    I also got a gift certificate for Brent and Becky's bulbs. I can't wait for them to reopen in March.

    Those are gorgeous, she is very talented. Now comes the decision of whether to use them and take a change of breaking or chipping.....or putting them in a glass front cabinet and keep them for 'pretties'.

    What kind of bulbs are you planning on using the gift certificate on.

    They are beautiful. Why are there only 5? Do you have coffee in one already?

    Those are lovely--such talent to make them! Use those cups--every time you pour something into one, you'll think of that sweet granddaughter.

    I would love to have mugs like those. Your granddaughter has a real flair for decorating them. I really like them all but my favourites are the purple and orange ones. I can see myself sipping hot chocolate from them. :-D

    Toni, I think I will use them for soup cups as they are really big. Ashlyn suggested I put plants in them. I might do that also.
    Brent & Becky's is just a few miles from my house. So I will make my mind up when they open in early spring.

    Barb, One got broke in flight here.

    Jane & Eileen, I will use them because she would be disappointed if I didn't. Can you tell how proud of her I am. She's the best.

    I love the cups. They are so pretty! I've ordered from Brent and Beckys before and really like them. What gardener wouldn't like a gift certificate for the! The best though is the fact that your granddaughter is so thoughtful.
