating my 200th post today!
I am constantly amazed at how rewarding this blog journey has been.
I have "met" so many wonderful people, found a new way to stay in touch with friends and family near and far, and found creativity and inspiration beyond belief.
In honor of my 200th post I wanted to share these placemats I made yesterday.
I will be visiting family and friends in California next week. I am looking forward to seeing my dear friend while I am there. She shares my passion for flowers and gardening. We have spent some very special time in some beautiful gardens.
These will be a little gift for her.....a reminder of our shared passion and the wonderful friendship.
The gate graphic is from my wonderful friend Karen at The Graphics Fairy.
I added some handpainted terra cotta pots filled with the magic of spring flowers.
I am definitely not a painter, but I like the way my simple artwork added to the majestic old gate.
