Keep Calm & Garden On!

Last weekend was our annual

Garden Party Open House

and as promised...

we thought we'd share a few pictures....

 Lots of vintage gardening tools mixed in with 

whitewashed iron pieces and some of

Karrie's gorgeous floral arrangements....

 

Pretty floral antique plates mixed in with

lots of wire baskets

and our favorite find...

Vintage Card Seed Co. Bean & Corn seed boxes!

Glass Cloches, wire urns and lots of garden markers

were sprinkled here & there!

Wonderful old galvanized watering cans!!

{super swoon-worthy!}

 Of course we had lots of vintage stamped silverware

necklaces to choose from...

as well as our newest addition...

leather cuffs!

Hobnail lanterns in soft sea-breezy colors

along with BOLD bright wreaths

for your doors

Hope you enjoyed a little taste of what was

to be seen last week for our Open House!

This week we are busy filling the store back up...

and getting ready for our Traveling Lavender Class on Thursday

{oh heavens!  we can't wait to share that day with you!!}

Here's to a wonderful week!!

A Magical Place

The smell of earth

Strange and magical sights

A place that makes you believe there are fairies....

 A greenhouse...perhaps, but a wee bit more rustic...

An old potting shed!

Old pumps, old Terra cotta pots and dirt...

lots of dirt

 There's nothing more we love to do

(ok...except junk...)

than to visit places that sell plants...

in fact our husbands shiver when we either go to antique stores

or greenhouses ~ lol!!

We love them...perhaps it's because we tagged along with grandma

to the local greenhouses...

 We couldn't really tell you why...we just are drawn to them...

and the older the better ;) right?!!

Finding pretty herbs to plant...

flowers that will bloom...

or just looking at the architecture and styles of the good old-fashioned

potting sheds....  that's what speaks to us!

Hope you are all enjoying your Monday!

It's raining off and on today ~ we thought it would be a perfect day

to hang out looking at plants....how about you??
