so it received a coat of white spray paint.
But I soon found that nothing was stopping the rust from peeking out.
I'm quite fond of that rust right now... shows the age of it.
Speaking of age...I'm trying hard to not let the "rust"
on my exterior change who I am. I want to enjoy life
and be the woman that still feels young,
vibrant, energized and happy. Contentment from the inside,
that doesn't depend on outward circumstances.
That's what I'm striving for.
Just thought I'd share a little from my heart today.
God has to be the author of that.
I can't work it up by myself.
This is a white squash I found over the weekend. He's real.
Great rusty patina, don't you think?

My fascination with Angel Vine this year has caused me to accumulate several.
This one resides in a vintage white McCoy flowerpot...

This is a market basket filled with a dried gourd from last year
and a faux painted pumpkin.
Vintage flowerpots and white sprinkler are ready for baby mums.

What a lovely post and what a wonderful blog you have! I love metal chairs and I'm fortunate to have a couple...and yes no matter how much spray paint the rust does peek through! Big smile. Have a beautiful week.

Beautiful post.
ReplyDeletelove the chair, basket of goodies, watering can, whole vignette.
I'm right there with you about not letting outside bother us.
I'm almost 61, don't look at day over 55, (am i kidding myself?), and still feel 35 on inside.
do fine as long as i do not look in mirror., Then i wonder, 'who is that?' =0)

Oh! I love the white Hotel chair with the Fall colors next to it. Very nice photos too. Sandi
ReplyDeleteYou metal chair and table are exactly what I'm looking for. I want to creat a new sitting area in my back yard and that's what I want. I love the way you've brought fall into it. Beautiful!

Woo doggie, it's beginning to feel like Fall at your place! Can I come and sit awhile in that great motel chair. Don't ya just love them. Happy Wednesday, T
ReplyDeleteI love that white gourd with your white chair! The whole setting looks so inviting and very transitional for the seasons. Can't wait to see what you do as fall progresses.
ReplyDeleteYour metal motel chairs are wonderful! And you're right, a little rust just them....and us...character.
ReplyDeleteWell done and Happy White Wednesday!

Yes, that chair has a great rusty patina...love it! I too can remember sitting w/ my grandmother in one of those chairs, stringing green beans. I want a couple!
ReplyDeleteBoy that rust sure is strong coming thru the paint. I spray paint an old chair every Summer and by Fall that rust reappears the same time the leaves turn colors..very convenient to decorate for Fall:)

Hi Debra
ReplyDeleteLoved your white post this week. I too have fond memories of those chairs. My grandmother had them in her yard at the farm in SD. The adults would sit on them towards evening and my cousins and I would rummage through the trunks upstairs full of 1920s clothes and would parade down and put on a fashion show in front of the adults and sheep. Thanks for reminding me of that...
I am with you also on concentrating on my inside more now that the outside doesn't draw the attention it once did. Somehow I thought I wouldn't care at this point but one does...it takes strength to accept yourself the way you look and a lot of humor...thank you Lord for humor!
Blessings

Wow girl, you really wooped it up this week! Love your Fall posting..it's still so very hot here in Ca that the Fall mood hasn't struck me yet. You absolutely inspire me not only with all your pictures, but your wonderful words of wisdom! hank you.
ReplyDeleteMy Best,

I really like your "chair vignette." It totally bespeaks fall and someone who knows the art of display!
ReplyDeleteBrenda

ReplyDeleteIs that a perennial in Texas? Better check it out hadn't I.
I guess I am still hanging on to summer. It is so nice out today !

Awe, I love love LOVE Fall too. And I love your crackled rusty chair and Fall decorations! Your beautiful photos make me want to pull my boxes out of the attic and fill my surroundings with warm rust color and the smell of pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteNow Debra...see what you started?

Its just beautiful. As are you! :D And I know, I certainly don't feel as old as I am. I still think I'm 17. LOL. But the attitude is what counts. And a great smile. Love all the fall touches and especially that ticking pillow! :D
