A Clean Sweep

Winter seems to have skipped Berkeley altogether this year. We've only seen a few days of rain, and the daffodils and cherry blossoms are already in full bloom. The springlike weather's got me in the mood to get going on the year's new projects.

Castle in the Air's inventory is our annual chance to really clean house and get everything back in place, giving us an orderly space to dream and do. The clean sweep at the store takes just a few days, but behind the scenes we're still trying to get everything squared away.

It looks like our resident pixies have got their spring cleaning all done, though, and might even be ready to pack for a little vacation! This delightful little bed, chair and suitcase are part of Caron Dunn's Pixie Furnishings class this weekend at Castle in the Air.

If you are finding your own spring cleaning to be a bit overwhelming, come spend a day in the pixies' miniature world. As with most projects in life, it's not how grand a beginning you make, but that you simply begin.
