My sister got me this super cute planter for my birthday.  It’s made by perch! which is handmade in Brooklyn.  So cute!

I also planted some lavender in a pot that formerly housed a flowering plant that will do much better in my mom’s back yard.

Here is a picture of my new eggplanter in my studio where it matches perfectly!

Yesterday I planted some herbs in this little herb pot I got for my birthday.  I hope they do well.

Today I wore my new summer skirt, which I have cleverly decided to call, the summer linen skirt.

Both the skirt and the pattern for the skirt are made by me.

Today I received my patternmaking stamps from rubberstamps.net and I love them! Oh, organization, how I love you so.
