UPDATE: Fall 2014 Theme Garden Seed Swap in Progress
Comments (84)Karen, What a delightful story... Thank you to all who sent seeds in special for me. I'll name what was sent in for me all stapled up as I am looking my theme swap seeds. jensyen sent one for each of my themes.,poisondart sent me 5 commercial packets jaynine..I got 3 packets of petunia excerta"i'm sure you only sent one special for me>, I think I will have enough of them to last a couple of seasons! Jaynine also sent var. dames rocket...yay! panhandle sent me 2 special packets of seeds labeled please do not touch, they are from ishares wishlist. She also sent bells of Ireland. I got a good chuckle out of them labeled that way! yotetrapper sent me 3 packets one is ivy leaves mg .Primrose sent me a couple of nice arisaemas ,dem-pa sent sweet sultan, hollyhock pink and celosia pink .promise sent 3 packs of seeds, bells of Ireland being one of them. Susiequsi sent some petunias...Susie, keep your eye out for an email from me. I wish I could list them all but I had lots with no players name on them so I am unable to mention you here. Jeannie, I got the most packets from you ,20/25, you didn't need to throw those in to fill in. I didn't need to get anywhere near the same number of packets back. I'm sorry maybe I forgot to tell you that this year. Oh, another interesting packet was labeled" a bit of a mystery, blue flower on wispy stem" no player name on the packet though...I'm thinking nigella, YOU? I'm very curious to know who the person was that played but didn't get seeds back. I didn't have anything from anyone not getting seeds back "not that this is a problem, I don't always have something for everyone either!>....just that curiosity killed the cat and what he found out brought him back...haha. I have an idea of who it may have been but I'm not sure as I didn't get any packets from them. Again, thank you everyone! Lisa...See MoreNEW: Now Time to Sign up: 2011-2012 Theme Garden Seed Swap
Comments (53)clay lady, we would love to have you join in! Just list your 5 themes and send me your e-mail address and you are in. However, I am closing the sign ups tomorrow morning so we can all start sorting, ordering, and packing up seeds - so don't take long to list your themes and send me an e-mail message. Okay? (Nothing like putting the pressure on, but at least you found us in time!) More information will come to you and all the others by e-mail once the sign ups close and I will start a new thread here on the Round Robin Exchange page so we can keep up with what has been mailed to me, received by me, and when I mail back to you and you receive your packet. I will include the full list of participants and themes there also. Looking forward to lots of fun. Happy New Year's Weekend to all! Jeanne...See MoreGarden themes/ readings in actual ceremony
Comments (2)How about a wreath ceremony - it isn't a reading exactly, but it's a ceremony involving the symbolism of various botanicals. I love it (although I haven't decided as of yet which things to use for the wreath) I'm definitely going to do this. Here is a link that might be useful: Wreath Ceremony...See MoreContinuing the theme for 2015- need a new rug
Comments (11)If you are looking for Persian/Oriental rugs, then I would try an actual Oriental Rug store. Most of the rugs will come in off sizes. For example, one of my rugs that is "at camp" getting repaired is 2'4"x4'5". Just go in, tell them the colors you like, the area's size, photos (from your phone) of the adjoining rooms, and they'll be able to show you some things that may fit your space (and budget). You could also layer a smaller rug on a sisal, or just put a sisal there.There are a couple of online dealers that let you customize the size of rug you'd like. I'd be happy to share the name of one that I used if you decide to go that route....See Moreireena (zone 5-6)
