WW: Purple Foxglove Flowers

Common Foxglove Photo
"Among the changing months, May stands confest the sweetest, and in fairest colors dressed."
 - James Thomson

Ogre and I stopped at Cold Stone Creamery last week, and got an unexpected treat while enjoying ice cream - these pretty purple bell-shaped flowers were in the flower box next to our picnic table.

    I've always thought the "freckles" in foxgloves are so pretty. Just be careful there's not a bee in there if you bend down for a sniff!

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet!

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
