this is a pretty necklace, made with real seaglass, found in the Pacific Rim as I comb the rugged beaches with my dogs. I never alter any of my seaglass, aside from carefully drilling holes in it. It is never tumbled or shaped by me...just the sea!

I stacked these four uniques pieces of glass on a silver headpin, separated by little siver beads, and strung it onto a lovely mixture of silver seed beads. it closes securely with a silver lobster claw clasp.

necklace is a total of eighteen inches in length, and the pendant is just over one in long, and three quarters of an inch across at its widest point!

Sometimes I find it hard to make earrings...finding two pieces of glass that match almost perfectly is a bit of a challenge!

These pieces of frosty white seaglass were just asking to be made into earrings! I didn't want to take away from their natural beauty, so I kept it simple!

The pink glass beads are gorgeous, I don't think that their depth has been captured by the camera!

These earrings hang just over two inches in length, and are simple, but striking.

Orange Montbretia Crocosmia - corms

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:05:24 -0500

$5.00

Crocosmia - Montbretia (Bright Orange Shades)

Hummingbirds love mine!

An absolutely stunning border perennial plant, and this variety is fully hardy zones 6 - 10 and easy to grow. Deer proof! Extremely decorative in the garden, and also highly regarded as a cut flower. Each corm will form an attractive clump of sword-like leaves during the early part of the year, then through out summer an abundance of graceful arching flower stalks with beautiful shades of bright orange trumpet shaped flowers, that apear in zig-zag fashion up each stem. Flowers are long lasting, and if that is'nt enough, you also have added autumn interest, as once the flowers fade, they are replaced with stunning seed pods, that start bright green, turning yellow, orange and eventually brown, once again ideal for cutting. This plant really is a flower arrangers dream! Overall size of the plant once established is 24-36" high - when in flower x 12-18" spread.

Any good well drained soil, in a sunny location. Corms can be planted during autumn or early spring (march to june), - it is advisable to avoid planting during periods of heavy frost or water logging, Corms can be stored in a cool, dry and frost free place until weather conditions are suitable for planting. Plant each corm 6" deep, with 12" spacing in between each one.

You are buying 10 - 12 fresh corms taken from root division - they are ready to be planted - weather permitting of course, and will flower this summer.

Sorry, but I can only ship these in Canada and the USA.

driftwood necklace - almost home

i was almost home when i stopped to pick up this little piece of driftwood!

real driftwood from the westcoast of vancouver island. lightly sanded, polished with mineral oil, embellished with glass, a freshwater pearl and shell beads, drilled and strung on beading wire.

i don't know the origin of the wood, or what kind it is. since we are on the pacific rim, it could even be from japan!

either way, i love sanding and polishing- each piece has its own colour, grain and uniqueness! i think this one looks wonderful with the pewter coloured beads...

it is about nineteen inches in total length, closes with a silver lobster claw clasp. the driftwood pendant itself is about two and one half inches by one inch.

Red Russian Kale Heirloom Seeds

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:56:07 -0400

$3.00
One cup of kale has 33 calories, double your daily beta-carotene and 6 times of the recommended amount of vitamin K (K is good for your bones and blood). It’s also got plenty of vitamin C, calcium and potassium. Kale is sturdier than other greens like spinach so, when cooked, it has more of a bite. This makes it perfect for soups and stir-fries. Sauté it briefly with olive oil, garlic and a splash of vegetable broth and balsamic vinegar and you’ve got one of the most delicious (and healthy) side dishes I can think of.

Open pollinated heirloom from Russia. Cold hardy to -10C with very little protection. Plants will survive for years if you don't let them set seed. Will self sow and provide an abundance of greens. Leaves are sweet and tender. Use flowering shoots like rapini; turns green when cooked. Good substitute for Purple Sprouting Broccoli. Yummy.

Old favorite is an excellent red-veined bunching kale. Sweeter and more tender than other kales during warm weather, yet also tolerates extreme cold. Color deepens in the cold. 24-30" plant height

Start almost anytime; indoors Feb. for spring-summer greens or June to early September to over winter to provide sweet tender leaves late winter/early spring.Planting Depth: 1/4"-1/2"
Soil Temp. for Germ.: 55-85°F
Days to Germ.:3-10
Plant Spacing: 12-18"
Days to Maturity: 50-60

Columbine Seed Mix

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 13:55:37 -0400

$3.00
This listing is for a mix of columbine seeds, and includes purple columbine seeds, double pink fancy columbine seeds, and 'wild'columbine seeds (they have red blossoms with yellow centres)

Columbines are very easy to grow, and they will also self seed, and can be easily transplanted and divided. I love mine as they attract bees and hummingbirds to my garden, as well as having gorgeous unique flowers and very pretty foliage.Perennial, Aquilegia hybrida

Columbine is an easy to grow perennial. Columbine is native to Asia, Europe and North America. If you are a hummingbird lover, Columbine is for you. It is a favorite of hummingbirds and bees because the flowers contain lots of nectar.

Columbines produce large, showy blooms of single and bicolor patterns on airy plants with blue-green foliage from late spring to early summer.

Did you Know? Columbine is the state flower of Colorado. They are also called the "Rocky Mountain Columbine".

Propagation:

Columbine are grown from seed. They can be directly seeded into your flower garden.

Sow Columbine seeds in the spring, and cover with 1/8" soil. Space seeds or seedlings 16-18" apart.

If you have established plants, Columbine can also be separated by division in the spring.

How to Grow Columbine Flower Plants:

Columbine are very easy to grow. They grow well in partial shade and well drained soil. They will do well in average soils and tolerate dry soil conditions. Add a general purpose fertilizer once or twice a season.

Columbine grows 15-20", and are good in flowerbeds, containers, as edging, and in rock gardens.

Once your Columbine are established, they will grow well and bloom until frost. Being very hardy, they will likely survive the first light frosts before going dormant for the winter. They do not require mulching or protection in the winter.

This listing is for over 100 assorted seeds!
