End of Week Favorites, Thomas Jefferson Seed Sampler

March 30, 2012

My Mom instilled in me a love of gardening. Hailing from Virginia she’s also fascinated with Thomas Jefferson. I think this historic seed collection featuring vegetables grown by Thomas Jefferson and harvested at Monticello would make a great gift for Mother’s Day.

And a few favorites from around the web this week: *Alabama Chanin – A Cottage Industry Success Story via Etsy * Lauren Moffatt blouses via frolic * What’s In Your Toolbox: Erin Scott via design*sponge * Do Your Dream – Cory Bordonaro via Great Smitten
