A glimpse---

A bit of woven wonder peeking out
A spot of leather
A tiny heart skip
A full blown swoon

Love at first sight

A leather corner

Bottom strap holders

A lined interior

All of which belonged to Miss Bertha Hillger

I caught my breath---

I clutched it to my chest
I ran to pay
I floated out the door 
knowing that this love is forever

Summer always brings memories of water and sand.
I spent many happy days by the river or lakeside, playing and building
houses and castles and "someday" plans...
Little old sand shovels always make me smile.
Enjoy the sweetness of your weekend!

Piles of stuff

The cleaning up continues...
Potting space has been taken up
with more "stuff"---mostly necessary---
but eye candy ALWAYS makes working
more fun!
Antique French starter pots---some sold, some used, some just to make me happy...
 An antique tote holding bases, markers, screening and all those little necessities...
O.K. the antique seed sorter screens in the back are not necessary, but they sure are faves of mine and the lead dishes in the front as well.  Some things are too appealing to part with...for a while...

Now I need a cleaning partner who doesn't mind getting VERY dirty, sweaty and wet while using some muscle to cleanup the rest...actually, in my dreams, I have a crew...
and the money to pay them...ahhhhhh
Hope your day is great!

Greenhouse Dirt

The cleanup has begun.
Shelves have been cleaned.
Frogs are in place.
There's so much to do
and so little time...
At least it's been started.
Tidying up is good for the soul.
Even the frogs like it!

They are tossed and piled and in total disarray...
 along with every thing else in this greenhouse.

Signs of Summer

Veggie signs are
always welcome.
Worn and wooden, 
this hangs in the porch , as well.
Enjoy your glorious Sunday!

Old  signs, 
wooden or metal
always have appeal to me.
Because our home has always
been a hub of activity, 
I brought this home 
years ago for my sweet spouse.
A handy someone cut and
painted a Shell Oil sign
for a home grown business.
This now graces our back porch
and brings a smile.
