Journey to Work

It’s very easy to get bored of your journey to work or school…or in my case both since they are both in the same place. So today I took the camera along with me to take pictures of the little things I see every day and hopefully appreciate them more through photographing them.

Herb Garden // Week One

Friday, March 26th, 2010

garden week 1

I have dreamed of a little window-sill herb garden all Winter. With school and work I hadn’t had the time to get things started. My one and only goal for Spring Break was to get everything set up. Using a mixture of recycled jars, and mixed matched pots set upon the lovely little shelf Piet put up for me I will grow Basil, Cilantro, Lavender, Sage and Catnip!

seeds

I’ve started the seeds out in a damp cloth sealed in a plastic baggie. This will speed up the germination process. Stay tuned for week two!

Piet and I attending our St. Cupcake tasting today for the wedding. We really lucked out, and they have agreed to do a trade with Plywerk for the cupcakes. (Thank you Kim & Kjell!) So we dropped by their bakery in NW Portland to sort everything out. There are still a few we need to try out that they didn’t have today, however I fell in love with the Fat Elvis…mmm. We also got a goodie box to take home with us!

It was a great experience, and it will come highly recommended from us!

Spring in Portland

Yes Spring is here..albeit early, but here indeed. Our courtyard is in bloom. I adore the fact that we only need to walk out our front door to have a lovely stroll through a garden.

cactus

I also found this little yellow jem of a cactus at Ikea of all places. So I rescued it, re potted it and gave it a nice sunny home in on our front window sill.
