I’m a day early with this week’s video post, but it felt timely. Tis the weekend of plant sales and surely you have a flat full of new vegetable and herb starts to put into your garden. It’s supposed to be a sunny one today and I’m sure I won’t be the only one getting my hands dirty. Before you start planting all those seedlings you bought, I wanted to share some tips to help you get them off to a great start! Watch this video for some helpful hints to get your garden growing!
I’m keepin’ it local this Saturday by joining my fellow Maple Leaf neighbors at the Olympic View Elementary Plant Sale. I’ll be at the sale on Saturday from 10:00 – 12:00, answering your gardening questions and nerding out about the veggie starts I love. I’ll share all of my favorite plant picks with you! I hope you’ll come out and chat with me! Tell me how your garden’s growing and what you hope to grow in your garden this summer! I’d love to meet you!

Please allow me just one more frivolous post. I wanted to give you a little more bunting inspiration before I leave this topic and continue with our regularly scheduled programming.
I got Kelly, one of my fellow craft club mavens, to take some photos of the adorable bunting she has around her abode and I just had to share it with you.
See! Aren’t you feeling like you need more bunting in your life too?
If you’ve ever been on Pinterest, especially on any wedding board, you’ve seen bunting. (Exhibit A, above – image from here) It’s a whimsical party classic. I have my bff to blame for my love of bunting. Years ago, she made some bunting garland for a party with polka dots that made me grin. I’ve adored it ever since. When I texted her about this post, she answered in the most appropriate way, “I need more bunting in my life!” I couldn’t agree more.
So, this post and mini-tutorial is for people who need more bunting in their lives. This craft will give you an excuse to add color and fun to spaces just for the hell of it. You don’t have to be a bride to decorate with bunting. Spring is reason enough – no party is required! A sash over the window, on the rim of a mason jar, flair over the patio – any space that needs a little life is fair game.
Put those paper and fabric scraps and remnants to use and make yourself some bunting. I can only hope it will make you smile as much as me.
Bunting Abounds! Here’s a little more fun:

Bunting Necklace! I can wear this around my neck? Love!
