I just cant help my self! I adore succulents and cactus and need an intervention! YIKES! here are a few collections that we have potted up in the shop are are available for your shopping pleasure. The prices range form $30-75. Please give us a call at 503.460.digs (3447) if we can set one aside for you! Feast your eyes on these.....

Check out the cactus in bloom and the red tipped jade! Love that euphorbia! YUMMY!



Ok then....now a few shots from my emerging spring garden......

Aren't these 'jolly joker' violas just the happiest thing? So cheerful!

Japanese painted fern and Tiarella..a great combination!

My new favorite daffodil - 'copper queen'. An orange daffodil - delightful!

And finally...my poor, sweet Buddy - it's all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone!

more succulents-ish....

I forgot that I had this photo below of a succulent planting at the Portland Yard, Garden & Patio show at the end of February....just your basic succulents/semps in a large (32") and low outdoor bowl, mixed with decorative rock - it was just beautiful. I keep meaning to try this on my own.....

Below is another batch of plantings that we did at the shop with a BEAUTIFUL Agave (my favorite) in one of them. We also used some lemon coral sedum and a few special Echeveria - I think block pots always look great and sophisticated!

My husband got me this pot below for Christmas - from Obleeek in the Bay Area......super lightweight, modern and asymmetrical - perfect for the Adenium I planted in it. It has made itself at home on my kitchen counter and it looks fantastic!

The lovely Miss Barbara recently threw a puppy party for Stella, the amazing wonder-pup - it was a blast and Stella was completely on over-stim....and these cupcakes were definitely a hit! Our friend Eric got them from Saint Cupcake in Northwest Portland and custom-topped with with his very ingenious Stella-Palooza toppers! We were all quite impressed! So crafty! So clever! So yummy! Thanks Eric!

NEW STUFF ALERT! With the gardening season well underway, the shop is now filling up with pots, plants and all things garden related. We have also been planting up succulent gardens that would look great as a centerpiece on your outdoor table. I love succulents, I guess you could even say I am obsessed with them....I love Agave even more....particularly Agave Paryyi 'truncata'.....yummy! We have some super cool planters with Agave in the shop - but silly me - I forgot to get pictures of those! But look at the cool chimney pots....and the fab garden stools......we have them in black and turquoise. These stools are much larger than the ones in all the shops now, so they really make a great and comfortable seat..... have the turquoise stools in my garden and I have put two of them together to use as a coffee table or also as extra seating. We also have recycled rubber - out of tires garden pots in three sizes and FINALLY - a photo of the French Shopping Carts - so cute! Please come by and check out our new stuff.......as always, the espresso is on us!
