I’ve been keeping up with all the guest blogging going on the past few weeks on 100 Layer Cake, and this recent post by Indigo Bunting definitely caught my eye. She has such lovely work! My favorites are the vintage “note passing” invite and the cupcake and science lab invite. I’m excited to see more of her posts this week!

Springtime in the Garden

Colleen — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 03:57:59 +0000

The garden has been literally springing to life this past weekend. The warm weather is really making things pop, bloom, and grow. Here’s a few things that caught my eye as I poked around the yard:

(bright yellow forsythia in full bloom)

(wild violet beginning to sprout up from the dirt)

(buds beginning to open and bloom on every branch)

(bleeding heart growing taller everyday)

There’s so much green in the garden at the moment, and against the brown dirt and trees it’s very striking. I do really like the starkness of winter, but there’s nothing like seeing that vibrant green in the spring!

What’s going on in your garden?
