Getting ready to load my trailer for the show! What a busy time of year. I do enjoy kicking off the Holidays at this show. It is usually where I hear my first Christmas music for the season. It always makes me want to come home and pull out my Holiday piano music and start playing!

I will have lots of topiary themed gifts for the people on your list. The monogrammed guest towels are perfect hostess gift as well as gifts for garden club members.

I love “the Fundaments” topiary design for elementary school teachers. The design comes in blank notecards, lavender sachets as well as 8 x 10 matted/framed prints. Too sweet!

My newest Hedges & Hares topiary design “Book Club” would make a charming gift for your book club members… a set of notecards or a bookmark.

Don’t forget, linen hemstitched lavender sachets and blank notecard sets make lovely stocking stuffers for the dog lover in the family. Who doesn’t want to see their favorite dog stretched out on a hedgey topiary piece of furniture for a unique and whimsical garden portrait?

Well, it’s finally happened. We have eggs. It’s like Christmas morning every day. Philamenia, Lucille and Stormy are such good chickens. I swear Lucille comes to the door to tell me to check the box if she is out and goes back in the coop to lay her egg.

On a different note… Countess Cluck is now apparently Captain Cluck and looking for a good home.

While he is only doing his chicken-y job… chasing people with claws and spurs bared doesn’t go over well. Gracie has become a tremendous asset. Captain Cluck will not go after us in the garden if Gracie is there! That little turkey… Cluck not Gracie. I know what you are thinking. Can’t go there. ; )
