Against my better judgment I ordered from QVC Cottage Garden Farms trio of live dwarf lavender…read moreplants. They were very pricey but I took a chance because I liked the idea of being able to grow lavender in my area in pots. Also because there was a 1 year warranty I thought it was worth the risk. Well sure enough the plants failed. Prior to the end of the warranty period I emailed Cottage Farms with proof of purchase and described the issue. Within a few days I received a response indicating a replacement would be sent after processing. Well that was about 6 weeks ago. I have sent 2 or 3 follow up emails asking for a timeframe for when I will receive the replacement. Each time the response is vague and states they cannot give me an indication of when it will be shipped but I will receive a notification when it ships. Today the response included a statement that processing takes 10-15 days. Well it has been 6 weeks and it is Springtime, which means there should be no objective reason not to ship the replacement. For this reason, I will never again order from this company and do not recommend them. It is also interesting to note that when I searched their website I do not see any dwarf lavender plants for sale. So, buyer beware. At this point, I doubt I will ever receive the replacement which will mean that the company does not honor their written warranty. Shameful.

We were drenched and decided that some hot coffee on the way out of town would be just the thing. Aquamos Coffee Collaborative to the rescue! It's in downtown Waupaca, so the parking is basically street or street angled parking. My husband was able to find a spot to sit with the car and camper while I ran in and got our coffee. Since it was lunch time and I noticed what sounded like a pretty stellar breakfast sandwich on their menu, I ordered us a couple of those as well. For our coffee we got the caramel roll latte (caramel-y, ever so slightly cinnamon-y deliciousness). They also have alternative milks, if you so desire. The breakfast sandwich was a sesame bagel with chipotle mayo, egg, bacon, and sharp cheddar--it was super flavorful and absolutely delicious. Oh...and I believe they're dog friendly. We were warmed up by the hot coffee and kickin' eats in no time. Thanks Aquamos! Get to it!
