My Avocado Trees

I love avocados…I love making guacamole, and now I love growing avocado trees.

That's right, I'm growing trees! Cool right??

Anyway, I started growing the first seed a few weeks ago and it has since grown a shoot about six inches high! I'm so excited to be growing a tree, it's ridiculous. I drive my family crazy with all of the tree updates :) The other day I made guacamole and gained two more pits to grow.

Of course, it's entirely possible that they'll never bear fruit. If they do, it might take somewhere around 10 years for the first fruit to appear.

But I don't care, I just think it's awesome watching them grow :)

If you'd like to learn how to grow your own avocado tree, check out this article here.

Jason Mraz Webisodes - A Day With Jason & Toca

"…after that, I start to forage…"

"…is it gonna be a whole salad, half a salad; half an enthusiastic salad…"

"…or I'll find a shower…"

"…I guess, if you wanted to…you could take a 7 hour shower…"

"...I'd hate to have to be the person that has to dust this place…"

Toca you're hilarious.

My Etsy Wishlist

So I'm sure you all know by now that I love Etsy.com. The unique items you can find there make it a great place to go for inspiration and just for some really cool stuff.

I find myself mostly purchasing/viewing jewelry, but they have everything and I've also purchased curtain pullbacks and plan on purchasing some new drawer pulls for my vanity in the near future.

I love purchasing items I know were handmade. The satisfaction I get from buying from an artist directly is a great feeling.

Below I've posted a few pictures (with links) of some of my most recent Etsy favorites/finds. These are only a few!! I could spend days on this site, finding tons of things I like, but I thought I would just show you a few here.

Enjoy!
