Who needs a smile?
Anyone who has a retirement fund might need one right now.
Once the calendar changed to April the pastels and bunnies were let loose in the garden room. I brought out my "oh so springy" vintage tumbling block quilt and got busy on the farm table. My paper mache vintage rabbit hopped into a garden basket so I filled in with old garden tools, peat pots and my vintage Better Homes and Gardens Garden Encyclopedia.
I love using a metal basket because you can easily see inside, unlike a crate or wicker basket. And if it has chippy paint, then all the better...
This particular edition is from 1954. If you ever see one at a flea market or vintage market be sure and grab it because it's full of still relevant information and ideas for planting and landscaping.
This section is on flowering bulbs and spring flowers.
I found this adorable children's, book years ago. I thought it was interesting that it was titled Peter Rabbit, and from 1939, but not using the original Beatrix Potter illustrations.
I hope your weather is taking a turn for the good and out of the early spring storm mode. Have a great week.
You have such a knack. I could put all those things in that same basket and it would look like I just threw them in (to carry to another room!). You make it look completely adorable!
ReplyDeleteahhhh, thanks Jeanie. I think you're probably underestimating yourself. Thank goodness for books to stack. My bunny was too short in the poop!
DeleteLove that wire basket with all your vintage tools and bunny. Very sweet Have a great week hugs Kris
ReplyDeletethanks Kris, loving your new centerpiece for spring!!
DeleteDebra, you always create the prettiest vignettes and this vintage basket for spring is another lovely! Enjoy your pretty display and I hope spring is being kind to you, too. Lightning and rain last few storms but otherwise good so far. :)
