Candelier

It was love at first sight when I saw this hanging at the Barn House Flea Market yesterday. I always feel so conspicuous taking pictures when there are lots of people around. I feel like they'll think I'm taking pictures of them. I think the guy in the red shirt wondered. Besides, they mess up a pretty picture. I wish I was a vendor so I could take all the pre-show pics my little heart desired. Wonder if the Barn House Boys would let me be their official photographer. Think I should ask?

It's funny how I still missed seeing so many cool things until just now looking at the pictures I took. Love the rounded windows behind my candelier.

Anyhoo, what do you think of my find? I love, love, love it! Now to find the perfect spot for it! We do have a tiny cottage, ya know. High ceilings help, though. This spot on our porch works for now (neighbor's house in background).

I can't wait for fall to twine it with some bittersweet and maybe even put mini pumpkins where the candles go. Wouldn't that be cute?

More finds and show pics coming up. . . . .

Spread the Love!

Even though I'd like to keep it all to myself, I can't help but spread the good news here in the Pacific Northwest! Barn House is having a Flea Market this Saturday, July 18th. Come one, come all if you can! It promises to be great fun with finds for everyone! I know I plan on being there. It always seems like something comes up and I can't go. Oh how I've felt sorry for myself when I knew so many others got to go. Silly me! But this time, I made sure to put it on my calendar early as a commitment! Hi-ho, hi-ho it's off to the flea market I go! See you there. . . .

Happy Thursday, ya'll!

Growth

Look closely. . . .this first picture is when we first moved into our 'new' cottage back in February. See how small the plants around the porch are?


Now look at this picture taken here in July. See the growth?
It just amazes me how fast everything grew up! I love the cottage flowers. Don't ask me what they're called - my husband is the landscaper, not me! Although he didn't put these in. 'Cause he tells me all the time how much he dislikes the lava rock! If we buy this little house, that's the first thing coming out! Oh, and we'd add a cute little picket fence and a few other things to cutesy it up even more! He just pruned the really tall bush so it doesn't hide the porch. Looks much better!

Are you still enjoying your gardens? We're missing our vegetable garden this year! However, this little yard is easy-peasy to keep maintained. And for a super busy landscaper, that's just wonderful!
