I like to support local and non corporate artisans by buying from small shops, antique shops, galleries, thrift stores, shops that feature artisans from third world countries, craft markets or directly from the artist.

I love the smell of newly warm earth, the first spring flowers and the chance to start wearing my light weight and brightly colored clothes.

Even wtih our reduced budget we still by premium coffee......and treats for the pets!

Definitely a denim shirt, suede skirt with boots and lots of turquoise jewelry to go along with my cowboy hat! Only a great western look would do for an occasion like this.
