Folksy Friday - Gardening Made Easy...

Now, I am not famed for my green fingers... Unfortunately we do not have a very big or inspiring garden, but I do like to at least try to grow things!  This week the Amaryllis bulb I was given at Christmas has sprung into life in a major way, I have acquired a new succulent for my desk (trying to break away from my only successes to date - money plants), the fiscus I bought for the lounge is still hanging on in there (known to be fussy little blighters) and I have noticed some very brave daffodils nosing their way out of the soil in the front garden.  So really, for me, things are positively blooming!!

It may be a little early to think that spring has truly sprung yet, but I am certainly getting the verdant vibe to chase away the post festive season mid-winter blues; so I was inspired to look at all things plant and gardening related on Folksy this week.  Yes there are items for real true gardeners, but also for us armchair wannabe's, as well as a couple of pieces for those who just want to celebrate the growing season... I hope there is something for everyone!

Folksy Friday - A Celebration of all things Lime...!

As regular readers will know, I am changing name and re-branding as The Lime Garden.  This is the same blog as before - all those gorgeous Folksy Friday finds - just renamed, and as of today a new look too!  My online gallery and shops go live on Wednesday 1st September (just 5 days away!) and as a celebration of things to come, I have decided to dedicate this week's Folksy Friday to all things Lime...

Out with the Old... And in with the New!

I am going through a transition period...  Bohoboutik (bohochic-boutique) will soon be no more, and I will be replacing it with...  The Lime Garden.

This will be a bright, fresh, new take on my original venture, but with a pared down product range, improved and enriched by new, quality variations.  This blog, Twitter, my website, Facebook, and my online shops at Folksy and Etsy, will all receive the make-over treatment - and by 1st September (gosh, it's getting close now!) I will be all changed, online and ready to go!!

I hope my loyal "followers" (on whatever platform) will follow me over to this exciting new playground, although I do accept that inevitably a few stragglers will be lost along the way.

I have created a new page on Facebook, to chart my progress and keep you all informed - so I would be thrilled if you could pop on over (here) and show your support by "liking" my page.  And once I am up and running properly, it will become a fully interactive page for the new business.

I have been touched by the following I have achieved in the short time I have been active on the web - just 4 months by the time The Lime Garden opens it's doors - and I hope that all the friends and associates I have made will do me the honour of bearing with me over the next 10 days, hang on in there, and see that it is still the same old me... just new, improved and a little better!

So... watch out for The Lime Garden where you used to see Bohoboutik, and join the migration!
