homemade pickles

Our little veggie patch is just starting, but I couldn't wait to make a few batches of pickles from store bought ingredients.  Darby's recipe for sweet + crunchy dills is one of my faves...I make it several times every summer...you should try it too!

pink tulip bouquets for may day

I went pretty much my whole life not knowing that May Day was a holiday.  But when a holiday that's all about gifting pretty flowers presents itself, I get behind it 100%.

I bought a big bunch of tulips from Costco, divvied it up, and wrapped them in kraft paper and a bit of polka dot fabric.

I tied them in pink baker's twine and a tag and called it good.  Sweet and simple.

You can see last year's berry basket May Day bouquets here.
