My Purple Coneflowers are in full bloom. Now their name is Doubledecker Coneflower (Echinacea Purpurea Doubledecker) which would lead you to believe they are maybe, I don't know, maybe doubledeckered, but the first year they were single flowers, the second year they had a cute little coneflower on top of the main coneflower and then...
Pitcher Collection
I have a small collection of pitchers that I wanted to show you. It all started with a pitcher that was originally my grandmother's. It is a Fiestaware disk juice pitcher in Harlequin Yellow. This pitcher was a gift from my sister who found it at an antique store. It is a Fiestaware disk water...
