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.

Recycled Tea Cups, Saucers and Odd Dishes

 I know that everyone

has seen these glue and dish

projects . . .

they are all over Pinterest.

That is what I did this evening 

and thought I would share. 

Good old E6000 glue.

One for a candle.

An another for a bar of 

heavenly smelling soap.

This soap was a little gift

from a friend 

and I wanted to place it

on something special.

It's what started my whole 

craft project :)

That's my post . . .

short and sweet.

Have a lovely weekend

&

God Bless You All

Project Reveal!

 

🌷🌱🌷

Do you remember four posts 

ago I teased you with a few photos 

from a new project I'd started.

🌱🌷🌱

Today is my reveal,

I'm very excited to 

show it to you! 

All of this furniture 

is pretty old 

some of it over 20 or 25 

years old and the cushions 

are still functional but 

just aren't pretty anymore.

I've been covering them for 

many years now.

This is how they look 

without covers.

This is my stack of

slip covers.

Plus a little footstool

that used to be in our 

little motorhome

15 years ago.

It's brown and has storage

inside, but now it's covered, too :)

Warm weather has been sneaking 

into our part of the woods 

on and off for the last few weeks. 

Some days are warm and some days 

are still cold, 

but I'm ready for enjoying 

my front porch.

This project started with 

a set of old sheets. 

The bottom one was pretty worn

 but the top one was still nice 

so I used it 

(the white with the little rose buds) 

and added some big flower fabric 

that I got at Walmart 

plus a few whimsical panel pieces 

that I bought at a local fabric store

 a couple weeks ago.

The panel had 6 adorable squares

I used 3 of them on the porch :)

.I was with my sister-in-law 

and she said, 

"that fabric is you, Connie". 

So after thinking about it 

I decided she was right and bought it. 

It turned out to be the finishing 

touch that I needed for this project.

These are thrifting finds,

that I found just this week.

Well my porch looks very girly 

and makes me think I need 

to have some friends over for 

a tea party 

or 

at least lemonade and cookies. 

There's always a lot of hard work 

to do this time of year 

but I'm learning that I have to stop, 

take breaks and enjoy 

the simple pleasures in life.

 I think my new redo 

on the front porch is going 

to bring me a lot of pleasure 

this year and I made them all 

like pillow cases 

so I can take them off 

and throw them in the washing machine 

when I need to.

 

I wish I could have 

each and every one of you 

over to just sit and relax. 

Put your feet up, 

drink a cool drink 

and 

have sweet conversation. 

🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷

God bless you all 

and 

Happy Spring!

The Simple Life

Do you remember 

when every backyard had a clothesline . . .

and laundry day smelled like sunshine?

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

I'm an old soul . . .

that has always been drawn to the

simple pleasures in life.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

Sitting on the porch.

A glass of cold lemonade.

A fresh bouquet picked from the garden.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

The song of a bird.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

 

Give me the simple pleasures

in life . . .

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

Relaxing in the evening

with a good book 

or an old movie . . .

feet up, dog beside me,

minding my own business.

Tell me, what is better than that?

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

(That's the good life:)

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

DO NOT

WORRY

about anything,

PRAY

about

EVERYTHING

PHILIPPIANS 4:6

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

So I leave you with this . . .

don't get caught up in the

hustle and bustle of this world.

Relax and let God take care of you.

Until by next post . . .

God bless you & keep you.

Your blogging sister, Connie :)
