My Newest Old Stuff

Sharing my little garden photos from this week; still "installing" old pavers around the beds~~and some of my potted flowers are finally taking off~~


Last year, I bought these two little wooden stools for a couple of dollars~~painted them this spring for the corner of the porch~~



~~and the rusty old pail lets a clay pot fit nicely~~soon the petunias will flower down around the pail~~for July 4th I'll add my little flags here in one of the pots~~


Look what I got today for $5.00 at CC!  A huge antique wood frame~~it has to be fastened back together (hence the plastic ties to each side)~~but, DH says he can fix it~~I see white paint on this real soon~~



Here's that darn shed again!  Okay~~I really wanted this to be my potting shed, but it holds DH's junk (I mean, wonderful tools and power things)~~
However; I had to pretty it up~~still working back here; the new grass is slowly coming in too.  If you look closely to the right window~~all the pink insulation stacked up for the new siding on the house~~I dream of little white curtains at the windows here~~(DH is not charmed by this)~~

My future plans are to add a little deck/stoop in front of the doors and, of course, more bricks to the left side.  More bricks!


Then this next photo~~see that little white shed?  It's the neighbors~~And this is the far side of our north yard where the PRIVACY FENCE is going~~I can hardly wait.  (I like my neighbors, but they don't understand why I stand in my yard taking pictures and setting up little vignettes); I know what they must be thinking: ~~"There's that strange woman again with dishes, flower pots and her camera!"~~~hehe


And, the photo below: another border I worked on Wednesday~~~got these beauties for FREE!  from my son who was going to get rid of them~~and I want to eventually paint the wood fence/gate to match the siding on the house~~


Whew!  What a week~~did a little junking too, but haven't hauled it from the car yet~~I'll save that for next post.  I'm joining these lovely blogs for a great weekend of inspiration~~

    Enjoyed your post! I had to laugh when you talked about your neighbors not understanding about you taking pictures! I do the same thing and my neighbors I'm sure do not understand either! You have a pretty yard.

    The little tables were a great find at a great price. They look wonderful. And I love your brick border. I know what you mean about neighbors staring at you while out taking pictures. Of course at this point, everyone who knows me are always saying, "Diann, did yo get a pictrue of this yet?" whenever we do anything. LOL Thank you for joining TTF and have a fun weekend!

    It all looks so pretty! I love the little white tables with the flowers on them! And that IS a fantastic frame! I don't know -- I really like it propped up against the bird bath -- call me weird but it fits in a quirky kind of way!

    I know how you feel, Patty! When hubby and I bought our little farmstead six years ago, I laid claim to one of the outbuildings. Hubby asked to use it temporarily, until he could get his shop built. Six years later...I'm STILL waiting. lol

    Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday.
