However, being the little sister that I am I feel that it is my duty to inform you that on the lily of the vally page I caught a typo! Lol, no biggie, just thouht you might want to know since it too you so long to make. In your mini-description you put "teh" instead of "the". K, that's all!

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:34:20 +0000 http://makingitlovely.com/?p=978#comment-9770 Something to aspire to! And here are a few things to look forward to in the spring... The Oak Park Conservatory has a plant sale - maybe in early May? I went crazy there buying lavender and herbs and other plants I found I couldn't resist. I also went to the Cheney Mansion plant sale - late spring, early summer. I bought tons of Sweet Peas and built a little tower out of bamboo sticks for them to grow up. What a sweet, old-fashioned scent they had. If you like bulbs, I'm very taken with the Old House Gardens heirloom bulbs (www.oldhousegardens.com). They have the dates different cultivars were introduced. I was thinking of getting bulbs only from the 1920s, when our bungalow was built. Something to aspire to!

I have <a href="http://makingitlovely.com/2008/08/06/the-long-term-backyard-plan/" rel="nofollow">a sketch of the garden</a> from awhile back – it wouldn't be very difficult to make it into a garden plan. Janice, the fonts are <a href="http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100033" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Archer</a> and <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/jawfonts/scriptorama-jf/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scriptorama Hostess</a>. And yes, it's totally insane. And I'm a nerd. ;) Ooh, so many good ideas! I have a sketch of the garden from awhile back – it wouldn’t be very difficult to make it into a garden plan.
