Spring and early Summer

I love this time of year. Favorite colors, favorite scents.  May weddings.  Our daughter was born in May, on Mother's Day. And everywhere there are scrumptious-shiny days with bright blue skies and cool night air. So, to put a ribbon on the first bobbi  jordan blog, here are some personal loves
 
lilac pink hydrangea blue creamy chardonnay buttercrunch lettuce jane austen 
     green-anything & organic-everything beach & garden weddings rosemary
          pearls & silvery hoops feathery nests adele tunes sugarsnap peas
   





Sweet Mrs. Bobb lived next door and had gorgeous indigo and  blue hydrangeas that popped with color each spring

 
         
 Colors like these inspired the woven gold and gemstone necklace (below) with juicy blue topaz and watery cape amethysts
                                         
Local clients will find similar designs at LaDeDa in the shops of Oakwood


     I have ventured into the world of organic gardening ! Buttery soft and beautiful green lettuce ...More of this irresistible color in August with Peridot gemstones
                                                            

A Spring dream...morel mushrooms sauteed in butter & sprinkled with
                                                 sea salt and a chilly glass of "my precious"--
                                                      La Crema Chardonnay---perfection.

Did you get a chance to put your nose into a handful of Lily of the Valley this year? My own wedding bouquet was dotted with sprigs of it along with fresh white lilac.
