Home Is Where The Work Is...

The hubs has finally finished getting the front yard spring ready...

and it is looking so beautiful. 

The grass came up nice and green with few weeds.

All of the gardens have been edged beautifully, 

weeded and new mulch had been laid in every garden.

We are missing one Azalea going up the driveway.

We have one an extra, in the same color, in the back yard that we are going to move into the bare spot.

The pictures above and below are the gardens up by the front door.

These are Daylilies.

Walking around the backyard, it too needs a bit of work.

The Knockout Roses have a lot of buds.

The Dill from last year is starting to reappear.

There are a lot of these Cornflowers, seeds that I planted last year and have come back this year.

The Viburnum is still in bloom.

Planting the perennial flowers in the front gardens...thats on the agenda for next week.

I checked on the swans today, no babies yet!

The Asbury Park Bazaar

The Asbury Park Bazaar

was recently held in Convention Hall on the Asbury Park Boardwalk.

This bazaar is different from typical craft shows in that the items offered are from

local artists and unusual makers, vintage collectors...also offered were some unusual foods and drinks.

There was live music, popcorn, ice cream, unique food and drinks.

FLEUR de MER

Fresh Flowers

Always Amalfi Boutique

WeirdoughNJ

I loved these 2 people...husband and wife, she makes the sour dough bread, he created the logo.

He tended the booth with her...2 very nice people.

I also met an engaged couple, 2 really adorable people.

She was the creator, he was there supporting her. 

I did not take a picture of them...I was gabbing too much and forgot.

She was selling these book sets, with a bookmarker, canvas bag and stickers.

New Jersey Memorabilia 

Savvy Fit Soap

This cute local soap maker was happy to pose for a picture.

Vintage

Vinyl

Handmade Jewelry

There were some pretty live plants and home baked treats as well.

We stopped for pizza on the way home...that's usually the best part of the day.

On this day, the bazaar was way better for me...

the hubs prefered the pizza.

ooooh and this homemade sourdough bread wasn't bad either.

In fact, it was pretty darn good!

This is my kind of bazaar!
