Happy Wednesday, Friends! Labor Day has passed, kids are back in school and even though it may be awhile before the weather feels like Fall, I am ready to say Farewell to Summer! I decided to take a late summer stroll through the garden, camera in hand...
The first thing to catch my eye was the way the ivy formed a backdrop for my little red bench. I found the Vintage phone at a yard sale for $1.
She looked like this...until I gave her a new aqua coat :)
A closer peek....
Isn't this purple basil a stunner? I just cut some for drying and gathered seeds for Secret Garden Herbs.
A mini dress form is the queen of hearts...and rosemary!
Lovely lavender is gorgeous in bloom with its heavenly scent...
Now we've come full circle...I think the tiny white pumpkins are a good transition.
Hello Fall!
MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR FEATURING THIS POST:
Love your red bench! Oh I'm ready for some Fall weather!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty photos! That red bench is great, and it will transition beautifully into the Fall colors.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job in recoloring the retro phone, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stroll through your garden. Just lovely. Looks like you may have gotten a sprinkle of rain. Hope my lavender in the garden will grow.
ReplyDeleteLove the little phone.
Blessings,
Audrey Z.
