Posted by: BlossomingTree in


A heartfelt thank you goes out to  Petergaye S. Kisielewicz of Yaghie Interiors.  She has been gracious enough to pass on the One Lovely Blog award to Blossoming Tree's blog.  This is especially warming considering I haven't blogged in months.  It is greatly appreciated and means a lot to have readers stick with me even while I take extra long breaks. :-) Thank you Petergaye!

The rules of the "One Lovely Blog Award" are as follows:


Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award. Now it is my turn to pass it along so here are my 15 choices:

NOTE: I am adding only 5 because as I look through my blog list I notice that many have already been recognized. 

5. Pink Lemonade Stand


If you've already done this or don't feel like passing it on, no worries!  It's all in fun.  Just know that I heart your blog. ;-)

Shopping Around For A New Web Host  

Posted by: BlossomingTree in , , , ,

I've been working on my website for the past few days. It hasn't been an easy task. I changed templates a gazillion times and still can't get it published. Sooooo...I ended up deleting the whole thing. Now I'm shopping for a new host. I decided that I want a host that is environmentally conscious and uses wind or solar power as a means of energy. I've come across about a dozen companies that seem to have the functionality that I'm looking for at the right price. However, I must do my research as always. Suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

Long Time...  

Posted by: BlossomingTree

It has been almost 5 months since I last posted. What's been going on? Over that time I've been trying to rework Blossoming Tree. It's been pretty tough on the sales end so I've decided to make several changes, which includes reducing the number of items I sell. The beginning of August will find the Blossoming Tree website in full swing with soaps and a few other items. The focus however will be on soap. It seems there just isn't interest in my facial care items so those are going to be pulled, at least for now. Same goes for the foot care items. Once they are gone, that's it. At least for now LOL. This will also free up lots of time for me to dig deeper into my perfumery studies, which I am so anxious to do. I hope that you all will really like the change that Blossoming Tree will be making. Please stick around and I'll update as I progress.

What's With This Weather?  

Posted by: BlossomingTree

I have been patiently waiting to get started on my mini garden but this weather just won't cooperate. We're in the middle of May and we've had frost advisories the past 2 days. On the upside the week's forecast is looking pretty good.
Once again I am looking to start my locavore project. Better planning will allow me to carry on into the winter months. I'm very excited about it because last year's test proved to be a good learning experience for me. I seriously can't wait to hit all the markets and farms I discovered last year, but didn't have the opportunity to visit.
And, my spring cleaning is in full swing...carpet cleaning and all. Hopefully I can finish up by this weekend.
Back to work...

Mama Bear Awakens From Hibernation  

Posted by: BlossomingTree

Yes, mama bear would be me. It's been a few months since my last post and I figured it was time to start up again (so I won't lose you beautiful visitors to my blog). I've had several personal issues to tend to, along with my business issues, but it looks like things may be looking up on all fronts. The weather here in Michigan has been CRAZY! Warm one day and snowing the next. I've been blessed enough to not have gotten sick through it all. I can't say the same for the husband and kids (poor babies). I started seeds for my very ambitious attempt at a vegetable/herb/flower garden in a very limited space. I have green beans, sugar snap peas, yellow squash & zucchini all waiting to go out. My jasmine tobacco, indian peace pipe, fragrant delight & evening primrose have sprouted. But, alas, the weather won't cooperate. Soon, though, soon. ;-)

Time to go shake the cobwebs from the space between my ears and get back to business hee hee.

Where Is Spring?  

Posted by: BlossomingTree

Let me just say I'm not complaining about the weather.  Not even about the 1-3 inches of snow we're supposed to get.  I live in Michigan.  1-3 inches is nothing to me.  However my lack of patience is showing today.  I'm working on my plans for my herb garden and I'm feeling a bit anxious to plant seeds.  I'm also feeling a bit anxious to go shopping at the nursery.  This year I'm buying as many Lemon Verbena plants as I can.  And I won't care if the clerk comments on me taking all that they have (like she did last year).  I mean, you are in business to sell right?  I have plans for green beans, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, strawberries.  Rosemary, basil, dill, chamomile, catnip, mint, mint, and more mint! Sage and so much more, including several flowers.

OK, I'm going to stop.  This is just feeding into my impatience lol.
