Many of you subscribe to or purchase The Cottage Journal, 

but did you know they have a website/blog that is frequently updated 

with wonderful feature layouts and stories? 

 You can go to their site and sign up in email for the blog.

 I thought you might enjoy seeing these photos from a recent entry

 on a garden shed that's filled with all the vintage essentials. 

Potting Bench Beginnings

Over the weekend we were able to get alot accomplished by renting a U-Haul trailer, and with the help of our son-in-law, we emptied out one whole unit and then combined the last two. We started this a year ago with 4 big units that are climate controlled, so we were spending big bucks each month just to store all our stuff.

Vintage Inspiration Friday #26 Thinking of Spring

This time of year I start thinking about Spring.

Not just "Spring", but more specifically,

thinking about plants and flowers for my deck and porch;

bringing some color back into my life and surroundings.

I bought the book, Carolyn Westbrook Home,

several years ago and have found endless inspiration.

One of my favorite segments is at the end of the book;

The Potting Shed

Everything about this setting speaks to my vintage heart;

old metal chairs, shutters, chippy white table, old iron gate, garden statuary.

The old metal basket, and even a beautiful way to display broken concrete urns.

I adore this rusty iron and chippy paint gate.

And even the canning jars with a seed packet;

a simple display, but lots of impact.

Oh, to have a place for bags of soil, garden utensils, pots and ideas!

If you haven't seen this wonderful book,

you'll really enjoy it.

It's one of my all time favorites!

Thanks Carolyn
