Spring is coming for sure, because I'm starting to look for the daffodils. Pass an old abandon house and a large old barn every day on the way to work. One couldn't tell where the driveway was, except for the row of daffodils that blooms every spring along each side of the barely visible two track. The barn is falling down, and long since given up its treasures. The house is small and also beyond repair, but the daffodils still come up every year. Some how I know the lady who planted them wore chintz house dresses with aprons. She baked pies, and made lemonade from real lemons. She had grandchildren, and she planted flowers. I know her because my grandmothers wore chintz house dresses with aprons and planted flowers. Thanks to her for reminding me about the simple wonder spring brings.

Another sure sign of spring, is the opening of Best Friends Antiques on Saturday, April 2nd! We have gathered new treasures over the winter months that include a beautiful iron bird cage stand and a unique iron plant stand. We found a cupboard with 1930' green paint that needs a watering can full of daffodils and pussy willows on top. Other winter discoveries include new crocks, benches, one more blanket box, a green kitchen table from the fall Breckinridge show and a few unique architectural pieces that will complement both garden and indoor decor.

Plan to come and help us welcome spring!
