So it's official. Puxatawney Phil did not see his shadow and, according to legend, that means an early spring is on the way.
Of course, here in Texas, it's been lovely weather all weekend, and I've been out in the garden today, trying to get the weed beds, aka flower beds, under control.
So today's post is going to include some gift items featuring spring and garden related images.
First up is this throw pillow featuring richly colored pink Camelias set against dark green leaves. Wouldn't this look great on a chair in the garden room, or on the patio?
Nothing says "spring" in Texas quite like seeing pastures and roadsides ablaze in drifts of bluebonnets. This photo was taken on a country drive out to Washington County a few years ago and I have added it to quite a few items, including this mouse pad and even a night light.

This jigsaw puzzle features a digital painting, based on a photo I took of raindrops on a beautiful yellow rose at the Royal Horticultural Society garden in Wisley, Surrey UK. I think it would make quite a challenge for any gardener to complete :-)

So that's it from me today. Now I'm going to highlight some spring and garden related items by of the other talented designers on Zazzle.
First is this lovely garden planner.
Binders make wonderful garden planners and organizers. Store and organize your seed packages, planting logs, bed diagrams, planting diary, photographs, drawings and sketches, record seasonal rotations... the works! The background painting is a rendition of Vincent Van Gogh's wonderful, Field With Poppies, circa 1889.
Here's another throw pillow that would look right at home on a porch swing or patio chair,. The design is vintage, featuring flowers, butterflies and a bee, which is so important for the Jardin de Fleurs.
This kitchen towel reads Keep Calm and Garden On, in the style of the classic keep calm poster. Leaves are growing from the letters. The background color is green, but it's easily customized to any color of your choice.
This cute little mug, featuring the phrase "I love gardening - very mulch" would make a perfect gift for that gardening friend, or you could just sit and drink your coffee from it while planning your garden chores.
Now it's your turn! Let me see your spring and garden related items!
