Here’s my latest #garden update on the #farm, y’all. It’s been sad losing the baby birds, but several lived. So far, I’ve only lost 2 plants, a new geranium that didn’t flower and last year’s blueberry bush I’d overwintered in a pot. KY weather was too much for it. My mailbox planter isn’t as festive this summer since I don’t have any Cosmos, but the button flowers are helping to satisfy the butterflies and bees. 2 of my fancy striped Geraniums are growing well, but may need more sun. I think the shallots need to be pulled and eaten now that they are laying down. Not sure about my fingerling potatoes yet. Our tomato plants have produced a few since we purchased last month from the plant sale at @eku_horticulture_club. I’m always learning, despite not being a large scale gardener. I am currently attempting to save my Petunia seeds to see if I can sneakily plant them next year around my shaded driveway entrance. Hubby might not like that though. 😂 Stay cool, de-stress in healthy ways, grab some peace when you can and keep on living! Sparkle on! ✨

I filmed this back in February while sick with pneumonia, so please excuse my voice. Otherwise, lets dig into some sparkly beading supplies that I received from @beebeecraft .
I scored big time with the earrings kit this month, but I also absolutely love the generous amount of strands in the beads I chose. The cutest by far though, had to be the gemstone owl charms! Im excited to show you what I made coming up soon in the next tutorial video.

Special tariff announcement at the end of the video as confirmed in February. A few updates since then, to include a warehouse relocation, but overall, Im still not seeing any price increases. Various beading suppliers are also mentioning the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) [https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/trade-development/preference-programs/generalized-system-preference-gsp] may benefit certain providers for certain components, such as gemstones sourced directly from an accepted country. As with everything, there are no guarantees you wont be charged any customs fees, but so far, Beebeecraft seems pretty confident about handling the change. Since Pandahall has some US warehouse storage and is associated with BeeBeecraft, that may be the reason for the relocation and that may solve the uncertainty later on.
