My Favorite Andy

My long-time pretend boyfriend, Andy Griffith, has passed today at 86. I'm sad and I'll miss him.

Enjoy this wonderfully sweet youtube clip of Andy singing the Andy Griffith theme song.

For those who know me, it's no secret how much I love the Andy Griffith show. Well....actually I love the black and white Andy Griffith show. I don't think it held the same wonderful-ness after it went to color.

Of all of the absolutely fabulous episodes that I never tire of watching - the clip below is my ultimate, favorite episode of all. It's a hoot! Check it out and hear about "Horatio".

Why The Lavendar Tree?

Where did The Lavendar Tree come from? Well, let me explain.

LAVENDAR: I've always had a purple passion. I think it arrived the day I was born. It was only natural that purple came into play somewhere in "my name".

I like the way "lavender" sounds - but for some reason, I think everyone else spells it wrong and it really should be spelled "lavendar". :-)

TREE: My grandmother was an incredible fiber artist - I believe way before the words "fiber artist" ever existed. She was an extremely talented quilter, knitter, crocheter and could embroider like no one's business. She had a talent for the satin stitch to die for! My grandma helped encourage my passion for crafting and stitching when I was very young.

I fondly recall one sunshiny day, standing at my grandma's kitchen window and seeing the tree leaves sway back and forth in her orchard. She said the leaves were "waving" at us. I loved that. (Note: I have found that birch trees make the happiest wavers!)

THUS: The Lavendar Tree.
