It’s elderflower season! One of my favorite plant allie’s to play with. I use the flower in skin care, cough syrup, simple syrups, cordial, and champagne. I share recipes and formulas on my blog. Simply search elderflower in the search bar. Don’t pick all the flowers or you won’t get any berries and be sure to leave some for the bees and other pollinators.

New drop over at my space within ! Tea towels dyed with mugwort or forsythia, tulip petals, and turkey tail mushrooms. Bath salts in 2 scents: chamomile or lavender; and an extremely small batch of face serum. I loved working on this small collection in between seed starting, garden prep, and a home reno that has taken any extra bandwidth my brain has had over the last 2 months. Getting these pockets of creativity has been a blessing and I’m happy to share them with you.

It’s Iris season! Over the years I have captured the Iris collection at and now my own collection that continues to grow with the addition of new specimens this year. I just love the color combos and how the color blends together. Do you love Iris?

Most images are available through my stock partner and would make beautiful art for your home.

A few scenes from my morning walks. We got a new puppy in March and we’ve been walking to the river each morning to get some of her energy out. With views like this I can’t complain plus it’s been helping me get all my steps in.

The hummingbird feeders are all up and the visitors have started coming in! Last year I became slightly obsessed with the hummers and had a vision in my mind for a chandelier feeder. I scored this chandelier for free on marketplace, took out the guts and glued on the bases for the feeders and added a few solar lights. I can’t wait to watch them all from the windows again this season!
