[SOLVED] Position text widget to right of header image

I am converting an html only website to wordpress using Atahualpa 3.4.5.1. I have finally been able to add a text widget to my header, but it is positioned underneath the header image (see http://gardenlady.com.s52126.gridserver.com/wp/). I want it to be to the right of the image, and not as high as the image, but centered vertically (see www.gardenlady.com to see how it should look). I think it might involve div or span, but I'm not very familiar with them, so the things I've tried haven't worked.
The other thing is that I want the text widget to appear only on the home page.
Thanks for any help you can give.
