Here in Smalltownland I visit my beautician for my monthly coif and she does a bang up job.....every time. Not only is she famous for her hair skills she is also the quintessential gardener. This is just a mere peek at her skills.
Her beauty shop is in her home and each spring I look forward to her garden, as do many other people. 
She dispenses garden advice for free and the inside of her home is just as fabulous as the outside. She is her own Martha Stewart.
At my latest visit she counseled me on my paint choices for some summer projects.
Yes, she owns her own paint samples.....
Somehow I doubt she will actually do the painting for me.
wow! she's a keeper!!! LOVED all her baskets of plants/flowers! beautiful grounds! Edward Scissorhands... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to have friends like this...Talented friends are always welcome at my place..
ReplyDeleteFree advice is the BEST...She may start charging if you decide to drop in each week for a bang-up job in order to get her Free gardening tips!
Have yourself a terrific weekend...
Blessings..
A beautician with a beautiful garden, I would bring my wife there and I hang around the garden for photography !
ReplyDeleteI love having people in my life who know what I want to know! What a great resource, and it looks like she could give anyone a couple starts if they wanted to try their hand at gardening!
ReplyDeleteI loved her baskets too! Up here, I could tend to them all summer and I don't think they would get that big. I wish I had a keen gardener to learn from close by.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what she could do with a hay bale after seeing this garden. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm way overdue for a trim!
She gets the grand prize for gardening for sure. I'm amazed each spring...somehow she outdoes herself every year. (I always have to check on which book she's reading as well.)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish I had a green thumb and could produce a garden like that! I love the fountain. But, I DO own my own paint sample book. My dad gave me one a couple years ago. Of course, then Porter had to go and create a whole new one so mine is now outdated. :(
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. She does good work. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, at least she's not in prison. I thought of Scissorhands too.
ReplyDeleteHi..I came over from Go West..Ferel woman. I had to laugh..I have my own paint sample tablet...looking forward to reading your past and future posts.
ReplyDeleteConstance - I should have mentioned that she is a voracious reader as well. I always check her current book and she gives me great suggestions.
ReplyDeleteWow, she really IS her own Martha!
ReplyDeleteAs a former hairdresser myself, I must say, we all love color and creating with it! Great to have a friend like her to bounce off ideas:)
ReplyDeleteI love all those ferns in the hanging baskets! It must be a lot of work keeping them alive throughout your winters!
ReplyDeleteThis must transform the "chore" of a coif visit into an enjoyable experience.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a wonder woman. :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous baskets and what beautiful garden... Lucky to have a person like her around you.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful sunday:)
Wow! Must be an absolute pleasure to go there for your haircuts!
ReplyDeleteah — small town life breeds multi-talented people!
ReplyDeletePretty gardens...and I bet she WOULD paint for you if you asked.
ReplyDeleteWow, are you ever lucky! I wish I had a beautician/gardener/Martha Stewart clone as a friend! But I only get my hair cut twice a year, I'd have to start going more often. LOL
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
PS. I'm going to add your blog as one of my FAVES on my blog.. I just love yours. :-)
What a lovely garden -- some people are just so talented.
ReplyDeletelove her garden...if she's half as good at hairs as she is at plants...you are very lucky...
ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing garden. People pay to see things like that here in the UK !
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! I love our hair dresser too and love the time I spend there when I get to.
ReplyDeleteBut she's not a gardener... What a treat for you!
