I was thinking last night that even though it is
july already that I need to get my wicker out of the potting
shed.
{This wicker hasn't seen the light of day for two or three
years because it is so ragged}
I went to some sidewalk sales yesterday and saw wicker
chairs in even worse shape than mine being used to
display plants.
lightbulb moment...yes I know...I am slow!!
So this morning I cleaned out my potting shed and
wondered why in the world all my goodies were
inside and not out for the world to see so
I started like this.
{can you believe that I just planted these impatiens
today?? Like I said...slow!! }
The shutters were in my booth with shelves
attached and I wanted to use them so I schlepped
them outside also.
{minus the shelves}
Then I thought why not bring out my vintage
plant stand and plant some more flowers
so I did!
{got the roll of wire fencing at the goodwill
some time ago}
Lovin' my plant stand out here
What you can't see is that this table is so beat up
that it
sinks in the middle. I have two stones underneath
the pot on one side to make it level. :)
{a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right?}
I have a few garden pieces by Carruth...are you familiar
with his work?
His studio is in Ohio and I have even had
a few pieces signed.
The wire fencing just looks great with the stand. lol.
Stood back and looked and took a few photos and
then I realized I needed to add some lace. Went in
the house to dig around and found some old
While I was digging around I found these two white
lanterns (minus bulbs) and thought "why not".
So they were added too. I know technically there should
be
three lanterns, but this is what I have.
Definitely not perfect, but I sure had fun playing
today and it is very hot and sticky out!
I am sure I will wonder why in the world I did this
when it comes time to mow again or a huge storm
decides to roll in, but there really
isn't so much that I can't just move it right??.
I purchased my *welcome to my garden* vintage
screen sign when visiting my sister in PA several years
ago. I have used it so much that the paint was really
getting hard to see so I painted over the letters again...
yea not as neat as it was anymore, but oh well.
My little slice of heaven...and I just noticed these were
taken before I added the lace and lanterns. I do everything
backwards!
I love my little shed. She still needs a lot of work.
Only one inside wall is finished and the others still have
the studs, but that is *okay*. Until we get the funds
and time to finish it, I will survive and it may not
be for several years. Hubby also wants to reside
it in vintage looking siding and shaker style
roof or something like that, but we really should
concentrate on our
real house first. ha!
What did you do today?? Did you play house too?
I would love to know.
I am throwing in a few photos of my bicycle too.
a favorite sign
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you
Oh wait...I have a question. Should the wicker loveseat
be centered in front of the shutters or left like it is?
I have tried it both ways and just don't know. :)
