Miss Kim Ushers in Summer
If the little lilac tree (aka Miss Kim) at garden center is in bloom, June is here. It’s very busy in the garden right now. I spend a couple hours daily weeding, mulching and pruning. Ours was a troubled winter in Connecticut with frosted azalea buds and the limited rain in early Spring has been challenging for trees too. Early bloomers like the Andromeda bushes have been losing their battle with a lace bug infestation that’s required regular spraying and pruning to maintain health. The Japanese Maple is actually dropping leaves for lack of hydration. But! We’re soldiering on in anticipation of stellar flowers as the weather normalizes. Besides, lack of rain has made spraying for deer damage less intensive.
Inside. I’m readying scarves and pillows for our first fair The Spring Art Walk in Lenox– coming up June 10-11- next weekend! We’re trying on a new tent so it’s an exciting time!
Seattle is a beautiful new scarf that came in and was SOLD within the week. I created it on the iPad using my pencil. Cool. Of course, all designs return to the iMac for final proofing and upsizing.
First Tulip points to a new direction as well. Expect the trend to continue in 2023. Look around for new beginnings. In stock and available to buy now!
I produced a new scarf size and fabric. A smaller infinity in a soft knit- I call them Cozy. Three in stock.
