SOLD ... thankful ... relievedA commemorative photo of the front garden I greened last November by
planting drought tolerant plants and herbs. See what it looked like last year here.
...and this November, one year later, we will be moving away from our
much loved garden and house of 14 years. Sold. finito. And though I've been
grateful for this little place, I can't describe how much I am looking forward
to trying something new in an even greener territory.
It's been a long time coming and I can't wait.

I love the this house- it looks so inviting! Iam glad you sold it and wishing you wonderful memories in your new home. Where will you be moving to, out of state? This is the second time today I have heard about embroidery. I am thinking of giving this a try. Lord help the friend who tries to teach me! xo
Ahh! Hooray indeed! Congratulations to you and Daniel, Janis!
I missed you!
Congratulations, Janis! To new surroundings!
House looks lovely, and so does the garden... sometimes it's just time to go. And - it's usually great fun with a bit of a change. Just "found you", and love your work! Lilli

Hooray! Evviva! I'm sure your beautiful garden had something to do with you selling your house quickly (it really didn't take very long!). To greener new beginnings! Baci.
Thank you all for your good wishes and shared excitement about our move! I can't wait to cross the bridge (literally, the Golden Gate) so I can share with you fresh creativity and new terrain.
Until then - xoxo, j.
p.s. Marin County :^)
Congrats on the move... a new life ahead!
Congratulation and good luck with your move.
I really like the tiles on your roof. Were you involved in the design of your house, because it looks very nice.
Thanks Ian - The house is Spanish style that you sometimes see in older neighborhoods in California. The house was built in 1932 - wayyy before I was even a twinkle so no, I cannot take credit for the design :^)
J'aime tellement ce petit sachet de lavande ! Bonne route......
Dear Janis,
I am raising a glass to you and Daniel in the successful conclusion of this era in readiness for the next chapter. Its morning here so it will be mandarin juice in the glass... but it will be an indeed be a most heartfelt toast... youv'e had to draw on so much patience ...may things come to you that you had not dreamed of...in the very best of ways...
Enjoy...

Sophie xox

Your front garden work is admirable and lovely. I'm sure you're looking forward to new adventures in your new home. Your little sachet is darling. I have 1 sachet in 1 piece of luggage. We usually carry 3 small pieces when we travel. Luggage pieces 2 & 3 need a little love. I like that you specifically made your sachets "suitcase" sachets--perfect.
Bon courage !
read you soon :)
