Happy 250th Birthday Banner

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I Love My Country!

Therefore; I'm celebrating her 

250th Birthday

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Making a banner 

for the living room.

I'm still a fan of shabby 

imperfect perfection.

Todays post is 

going to be more about photos 

than words, 

with lots of photos :)

I've also been sewing up 

some new mug rugs, 

from small to large 

and all with a patriotic theme

and I've brought in some items 

from the barn and from storage. 

Enjoy the tour!

  

My old vintage typewriter.

I was delighted to find

this prayer spoken by

our first president

George Washington.

 

Pamela of 

Closed Doors, Open Windows

asked to have a tour

of my kitchen

so since I gave it a few

patriotic touches as well,

this is for you,

Pamela 😊

this is my old fashioned

kitchen in my 

1905 home.

I hope that I didn't 

wear you out with this

extremely long post.

Thanks for visiting 

&

please let me know 

that you where here

I ❤️ reading your comments :)

Your blogging sister,

A Walk Around The Garden

Welcome do my humble blog. 

I thought you might 

enjoy a walk around the garden

with me. 

💗

Before we begin, I would like to 

thank all of you for the sweet

comments on my repurposed

chandelier, from my last post.

I'm doing this post 

over my phone so 

I hope it turns out alright.

The day starts out 

with sheets on the line.

 

Followed by checking the garden for weeds 

and anything that needs watering. 

It's still very early in the season 

and I'm still waiting 

for some things to sprout.  

I can hardly do a post 

 without showing off my clematis, 

it's beautiful this year. 

My bridal veil is just starting to bloom.

I think it's called spirea, 

but I've always known it as bridal veil.

The chives are blooming.

After I took this photo 

I clipped all the blooms off

 so it wouldn't go to seed.

  

 

And of course the peonies

always steal the show.

It's too bad they don't Bloom longer. 

Chamomile is blooming. 

If you were here I'd bake a cake 

and make a pot of tea 🥰

A garden tour would not be complete 

without a photo of my helper 

and my doorbell sign. 

I love them both ♥️

Thanks so much for stopping by

and please leave a comment

I enjoy reading them so much.

Robin Nest & Chandelier

 

Look what I discovered.

I couldn't see in the nest

because I'm a shorty,

but I held my phone up 

over my head and

took this photo.

Do you see the nest,

this robin built it on top of 

the birdhouse.

I guess she wanted a penthouse :)

This  chandelier is one I made for the 

back porch of our old house.

I glued tea cups and saucers

and 

then had battery tea lights inside.

This is what it looked like

when I bought it at 

a thrift store for $10

After removing what I didn't want . . .

I painted it white.

It's been out in 

the shed for years now

& 

some of the tea cups had broken

so I decided to make it over

for my front porch. 

I purchased these at 

the Dollar Tree. 

and this strand of 

solar fairy lights 

on Amazon.

                                                        

                                                       

I just used one strand.

I wrapped the lights around 

each (whatever you call them)

on the chandelier

and down the center pole.

When my little flower pots

where all stuffed 

and hot glued

I added them to the 

fixture. 

Here's the best

night photo that 

I could get with my phone.

I hope that this inspires

at lease one of you

to try repurposing 

something.

It's so much fun!

☔☔⛅☔☔

God bless you all.

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
