Hi Sweet little Chickies!I just had to share this with you. As I've said, I had a garage sale with my sweet friend, Jan, a couple of weeks ago....Her home AND yard are simply stunning....everyone who came to the garage sale RAVED about her home.......It's sooo pretty. I should have taken pictures of the outside of her house; I'll do that soon.........you will LOVE it!!! These are pictures of her SIDE yard. They wanted the neighbors to have something pretty to look at when they drove into their driveway.....all together now............ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! :-)
Jan's hubby is a CAN-DO kind of fella and made this bench. Is that not just the cutest darn thing? This would have been my coffee table choice if Jim had been able to squeeze it into his busy schedule.
Which reminds me....coffee table dilemma solved! I found one....and love it. I'll take pix soon!
I have three topiarys like that......Jan gave me a tip....another easy-peasy how-to. All you do to make the frame is bend a metal HANGER into a round shape, stick it into the dirt and add ivy. Now, isn't that great for a two minute job? It doesn't end up looking like a hanger does it?
I bought an ivy plant a long time ago. I have no idea what variety it is, but this is some super-sturdy stuff. I've taken a gazillion clippings off of it to start new plants. Just stick them into some water until you see roots and plant! FREE! I do love a nice thrifty little project with lots of ZIP! :-)
I've been soooo busy lately. My little grandson is out of school for the summer so he's been with me most of the time. I LOVE spending time with him.
And, my Darling Daughter and I are having a garage sale this weekend.....oh, I know what you're thinking.........didn't she just say she just HAD a garage sale? MMMMmmmm.....the answer to that would be YES......BUT.....I still have loads of stuff to pass on (read un-load) and my daughter takes right after her mother! You see....when you're a thrifty girl who loves a bargain it's easy to change things out.....Yeah, now the truth....I buy lots of things with hot ideas and change my mind. :-) Shhhh....don't tell the Hubbs!
Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday!!!!
Big hugs!
Spencer
