Hello Dear Friends
&
Welcome to my garden :)
Some of the morning glories
are starting to bloom.
As well as other flowers
and the blackberries 😁
🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸
This year I made
a new scarecrow.
Starting with a chair,
a wig head form,
and a pool-doodle.
Last week there was a
neighborhood yard sale
just a 1/2 mile from where
I live and I found two
outstanding finds.
First this pretty wooden
wall plaque.
I added it to my headboard.
$1
Then this used once and didn't
like rice cooker with a steamer
basket.
I love it!!!
$2.50
🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸
Well, that's my post for today.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I wish there was a way
to have a glass of lemonade
and a dish of cookies
to share when you visited.
🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸
God bless you all!
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Great finds! Love the sweet lady 😉 sitting in your garden. I thought for a moment that you were starting a Susan Walker doll.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that is but I'll have to Google it and see. Thanks for stopping by 😊
DeleteAll your flowers are pretty. That scarecrow is absolute genius. I love it. What a clever way to put it together. You found some great deals at the yard sale.
ReplyDeleteI truly found some great deals. I don't need to keep buying stuff but these were unbeatable and just had to come home with me especially at those prices.
DeleteYou found some bargains today! I have a rice cooker too but dont use it as often as I should.
ReplyDeleteMy old rice cooker is about 20 years old and though it still works good I have thought about replacing it. Now I have and for only $2.50. 😁
DeleteYour garden is looking great!! Our morning glories aren't blooming yet, but soon I hope!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarecrow!
Thanks Mari and thanks dropping in. I was just reading your latest post about 10 minutes ago. My those granddaughters are certainly growing up into beautiful young ladies. It's been fun watching them grow from toddler to now ☺️
DeleteOh, I have that exact same Rice Cooker ! I LOVE mine, too. Use it ALOT. Your lady scarecrow is awesome. Dawn P. Albany, GA
ReplyDeleteThank you Dawn and thanks for visiting my blog today. It's always fun to have someone new visit 😊
DeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteI love your scarecrow! She's beautiful and I never, ever would have thought of doing that. Brilliant! The flowers are gorgeous too. We're beginning our journey west. Left yesterday and camped in Mitchell, SD. Now we're almost to Rapid City and will camp in Buffalo, WY tonight. Tomorrow we'll make it to Helena, MT and see our son and Grandkids. We're so excited. It's been a year since we saw them, except in photos.
ReplyDeleteTake care my dear friend.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Safe travels, I will put you both in my prayers. Thanks for stopping by to visit and enjoy your trip.
DeleteOh, I cannot take credit for the idea of how I made my scarecrow lady; I got the idea on Pinterest ☺️
Sorry I was reading your comment and you mentioned Mitchell, SD. My niece and her new husband just moved there last month. Never heard of the place until then and now you camped there.
DeleteWow, that's quite a classy scarecrow! I love it!! And I love your garden flowers and pretty things. And that rice cooker is a steal of a deal. I have one that we use all the time, but only for the rice. I do have a steamer basket with it, but I've never used it! Huh! Now you make me want to pull it out of the cupboard and try it! Thanks! I would love to sit down and have a glass of lemonade and cookies with you! That would be so lovely!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI put my veggies on at the same time that I started the rice, the peppers were perfect but the broccoli was over cooked, next time I'll wait and put them in about ten minutes after I start the rice.
DeleteBrillant scarecrow idea, Connie. I love it. My scarecrow has seen better days! Love all your flowers♥
ReplyDeleteThanks, I can't decide if I like her or if she's a bit tacky. Oh well, it's all in fun :)
DeleteI'd like to share some cookies and lemonade with you too. :). Your flowers are beautiful. Very impressed with your scarecrow!!! It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, thank you :)
DeleteI LOVE your scarecrow lady! She looks perfect. Nice score with that rice cooker.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm loving it. My old one was just like it only it didn't have a steamer basket. And it's somewhere between 15 and 20 years old. I was delighted to find this one and at this great price.
DeleteHi Connie, your flowers are all gorgeous and I love them all! I'm envious that you are getting blackberries already! I don't think any bushes around here even have green berries yet. Boy we sure do live in different climates! It must be the dampness here that slows things down, although my veggies look like I live in Alaska! My two tomato plants are taller than me and are huge bushes! My cukes are taking over everything from just 3 tiny little plants. They do love this particular climate. Your scarecrow lady is just darling.. the birds may just love her so much they'll come and light on her hat and visit your garden! The chair is so perfect, and the noodle makes perfect arms! Your yard sale finds are so perfect for your needs. I did have a brand new rice cooker but gave it away when I moved here. Just never did use it as was easier to just put my kettle on the stove and boil the water and add the rice. For steaming veggies, I just nuked them! I'm lazy I guess. :-) Anything less I have to wash, the better. Our summer sure is strutting right along isn't it???? Hugs and blessings to you! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteMy tomatoes are so small, except for the cherry tomatoes. Doesn't really help me anyway cause I can't eat them. The cukes are blooming but not producing fruit. It's a strange year.
DeleteThanks for stopping by, it would be nice to see you again, your always welcome here.🏡
What a nice coincidence...I also posted Morning Glories today. But mine are just beginning to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI like your cute lady scarecrow 💗. You found some great yard sale items and for so cheap too. Thrifting is a lot of fun!
I saw your blog today and I love the photo of you standing between your gorgeous morning glories.
DeleteYour gardens are beautiful and I love your scarecrow lady! You're so clever and talented. Great finds at the garage sale.
ReplyDeleteI truly did find some good stuff at the yard sale, I really like both fines. I haven't decided if I like my scarecrow or not. Maybe if I move her to a different spot in the garden next year :)
DeleteThe wreath with the morning glories is so lovely, and I love your scarecrow, very creative of you! Great finds at the yard sale too, how great to find new goodies at a great price. My hubby picked up some dies at the thrift store for me the other day and surprised me with them :)
ReplyDeleteThey say one man's trash is another man's treasure, and isn't that so true 😊
DeleteWhat great finds and you always make things better with your artistic flair! I have some iced tea for you when you visit down South. But don't come yet...TOO HOT! lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe wouldn't it be fun to visit you and go on one of your amazing trail walks. I'm afraid I'll have to do it through following your posts, which I find amazingly interesting. Have a sweet day my friend and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteHi, Connie! I came by to say thank you for your sweet message this morning - thank you!! But what I found was so delightful I stayed awhile! LOve your fabulously chic scarecrow and everything pictured above and below her, too!
ReplyDelete=]
That's so sweet, thank you ☺️
DeleteSuch an enjoyable post. Love the flowers, but that scarecrow is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like her 😊
DeleteHow lovely your flowers, especially your morning glories are! I absolutely love your scarecrow, how very creative and clever! I would love to have lemonade and cookies with you! blessings, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI just finished mowing the lawn and I'm sitting outside in the shade under the apricot tree in my hammock swing. It would be great if you were here for lemonade and cookies, thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments.
DeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteThank you 🥰
DeleteHi Connie, thanks for coming by Marmelade Gypsy. I'm so impressed by your garden. And especially that fantastic scarecrow -- she's wonderful! SO creative! You had some great finds, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Jeannie and for your sweet comments about my garden and scarecrow 😊
