Who Is Anastasia?

New Castle, Indiana Zone 5, United States
When I was 55, I decided to embrace the things I love and hold precious and dear, regardless of anyone else's thoughts and opinion. I am a visual folk artist who loves flowers - my own flowers, grown and/or painted by me. I love good, hearty, exotic foods, and I love to prepare them myself. I love the secret garden situated in my backyard, regardless of how overgrown and wild it gets. No longer able to afford a vacation, this will have to be it for the time being. In the winter months, I still enjoy it. Anyway, here I am sharing my art, favorite recipes, cocktails, gardening tips, and just my usual vents and bantering. After all, I'm old enough to say whatever the heck I want to now ...

Open for Business

My new Etsy Store (Buns 'N Roses) is finally open for business. On this site, I will be selling my Fantasy Corsages, which are all hand crafted from recycled items. At some point, I will also take orders for breads/muffins, but not at this time. I'm focusing on the Fantasy Corsages, which have been quite successful locally.

Should you know anyone who would be interested in a one-of-a-kind corsage, hair ornament, hat or whatever, PLEASE send them to Buns 'N Roses.

The Backyard --Today's Vacation Spot

The Backyard --Today's Vacation Spot
A simple garden meal in the shade. No, it's not my backyard, but it looks identical to the one I grew up with at our home in Queens. Looking for an original pic of it to post soon!
