BLOG REVIEW ON A DRIPPING RAINY TUESDAY MORNING

Today I would like to share with you the link to a blogger I found from Israel. Meeting folks from around the world who share a common interest such as gardening which is something I enjoy to do in addition to Glenna's Garden shop at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ is always a pleasure. This blogger is half the way around the world from me. I give them a 5 star rating on crafts, gardening and so much more plus beautiful pictures too.

SOMETHING FOR SATURDAY

I love the Fall time....leaves are changing....it is cooler and crisp! Saturday morning waking up later than usual and you step on the kitchen floor tile and it bites back. Time for socks and slippers. The gardens are so colorful now with the smaller leaved plants being changed quickly by the cooler nights now. Whole trees have changed and they dot the landscape. A quick trip up North yesterday and you could see Fall everywhere in the foliage. My shop at www.gnormyle.etsy.com has taken on the Fall theme. The Black Eyed Susans are so bright right now.

Rainy Monday

We just can't get a break from the rain this summer. It is cool out too. The plants are loving it. Veggie gardens are coming up nice. We have two large ones outside Glenna's Garden http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ Sales were really good through the YART SALE this past weekend. I have everything ready to go out to my customers. I got my sewing machine last night from a friend and for free too. It is a Singer Super Elegance Model 9461 I was like a little kid at Christmas early this morning looking it over. I found the manual for it at the Singer Company website and will have to order it next month. I have a nice collection of fabrics to work with and really just need thread in different colors. I am not sure what I am going to make to sell. I do know that I love to sew and I am very excited to get back to doing it again. The picture I have chose for today is one of my art pieces it is an ACEO with a vintage playing card attached to it. I have done three of these and they will each be done in a very limited quanity. Get in touch with me if you are interested. My art is on display in a gallery check it out at www.putiton.com/glennanormyle

Super Sunday

Up this morning early. I am checking on my sales for this weekend and I have 5 orders so far. Big worldwide YART SALE until midnight tonight and then it ends go to http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ and check out the last day deals. I am so happy to be doing so well business wise. Stop by http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ for unique gifts from original art to vintage. I started a website at http://www.glennasgarden.webs.com/ and we are now on Facebook search for me Glenna Normyle. Also I joined http://www.putiton.com/ and there you also do a search for artist by name Glenna Normyle, that's me. The beautiful large pink roses I blogged about earlier have been dried whole and pressed now. I even have some leftover to start a pottpouri. The rose petals smell so good right now. I took a bunch of pictures of these huge pink roses for my photography. All five buds opened slightly and are now hanging to dry. I thought there were three but there were actually five buds. These will eventually make there way to a dried floral bouquet or on a wreath. What a success! Rain and more rain at Glenna's Garden, it stormed and poured all night long. 7 AM Sunday morning and it has stopped for now. The plants here at Glenna's Garden in Manchester, NH are loving this cooler and rainy weather. I am finding that all of the indoor plants here at Glenna's Garden need to be watered every other day. The ACEO Artist Card Edition and Original is an original that is for sale. It comes with a proteective plastic sleeve as well as a 4" by 6" photo of the pomagranate plant that produced one flower. I preserved itthe lone flower and now it is the clothing for this little boy. It gives me great satisfaction to be able to do this and also share my art as well. I am hoping that with some good luck, well I do have a green thumb, that this indoor pomagranate plant (bush), it is very young yet, will flourish with my care and produce more blooms for me next season and fruit would be fabulous.

Super Sunday

This is the long holiday weekend. I had a big purchase at my shop Glenna's Garden http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ and sales have been steady. That means that today I have been busy making tags, cards, boxes, bookmarks and more. I am going to be having a Big Summer Tag Sale in the next week or so if you are interested let me know by email at gnormyle@yahoo.com and I will notify you when it it starts. Today our indoor pomegranate plant put forth her first beautiful very bright orange blossom. I just had to take a couple of pictures to celebrate the event. The cute child's handprint in dark green glaze is my Father's hand print from back in 1938. For Father's Day I usually bring this nicely preserved antique child's handprint in and display it on one of the sidetables here in the studio at Glenna's Garden. It is getting muggy again today at Glenna's Garden and the plants are loving it. Finally it is a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon on Memorial Day Weekend! City life in Manchester, NH at its' best!
