Lorene has a great book out called Handmade Garden Projects if you love taking treasured, well-loved items and putting them to new use.

So why is the beautiful Narcissus flower associated with the awful narcissistic personality? Well mythology tells us that Narcissus was a beautiful man who spurned love from all who sought him out because of his own vanity.
