Hello.....remember me?

Where have you been?!  Just kidding, where have I been.
I'm still having trouble with my lap top, I have been to lazy to sit here at the house computer.
Anyhoo, can you see them?  Hiding among those beautiful plastic flowers.

At first I didn't see them, they were stuffed in with all the fake plants at the thrift.


The closer I got the more excited I got!

I ripped those flowers off, boy were they glued on tight.  I can cover that!
I have plans for them.

Now I have five toppers!  I guess I should have taken a picture of all of them, I'll do that later and show you.


They are getting harder to find for a good price around here.
And they were a good price at $3.93!  Including the plastic flowers!!

Other then the glue on the bottom of the stand they are in great shape!
They are dated 1959!
Aren't they beautiful?!


I like to show you what's blooming at my house.
I can always count on my impatiens.  I guess they took the T off impatiens.  I know there was one there before.....before what, I don't know..haha
If I keep them cut back they fill out nicely.

I'm always looking for old work boots to fill with flowers.
These have my Katie plants I bought at Publix a couple years ago and this is the first time they have had a good bloom on them.
They also root very easy!


I love my chicken feeder I bought from Shelley at Sweet Pea Home.
I will fill it with flowers soon, it's quit large so I'm afraid it will be too heavy to hang when it's full of dirt and plants.

I don't usually do red but I do like the puff flowers.

I love this old heavy metal planter I bought at a garage sale years ago.

Here is my big boy that I love so much.  He's doing pretty well, he is starting to limp more but his spirit is great.
For those that don't know, Bailey has cancer.


Isn't this pretty?!  I always get one bloom at a time, I wish it would just explode with blooms.

See her?  She's is chomping away at that milk weed.
I love watching them grow each day.



It's funny because I usually can not find where they go to make there chrysalis.
We sure did have a mild winter this year.  I think we only had one time when the temputure went below freezing and I was in Montana.
I'm linking with Debra at Common Ground this week, so make sure you get over there and visit other great vintage finds!
Have a happy Friday and weekend if I don't see you..hehehe.

Just a little organization going on...

Cute!
You think?



We have a new girl at Art Angels and she took the old spools and put bracelets on them.

How clever!
So I strung jute through the ends to hang them.



I bought these old rusty hangers from my friend Anita in Somers Montana.

I saw this on Pinterest.


This is an old grader.

Just a little organization going on.

Happy Friday to you!
