this ole' colander was beckoning me"take me home."
do you ever have things call out to you?
i do and it gets me into trouble with dh.
i added this vintage pillow to the red couches in my gathering room.
recently i traveled back to woodbury , the place i found on the way home from camping. i took a few antique shopping friends and my daughter, rachel. we had a lot of fun and we did do some shopping.
sometimes it takes me a while to decide where these
new(for me) antiques will have their place in my home.
sometimes there is even rearranging of furniture to make them look right.
as in this case, lots of peices got moved around.
i knew this lidded pot was going in the potting shed.
i use it to hold potting soil or move things in the garden around.
we used it to hold treats at our harvest party.
i have been looking for a table more suitable for my front porch.
the one i currently have is going into my newly cleaned up craft room
for blogging, crafting, sewing, and scrap booking.
when i found this one i knew it was the one.
i love the old wood on top with the black turned legs.
the fact that it is a drop leaf sealed the deal for me.
now in place i am loving it even more.
i bargined the price to just $79.
which i feel was a great deal.
it fits the place i had in mind so much better than the former round table.
the game board is something called crokinole, we play it on the porch when the weather is nice.
who can resist hand painted pitchers, i have a weakness for these.
the all white one is a mc coy.
two of them have found a home in my front foyer on a mirrored dresser.
this cloche' i found at my local garden center.
i wanted to put it over my beautiful shell.
shells remind me of florida and the beach.
where i grew up.
i have had this beautiful old gate for a while
but i plan to build a whole garden around it.
any ideas?
out in my garden my sunflowers are
beautifully brown especially against the blue sky and ready to feed the birds as it cools down.
i love the look!
my pumpkin plants aren't doing well,
it has been dry and i only have had one smallish pumpkin from the vines.
the leaves are pretty and i love the tendrils.
