Good Old Summertime

Ahhh, Summertime...

I was going to have these incredible flower gardens this year, and what happened???

Maybe -

It's because all of the COOL JUNK I was saving for my garden, I sold at the Garden Sale.

Or-

Because I would rather be spending time with my two Grandkids instead of staying home.

Or_

I'm always building something for the shop, instead of working on my own stuff.

So, I still just have the one fun garden. I do have perennials around the house, but I really wanted to do more gardens this year.

I did keep a few JUNKY items to add to my spaces, but not much.

How did you ladies do this year, did you get more done than me?

"Good Wishes"

Don't have much time to post these days. We are busy, busy, busy. It's like the old saying, "You have to make hay when the sun shines". 

I put this little vignette together this morning. It will probably end up in the shop, but thought it would be a good idea to show.

I have had this bird cage forever. I took the wire cutters and cut out some of the front for a different look. Of course, I sprayed it white. I will have spray paint on my hands till Labor Day, when I can't spray outside anymore. 

I added some fun items, old wheel, string holder, postcard, bluebird figurine, shredded music paper, and old S&P shakers. I just picked up the vintage apron, so I thought the colors would be fun on top to tie it all together.

I love this postcard - I think it just says it all.

These old S&P shakers were a wedding gift to my parents 57 years ago. We never used them, just dusted them.

Have a great day!
