Mother's Day in the Garden - Spending time puttering around my garden

 Hi Friends, 

Happy Mothers Day! 

Our weather all spring has been super cold and windy, but today, is so nice I am getting outside in my back yard. 

My mission today is to put out the humming bird feeder with a suggested mixture if 4 cups (or parts) of water to 1 cup (or parts) of sugar.  I combine the ingredients in a sauce pan, set stove top to low, to dissolve the sugar, let stand for 15 minutes to cool, then pour into feeders.

I have had these repurposed vintage bird feeder for many years, I recently search Pinterest and there are so many different style you could use to make your own.

With the weather permitting, I was glad to get some of my terra cotta pots out and set up in the back yard in the wagon, for my herb garden.

Another of my projects for today is to set out  the galvanized buckets and wire baskets out front on my porch area for planting.

There are still a few projects on my list to get done when the weather will permits.  Straightening up the deck, sweeping the patio, etc., etc., etc. I guess that will be in day to come.

Thank you for stopping by, please check back next week I will be showing you a thrift haul and how I have incorporation the found treasure into my home.

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Hunting for Vintage Treasure in June

 Hi Friends,

I went on a treasure hunt this week and look at what I found. I found some items to add to my Patriotic theme for July.

The placemat I will add to the other I use for the 4th of July.  When I saw the bread pans I had to buy them I saw a You-tuber use the pans to display bottles, or caddies.

I couldn't believe I found the flag cookie cutters.  I was so excited to find the cookie cutter, can't wait to make flay shape cookies for July.

I have two rolling pin I've had for many years.   Lately, rolling pin have been all the rage with the farmhouse décor, that I have started collecting rolling pins with the different handles.

Tiny baskets with long handle is something I'm always on the look out for, to hang from a shelf.  

This small cut glass round dish caught my eye, I may use it with bowl fillers or candy on a end table.  

I also spotted some wooden spoons to add to a jar above the kitchen cabinets.

 

The metal basket, cup, and sugar tong caught my eye because of the patina, I use tarnish aluminum or silver plate a lot through out my house.  I'm not sure how I'll use these three items yet in my décor.

I always pick up checked fabric, I also saw the red paint handle bread slicer, I had to pick it up.

Silver plate flat ware is something new for me to look for. I have been intrigued by the different patterns.

I picked up this cute wooden caddy for 3.00 I'm not sure if Ill leave it the way it is or paint it.

 I also found a couple of little amber bottles and then I found this amber jelly jar!

  I've been also collecting jelly jars, I'm not sure why.. but, I found one that has a amber tint. I will probably save for my fall décor.

  I couldn't by pass floral tape for $.25. I can always use find a project to use floral tape.

Hand painted wooden bowl, I believe in a Mexican floral? It is so beautiful I'm not sure if I'll paint over it or just keep it as is, and use the platter for entertaining.

WOW what a great haul today I feel I found the mother lode. what a wonderful day!

So until next time.......

May God Bless you and your family.
