Fertilizer Friday/ Flaunt Your Flowers Feb. 22/13

PSSSST!

Hey YOU!

Ya YOU!   

Do you know what day it is???

It’s Friday !!!!  

Wow this week sure flew by!

Friday is a BIG day for us here at Tootsie Time…(ok, just me…there is no one else here…lol) It’s a big deal because it means it’s PARTY TIME!!!!

Fertilizer Friday is the day of the week than an ELITE group of gardeners from all around the world get together, snap photos, link up and Flaunt Their Flowers!!!

If you are new to Tootsie Time and Fertilizer Friday, I just know you are asking yourself…”How do I join?”

Well…it’s easy really. Here’s all you need to know to become a part of this great group of gardeners, bloggers and friends:

If it is spring or summer where you live, you need to snap a few photos of what you have growing, blooming or just love to look at that is of the plant variety…if it is winter where you live, you may post past favorite photos…or indoor plants…whatever you like. The only criteria is that it is a plant or something growing! You do not need to use fertilizer to participate in this party, All I ask is that: Your post must include the logo above and/or abut if you do, this is the reminder to fertilize weekly! link to Tootsie Time, or the linky will be deleted.

So....I would like to invite each and every one of you to join in and share your photos...

As most of you already know, I am not even close to being at home…I am actually 2000km away from home…and that means I am not going to be able to share anything that I actually grew with you this week…so…Instead….since I am all the way in Seattle Washington for the NWFGS, I think I will share a few photos that I have taken at the show!

Today's post is going to be up a little earlier than usual...at least I THINK it is...there is a time difference here...and really I am not sure WHAT time it actually is...lol....yes...I am a blonde...with muscles that HURT from walking around in downtown Seattle....UPHILL a lot of the way!  So...the post is going up...and it will be whatever time it is!  haha!  As long as I have it up today...and it is good for the weekend...I am happy with that! :)

Lets get started....I am excited to share some of the photos I took at the show!

I LOVE the fun in this garden…that pot adds so much whimsy!  Gardening is a sport that allows us to use our sense of humor…and this…is a great example of that!

013

This is just gorgeous…there is no other word for it.  Gorgeous!

Is is bed time yet?

I have so many photos to share…but only so much can be done at a time…so that is it for this Tootsie today!   I can’t wait to see what you guys have to dazzle and inspire me this week!   I hope to be able to comment to everyone this week…but it will be a few days until that can happen…we still have a 2000 km drive home!

So…what are you waiting for???

  Get your flaunt on!!!

I wish all of you hugs and smiles, and safe and happy weekend plans!

Thank you all so much for dropping in today, and to those that faithfully link in to this party…and who are patient while waiting for me to FINALLY visit you…it seems there are not enough hours in a day anymore...THANK YOU!

Until Next Time... Happy Gardening!

*)*)*)  Everyone always says how they wish they could go back in time and fix all of the mistakes they made. But you need to take into consideration that those mistakes are what got you here today.

A Day in Seattle at NWFGS ( DAY 1 )

Well hello there!   Thanks for stopping by today! 

As promised…I am sharing a few of the photos I have taken while at the North West Flower and Garden Show in Seattle Washington!

Yes…we did it!  My cowboy and I drove 2000 km to attend this annual event!

061

There are some very creative gardens displayed here…check out the dinosaur…

062

I liked this one because of the creative use of some cool junk…

063

My favorite part of this booth was the wire “purse” like basket all planted up!  Super Cute!

080

It seems that this show has a LOT of Orchid booths.   Every isle we went down had at least one or two beautiful displays of healthy blooming orchids.  Look at this one.   It has a huge bloom…Gorgeous!

077

I was loving some of the wonderful shapes that the orchid blooms have…the colors are fantastic too. 

090

As luck would have it, this is not just a flower and garden show…it turns out it is an antiques and vintage market too!   YAY!!!   I get to do a little junkin!  :)

086

There are some wonderful little nick knacks just waiting for a garden to call home.

098

Loving this creative little gravy spoon!!!

087

I have a few glass door knobs and I think I even have a tomato cage or two!!!!

088

  I think this is a fantastic use for them!  

127

Blown Glass flowers are a huge trend in this show…they are pretty aren’t they?  I could have picked several out to bring home…maybe I still will!!!  :)

130

Grammie and Grampie will be happy to know that the garden gnome lives on for 2013….there are gnomes in ANY size you would imagine…ANY Size…:)

099

THIS is my personal favorite…I fell desperately in love with the old shopping cart as soon as I saw it.  My cowboy laughed at me at first…but he soon saw how cute it is.  He likes it too…but would not allow me to purchase this lovely.   I even offered to push him around the show in it…but he stood his ground…(mean bugger)

100
Yep…I NEED a shopping cart….REALLY bad.  So…if anyone has one who lives in my area…I would be a very happy Tootsie to have it!   (Grampie…that is a hint for you…?????xoxo???? :)  okay?)

181

I am sure that we could cut a “Deal” for a shopping cart Grampie…maybe it would involve a gnome or sumthin…?

Well…that is it for today…I am on my way back to the garden show to take a bunch of wonderful photos to share! 

Until Next Time…Happy Gardening!
