Sprouts!

Last week I planted some poppy seeds in this measuring cup, not thinking they would actually grow. I mean, cooking poppy seeds, these are suppose to go in muffins and such! So I was amazed when I went out this morning and saw these 2 little sprouts. It made my day.

lovely spring things.

I've spent most of the afternoon outside in the amazing weather, photographing all the little plants I've started already. A couple of our trees have starting budding, so I pulled off a few branches and stuck them in a vase. So beautiful.



Instead of going out and buying a bunch of pots to put seed in, I've used things around the house, like the camping cup and this old measuring cup, I couldn't see the lines on the side anymore! It's so much cheaper and I think it looks great.



I can't wait to start my herbs and other gardening projects, it seems I'll be taking care of the carrots and onions this year.



I'm hoping to bake some earl grey cupcakes this week, but I'm not sure what else. I'm sure I'll tackle some more recipes from my new cookbook.

hello, gorgeous.

i bought this little beauty today and stuck it in an old camping cup. so cute!
