Happy Earth Day! Today's simple project may be the easiest repurpose I have ever shared. It took me longer to photograph than it did to assemble! Gotta love easy--plus it is fitting for the occasion...

Happy Wednesday! Summer is vacation time which means not only making preparations for your travels but also your home and garden while you're gone. I live in Texas and being away from my garden for a week could mean coming home to dead plants--that's no fun! No worries, I have learned a few precautions to help keep your flowers fresh while you're gone...
Hello Friends! Am I the only one who occasionally holds onto random items thinking, "I might use that for something..."? I will confess that eventually some end up being donated or recycled elsewhere--especially if I happen to catch an episode of Hoarders! However, there are those rare times, when one of those keepers really does serve a purpose and therefore is no longer random. Ages ago, I picked up this Vintage hat stand at a yard sale. I was inexplicably drawn to the ornate free standing metal piece, though I absolutely did not have a use in mind. Enter random item number two; a round brass piece that was stuck in a box of frames a friend gave me. I think it was originally from a chandelier. Though I started to throw it out more than once, it just looked like the finishing touch to something--again I didn't have a clue as to what...
Hi Friends! When I decided to add borders to some small rose bushes near my fence, I wanted to use recycled materials and since I have several roses, decided to try a few different ideas. I often see sweet little china plates for next to nothing and as I've mentioned before, I am a pushover for pretty dishes. I chose mostly floral patterns and I am really pleased with the results. In fact, this border turned out to be my favorite--it makes me think of an English cottage and having tea in the garden!

Greetings Friends! In our busy lives, with our hectic schedules, don't we all need a little breath of the unexpected? In my garden, life is a bed of roses...or at least Rosemary or maybe a little of both! When I walk through the gate, it is my temporary refuge and I love to fill it with whimsical touches...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday! I am always looking for unique garden art. I had my eye on this whimsical metal viola for some time at one of the stores I frequent. When it was marked down 70%, I knew I "needed" to have it! The mirrored window was a previous find and I think they make a lovely couple.
