THIS WEEK'S PICK: JEWELRY BY TONEY TEAGUE

Aren't these gorgeous?  I just loved these bracelets when I saw them!
I've known Toney socially for awhile but didn't realize what beautiful, intricate and inspired jewelry she made until recently. Toney began making jewelry several years ago when she wanted to transform beach glass found on vacation into a birthday gift for a friend.

JOAN'S IN NYC AGAIN...THIS TIME SHE'S WORKIN' IT!

THREE REASONS IT'S NOT TOO EARLY TO THINK ABOUT SPRING...

1. First, the Hudson Valley Seed Library...an Heirloom seed company I discovered through Sally Spillane.  We'll be carrying these Art Packs of heirloom seeds -- attractive, affordable, green gifts to a gardener or to yourself. 

2.  Trade Secrets has announced the dates for it's 10th Anniversary rare plant & garden sale...May 15th & 16th...save the date!

3.  You can bring Spring indoors right now -- learn how to force a forsythia branch to bloom in the middle of February!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK: SLOW-COOKED LAMB SHANKS

From Rogers Gray Italian Country Cookbook by Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers (sadly, it is out of print).   It is an amazing cookbook from my friend, Vicki's, collection.  Dishes like this are samples of recipes that rely on fresh ingredients to make healthful, authentic Italian cuisine.
