Having Saturday plans this weekend I will not be at farmers market today but always
remember you can always find my flowers here and pre-order for pick up next market.

Enjoy the Sunshine we all deserve it.

Check out the sales catalog today for more Flowers and now you will be able to
order in all your favorite colors.  On the colors section of the flower you are
ordering you will see all your choices.  Remember that all are handmade
and as unique as mother nature makes.  They are great for Birthdays,
Special occasions or just to collect a whole garden full. 
So brighten someones day today.

it's what you are expected to give--
which is everything.

It is a wonderful morning when you can sit on the front porch and
hear the Blue Jay sing.

I am wishing you the same experience soon.  Remember to take
time out for the little things before they are gone.

Today I will be at the Farmers Market on State St in Bettendorf, Iowa
from 2-6pm.  Stop by and see all the new stained glass flower that

grey days and brighten you house and garden.

Speaking of the Blue Jay check out the new stained glass bird houses.

See ya at market,

through sickness we recognize the value of health;
through evil, the value of good;
through hunger, the value of food;
through exertion, the value of rest.

I hope this finds all my midwest friends and customers safe and dry. 

After long night of heavy rains and high winds I am
very thank full to be safe and dry.  My thought and prayers
go out to all of you not as luck as I have been.

Please put the whole Midwest and the state of Iowa in your

Well I am going to try and make it to market today
but it looks like were are up for more bad storms in
my area.

But in my studio all kinds of purple, red, blue and pink flowers are blooming.

So I will be busy listing those here today instead of market.

I have a thought today for you about rainbows and our souls.

The soul would have no rainbow
 if the eye had no tears.

Have a great day.

Well, I don't know about you but I am ready for the rain to stop and the wind to die down.   It is hard to setup at an art show or farmers market this year with this weather. 

I will be at the Bettendorf Farmer's Market on Thursday from 2-6 on State Street weather permiting. 

I have started a new project this week for a Church in Clinton County where they replaced all their stained glass windows last year.  I am now using the old glass to make 3-D flowers and candle holders for the church members.   This is a wonderful way to have a keepsake for each member.

If your church is replacing windows email me and I will give you more details.

Have a great Monday.

Diane
