Dance of the Bumblebees...

I love the taste of fresh honey... especially the dark winter honey that I bought at the Wilson Czech Festival last year. I couldn't wait to get it home and start tasting it on almost everything: fruit, crackers, fresh bread. I've baked with it and added it into sauces. You name it I've tried it. It's been nine months and I'm almost out - so sad, but I do have the number to get more.

That love of honey and my daily walks have me thinking about bees. I love watching the BIG bumblebees in my garden. They always seem so busy, so graceful.

Here are a couple of items I found on Etsy that I BEElive are worth a second look.

This Steampunk Necklace by Ballyhoo Jewelry was the first piece to catch my eye.

Treasury Tuesday: Spring Things

Spring has sprung... All you need for verification is a look out my dining room window. The plum tree and our red bud are in full bloom.

Or you could look at my computer screen and see all the spring themed treasuries.

I made this one for the Midwest Treasury Team. I love the splashes of color.




And doesn't this one by pepindor  make you think Spring meets Summer?
