"There are trees in the desert since you moved out."

I don't think I posted these. Did I?

Anyway, I wasn't supposed to take these pictures. An employee informed me that the owners have strict policies concerning photographs on the premises. She also admonished me that I better be glad that it was she that found me snapping pics and not one of the owners as they could be particularly nasty about it all. Really I knew I probably shouldn't be taking the photos but I just couldn't help myself. Anyway the whole place has been on Martha Stewart Living, so I don't see what the big hoo-ha is. (Oh dear, I really do think I already wrote about this. Hmm.) I am speaking of my visitation to the little jewel of a landscape architect firm and nursery in Austin texas simply called GARDENS.

The place is a dream land for all with a green thumb and an eye for earthy, warm, home decor. These Alabaster lamps were a favorite find.

To say the least I was fascinated with the place. And struck with the beauty I saw all around. Gardens in Austin, and the paper store on knob hill in Albuquerque are probably my two favorite shops of all time. Here are a few more pics for your enjoyment. Love to you.
