How pretty is that?! Just love the girl...Hi Sandy!<br /><br />How pretty is that?! Just love the girlyness of it, and you can make something with the fabric when you get tired of it in the bookcase. I made HUGE roll up blinds with fabric soaked in starch... way back in the early 70"s. They were dandelion yellow to go with my black pleather sofa and glass and chrome tables... eek!<br /><br />About the lilac... they need good drainage and you have been darn near flooded this winter. They also bloom on last years growth so never trim to too much or to late in the season. They do best with a cold winter but nee sun. Don't fertilize it too much either... I hope it gets better soon.<br /><br />Thanks for joining the party again this week!<br /><br />xoxo Bunny JeanBunny Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687082260887039604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560101349671834310.post-88515144412535959492012-05-01T19:57:54.392-07:002012-05-01T19:57:54.392-07:00Oh, this is so sweet!
