SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

This weekend it rained like crazy here down south and lucky for me I had just gotten some of my garden in the ground. I had a big problem with the lovely little ratties in my hood eating my tomatoes last year so... I came up with a new plan this year and they better watch out for Mr. Owlie and the screening that's gonna cut their little lips!

And to bring in with the theme of spring Kibbee Gallery is having an opening this saturday with one of our dear friends Julia Kubica and since they are so close you can walk from our opening, "Disaster Planning" to theirs! ha ha and I guess to bring it all around I was doing some "disaster planning" of my own with those rat proofing tomato cages.

"Sprout" is a drawing based exhibition that embodies the combination of organic imagery and delicate line work. Four artists: Kelly Cloninger, Katherine Gaddy, Julia Kubica and Pam Rogers create works on and with paper that explore landscape and environment, using botanical motifs to make the connection between self and nature. "

7-10 this Saturday night!!

This awesome plant decor, made from recycled soda/beer cans, from Sloth Craft encourages all your bulbies to come out and these great tees from Happy Family will show your garden how much you love them-and we have them right here at YB!

Good gawd allmighty, it's Spring tiiiiime!!!!!!!!

This has by far been one of the longest, most painful winters ever! I try and try to chin up and enjoy it but cold, snow and drizzling rain just ain't my thing! This is the first week in the high 70s and 80s. Atlanta's beloved trees are blooming and people are reclaiming their walks, bike rides,
and restaurant patios.

Some of my favorite Atlanta Spring things to do:
1. Eat Yoforia (and King of Pops popsicles are finally popping up around the city!)

2. Go to one of our many farmer's markets (went to Buford Hwy one last weekend!)

3. Drink on a patio! (Just saw someone drinking one of the locally famous grapefruit rosewater martinis next door at Cafe di Sol.

4. Gardening - time to put in your tomatoes, y'all!

5. Spring cleaning and purging - it's time to remove the
clutter from my life and that includes everything from the piles stacked up on my desk to the negatives nellies in my life - yep, I said it! Make my life better or get out the way!

6. Shop - The season's bright colored dresses, handbags, and jewelry are popping up everywhere I look and I want! I want!

And now, some of my favorite new designs in the shop for Spring!

Push Me Pull You Designs - We have tons of new prints, tee shirts, housewares and cards!

We have tons of new items rolling in for Spring. Come say hi and tell us what ya think!

How do you doo doo?

Hello Young Blood Lovahs,
Haley here. The only blonde at young blood representin!
Wasn't is gorgeous outside today? I am so ready for spring I could burst.
I had to go out and buy new herbs for my garden. I am also very excited about a fairly new veggie co-op right here in metro Atl! They are called " Artichoke Bliss" and I hope other fellow atlantians will get involved. Here is the link to their facebook :

Speaking of spring I wish everyone would look up and appreciate the waxing crescent of a moon above us. Gods little toenail.

Sorry I am on a spring kick but I am totally stoked about the colors chosen for spring/summer fashion.
Pastels and Creams shine through and thank the goddess NO MORE BOHO!
Other trends are sheers, prints, and blazers. Tailored outfits are now in for men and women. I am seriously tickled pink.
Here is some inspiration !












I hope everyone has gotten a chance to check out the bike show. I am so inspired by the variety of unique vision of each eartist. Check back for all the other lovely ladies of the young blood :)
goodnight and sleep tight!
