It feels like Monday...

Addison is down for a nap, perfect time to post! I hope everyone had a nice weekend...We had a very good one. Our family took my Mom to brunch and then on to four different cemeteries and placed flowers on the graves andwe all reminisced...Cemetery hopping is not that bad. It was good to be with loved ones who were all feeling the same about the ones we have lost..We visited big graveyards and a very special small one where my Mom's sister is buried, it is out in the country in the middle of nowhere on a hill and all around it was green lush farmland, the air was fresh and it was beautiful sunny day. My Mom was happy... We also got all of our planting done this weekend! yeah! and of course can't forget a picture of our Guard Cat(Skippy) hiding in the ferns keeping watch!
The weekend went to fast! and it feels like it is Monday....

great idea...

Just another great idea that Country Home has come up with...Matching wicker plant stands that serve as the base and then they added glass to the top and it becomes a desk, they also added glass on the sides and used them as shelves. Clever. I have one wicker plant stand in my summer porch...I guess I know what I will be hunting for at the next flea market! I hope everyone has a relaxing Memorial Day weekend! what are your plans?

A lazy afternoon

It's a rainy dreary day here today...what else is there to do but lounge around on the living room floor! Hope your day is going great....

Garage sale table

Here is the table I got garage sailing on Sat. (It is the picture on the far left) It needs to be stained and varnished but for now I think I will just leave it natural,I love it..it is square nailed and has a bread board top and it looks good in my garage studio with my white chairs. My garage studio has now become the playhouse...my great nieces play in there for hours! they invited me to their tea party and we sat and drank tea around the coffee table. They are so sweet!

a beautiful day...

The sun was shinning bright this morning as my sister in law and I hit the road to attend 70 garage sales! We got there at 7:45 and by ten o clock we were ready to get out of there...you could hardly drive thru the streets. (very crowded)I got a great primitive pine table that will work nicely in my garage studio as a sewing table..it was only 25.00. And of course bags of to cute baby clothes for Addison..I can not resist baby shoes! and I always find a purse or two. I will post a picture of my table later.. Then my husband and I were off to the Minnesota landscape Arboretum...we must of walked ten miles! It was gorgeous! The azalea's were in full bloom and I took this picture of these beautiful pink tulips mixed in between the lime green hostas, a great combination. After we couldn't walk anymore (I knew I shouldn't of worn my flip flops) we had a little lunch and I got home just in time to go see the movie Shrek 3...with three of my great nieces and nephews and their Moms. It was a good movie, a little slow at first but the kidlets loved it.I will always like Shrek 1 the best. After a long day my screen porch is calling me..time to relax.

garage studio

I thought I would post a little corner of my garage studio...I spent most of last Sat. cleaning it up and putting it together. What fun! felt the creative juices revving up again! I have a full wicker set out there with lots of old architectual pieces and old doors and windows. My little great niece calls it the fort! I am putting a screen door on the side entrance to keep the mosquito's out, it is a nice place to sit on a rainy or windy day!
