Hmmmm…..love this basket…..

had NO CLUE when I bought it that
it is a tennis ball practice basket

Don't play tennis? Plants! Bath towels! Toys!
You Decide!

Add a unique planter to your landscape... 
Red Devil tiller in gorgeous blue or


this blossoming faded turquoise spreader
or perhaps a rescued chair, a toy dump truck,
an aluminum coffee pot or oil can
for fun & flowering accents

ON THE ROAD AGAIN….

So blessed to be able to head back to the midwest for the WHOLE MONTH of May.
Too many treasures
to display but
here's a snapshot…
not a bad view with morning coffee on the dock!

rescued a few old birdhouses for the shop…
 
the BEST EVER used book store (Gandy Dancer Books)
next to a great coffee shop
next to an antique store that's always a winner
makes for the perfect
Main Street for me!
My favorite restaurant in town with amazing food in this great old house AND it's full of antiques.  Gotta love shopping with your homemade waffles & syrup!!

Even out buildings of treasures in the parking lot
and OH THE PICKING!!! was just
so much fun

 tons of variety in every spot...

adorable magazine
rack made it back
home with me

and this great old church pew
 okay….maybe these old
sling beach chairs are
a bit beat up
BUT…
they are going
to be SO CUTE
this month in
the shop





WHAT A
CHARMER! 


of course I'm never too far away from my sander….

ALL TOO SOON!
I was loading
a trailer to come
back home
this Checkered Corner green cutie
was the first thing in.  LOVE IT!
OH! I almost forgot….rainy day taking turns at the sewing machine making baskets with my mom.  SUCH FUN!
BEFORE - wrapping fabric on clothesline
DURING - they take shape with zig-zag stitching



and AFTER - they are just plain cute utility
Always good to be back in front of the mountain sunsets from our deck
See you at the shop in a couple weeks!
Check back for more photos coming soon
