Description
March in the potager, and the soil finally smells like spring. Tante Odile kneels on a folded towel, trowel in hand, her floral tote beside her crammed with seed packets, string and a thermos of tea. Beans along the fence. Lettuce in rows. Marigolds at the corners to keep pests away, as her mother taught her. A robin hops close to supervise, and she tells it, quite seriously, to mind its own business.
This porcelain bag carries all of that hopeful energy. Its floral painted surface is packed with miniature gardening tools and seed packets, ready for a long day outdoors. Set it on a potting-shed shelf, a sunny kitchen windowsill or a desk where someone dreams of their garden all winter. It is a delightful gift for gardeners, garden club friends, master gardeners and plant lovers. On a gray January day it is a promise of warm soil and green shoots to come, and it looks right at home beside seed catalogs and a watering can.
