a vintage door & a petite Christmas tree
I am sharing a little bit of Christmas magic on the back patio. The weather has been fantastic here in Northern California; perfect for sprinkling a bit of Christmas fairy dust outside.

container gardening 2020
This is just a light post to show the gardening containers I have potted so far this year {still the weirdest year ever}.
