It will not
always be summer;
build barns.

Good GRACIOUS... time surely doesn't wait for anyone, even in the garden... it seems to be in a ZIPPY hurry! Especially when YOU have creative projects JUST sitting about... waiting for that PERFECT timing! Well... honey, I'm a gardener's testimony, you've gotta take hold & JUST create! Those WEEDS will wait, they'll STILL be there, don't you worry your PRETTY, little apron to shreds about that one! |

Oh, garden goodness... do I create NOW, yes... it's pleasing to the soul, to release... ALL these originals! Sharing the DEEP love for ole' worn picks, that have been transformed into garden decor, NOT only for sight, BUT functional as well! |

For several years now... old, cake carriers have been my DEEP love! And here recently... VINTAGE, metal/tin bread boxes have wiggled into the collection of goods, ALL for the same purpose OR re-purpose project! In EACH photo you can gain an idea of what's being created to result in one, TRULY delightful piece! |
 |
The possibilities are BEYOND imaginable with THESE beauties! THIS particular one, stole my heart... with the color & patina it offered from the get-go! BUT... I'm happy to announce, it went to a LOVING home for a farm table centerpiece... throughout the summer months! |
 |
ANYTHING goes when it comes to planting... I prefer to nestle & tuck in annuals among perennials & herbs! And for the LOVE of Succulents... adding these will JUST enhance the over-all, finished piece! Oh... JUST a moment, Sedum was almost forgotten... these are known as 'Spillers' & add a WHIMSICAL interest along the edge as they tumble out along the container/planter! NOW... unless you have some stashed away OR happen to have Aunt Susie's, which has seen it's better days... I suggest YOU get to plundering about the JUNK shops, THRIFT stores & swap meets... in order to find that prized... cake carrier/bread box for some time WELL SPENT in the garden! Sunday BLESSINGS... from the farmhouse! |
