Ok, I may be slow at getting around to things.... but my excuse for not having read the Dec/Jan issue of my MJF mag is cuz it got buried under a stack of "Must-Do's"..... I just found it, after finally cleaning up my desk! lol!
Any how, decided I would sit a spell, & read it while having lunch...
Now for the "confession" part,,,, I was reading the article on the "Buggy Barn" which by the way is only 13miles up the road from my house.... I usually go to the BB Quilt show each year,,,but was not able to this year due to a conflicting schedule.... bummer...
However, I do have a little bit of the 'Buggy Barn' in my garden... yep! I pillferred a couple of Hollyhock pods from the Hollyhocks you see to the right of the fabric shop,,, umm, & if I recall, Dairyprincess & kpaints were there to wittness it.... 
If you are ever up in the Spokane area, the BB is a must see....they have awesome fabrics and kits and they also offer a wonderful aray of classes.
Well know that you know my dirty little secrete, that I am a 'Seed Rustler' ya better watch your plants when I come to visit! lol!

Good grief! I'm still working on the October issue. I'm hopelessly behind. But I do like your seed pilfering! Can't wait to see what your flowers should look like!

Oh CJ,,,
that is soooo sweet....hugz
I first got the idea for seed rustleing many many many years ago after reading an garden mag.article about "Rose Rustlers",,, a group that goes to old abandoned farms & take cuttings of old heritage roses, many of which were nearly a century old. Back when families, lived 2-3 generations on the same family farm, unlike today where society has become very migratory.
I have been known (much to the chigrin of DH) to take Geranium cuttings (I asked first) when hubby & I took our evening walks up the hill to our favorite Ice Cream establishment(back in SO.CAL.)... I double scored.... geranium cuttings & 2scoops of RockyRoad ice cream! Color me Happy!
