Sorry to hear that Kippy. Depending on what you ordered, if you still want them, and shipping costs check out Roses Unlimited, long ago roses, and rogue valley roses among others. I have received beautiful plants from all of them and with Vintage closing and the rough winter weather, I think it is more important than ever to support our rose nurseries. Some of them have have extensive selections.

The best one I've found is Nailtiques. It's clear, comes in a little bottle in a box, runs about $10. You can also get some thinner to make it last longer. They have different formulas and I use #2 "Treatment for Soft, Peeling, Bitten, Weak or Thin Nails." You apply it every day, then you can apply less often once the nails are where you want them. I got mine at a beauty supply and also at Ulta. Good luck on those nails. Bet they are looking good already.

Thanks for asking the question, and Dorothy I love your kitchen too. That light over the sink- is that serenity from seagull? I have been on the verge of ordering the mini pendants in that line (not certain if they are the same as your pendants... coudl be the angle but it looks a tad different_ ) anyway the height looks right. People have mentioned that when they are low they do block vision and just get in the way. Really pretty kitchen.

Nearly a month later and all the hydrangeas are in bloom. I'm going to experiment with drying them (I've been successful before) & dying a few to achieve the purple-blue color dd loves. I'll know in a month or two if I've been successful, plenty of time to make other plans. I was not planing on doing all the tables and arrangements myself, though there will only be about 12 tables. If I could slip a few narcissis and (with some luck) very early tulips in the arrangements...and perhaps a single hydrangea I'd be very happy. I don't think the financial savings would be significant but the pleasure would be. She loves the color of the blue twist and shout hydrangea, but I have absolutely no idea how it dries. I have 4 mature annabelles, so lots of mopheads to experiment with...also limelight (floppy) a few paniculatas that might work. There is a local florist who is willing to work with clients who want to use flowers from their own gardens. Thanks for your ideas.
