Thom! Why don’t you ever visit? So very glad you enjoyed the blog. Broadway. Gosh, I don’t know? “Fasten your pruner holster, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.”

Irvin
And I thought you were only a Master Gardener and teacher of the lowly volunteer at the IMA. I believe you need to be on your way to the Great White Way. I see a musical in this. Possibly out selling the Producers.

Thanks for all the feedback folks. That Barbie can bring ‘em out. Carol, so good to hear from you. I can’t imagine how I popped up in a search for Dr. Flint. Chris, strong praise from the only other person I know who also did NOT understand why The Hee Haw All Jug Band played instruments other than jugs. Gayle, get the matching shoes. CL, absolutely glue those sequins, pink on ‘Midnight Rose, peridot on ‘Caramel’. Martha, glad to join you on a Spring Saturday night, please visit often. Robin, you have a fabulous thumb in any color and you heart is as big as …. Dolly’s. Anonymous, bless you my child. Despi, indeed the world may be overdue but I need complete creative control. It’s all about selling the brand. Am so glad you still read the blog. Thanks for all your help getting me in the blogosphere.

When is IMA going to create the Irvin Etienne fan club? T-shirts, over-sized button to put on our back packs and a signed 8 1/2″ x 11″ glossy. Maybe a limited edition Irvin doll? The world is overdue….

I love this post.

I had the original Barbie and Ken 50 years ago – for me, it was all about creating clothes and houses for them: I begged wooden crates from the supermarket, carpet samples from flooring stores, wall paper books from paint stores, fabric, beads and anything else from my mother and the neighbors. It was the drive to MAKE STUFF, expressed through B & K.

Now I make gardens, but reading this, I realize that they are lacking Barbie’s glamour. I wonder if I could glue sequins on that Heuchera….
