Heart to Heart is headed to Pennsylvania this week for the Philadelphia Flower Show.....the biggest flower show in the United States!  It's an awesome display of garden artistry, and this year's theme is "Bella Italia".  There will be many huge displays built from live plants, from flowers to full size trees.  Last year there were even ponds and streams in the gardens.  Incredible!  There is a marketplace where our booth will be, full of everything from jewelry to garden tools.  I'm taking my camera and will post from the show to share the beauty.

This is a salvaged raised door panel that I decorated with cut ceiling tin pieces. I rather like how it turned out, and hope I can do a few for my shows. I'm not sure if there's a message behind this design, but I think that little flower is happy to be blooming.

We just finished a batch of these nice big birdhouses.  They're roofed with steel shingles that were salvaged from one of the biggest old Victorian houses in New Holstein, where I live.  I love knowing just where the stuff we use to make our birdhouses comes from and knowing a little story about it is that much better.
