LAST BATCH OF PHOTOS FROM SEATTLE.....

A few photos I left out from the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle last weekend.....The first photo is an incredibly OOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD t-shirt from KXL radio of when my darling Mike Darcy began his radio show - so many years ago...he looks like a baby! The second photo is Mike's daughter-in-law, the charming Anne, who brought the shirt to share with us all at the show - and give us all a huge laugh!

The last three shots are of Mike Darcy interviewing the legendary garden dude, Ed Hume, for his radio show! It was a real honor to get to meet Mr. Hume....total garden hero!

I even got to be a little bit of radio filler on Saturday! Mike had an extra few minutes on his show - so he was kind enough to put me on the air and ask about some of the trends I have been following in the garden furnishings/fabrics/color world - from all of the design shows we have attended recently. What a treat! It is such fun to be on his show..........

Be sure and tune in to Mikes show every Saturday morning from 9-12. There is so much to learn from him......

Well, that's it for now........

A day in Seattle.

Miss Barbara and I spent Monday shopping at Pike's Market in Seattle
and stopoped at the Pink Door for lunch. What a great place. No sign
outside, just a pink door......

They actually have women swinging on trapeze during certain lunches
and at dinner. Crazy!!!

The last of the Seattle Garden Show pictures and a lovely dinner for 10 at Wild Ginger with Mike Darcy et al. Whew!!! I am sooooooo tired!!!!
