FAREWELL FROM KATHLEEN AT "THE LAVENDER BOUQUET"

 Good Morning my TLB friends!

It's been quite a while since I've written to all of you and I apologize. My life has changed so much since the beginning of creating "The Lavender Bouquet" blog. Writing my blog has been a wonderful experience for me through the years. The friends, family and new relationships I've experienced have been priceless, and "I thank  each and every one of you" for riding along with me! 

Since writing my first blog in "2010" I've covered allot of topics on my posts. I've tried to include a variety of information for each and every one of you. Food, remodeling, personal experiences, home tours, seasonal decor ideas, relocations, etc. My hope is that the information and ideas I have shared with you has been helpful in some part of your life also.

It is with a bit of a heavy heart that I've decided to take a break from my blog. I will miss all of you and your kindness. Some of you I've never had the pleasure of meeting face to face, however, I feel like I know "ALL" of you! I've appreciated each and every one of you, your comments, and the friendships we've made along the way.

As I close my blog today I am sharing a bit of my Spring planting. I needed just a little bit of color here and there so I chose..... 

Euphorbia Grande-White (Diamond Snow--in the back of the planter)

Celosia-Red (Feathered Amaranth)

Creeping Jenny-Green vine (Lysimachia Nummularia)

Plant planter-https://www.ballarddesigns.com (Beauclaire)

May your SPRING be filled with color and new beginnings.
