In my diminishing free time lately I’ve engaged in occasional reflection. Things we’ve learned in the few years of doing this soap and flower thing:

1. Cats help sell things. Even if your cat has no teeth and drools (as darla here does), he/she will bring customers in, and they will make purchases.

2. Nail polish is an excellent way to come up with color ideas. It really is. Get your nails did, then watch color combinations appear all through out your day.
3. Pink and green always go together.

4. The best gardens in the city are probably right in your neighborhood. Our neighbor Rachel keeps this beautiful garden in front of LeNells. She’s out there often teaching passersby about how to grow things themselves, which adds so much to its beauty.

5. With regards to styling, of which I really know little about, I’ve noticed that sometimes leaving your personal junk in the mix makes the scene that much better. Here, as in my farm market spoils, or Eric’s crack viles.
