HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY...

Our City of Rockledge had the first annual

Memorials Day parade...

neighbors from around our

neighborhood gathered to honor

our troops of past and present.

Good job Rockledge!!

Birdbath

I finally found a birdbath thru

craigslist...a bit small

but it will do for now...

I added the pot on top to give

it more appeal...

Still on the lookout for that

special one...

My sunflower is so top heavy

that its drooping...

but she's still so pretty.

Happy Day...

Iron finds

Look what I found....

Iron trellis's...at least

that's what I am calling them...lol

a bit rusty, some cleaning needed.

They might go inside on a wall or

somewhere in the garden.

I love finds like these.

The tool box I bought from Susie sits on my table

filled with some of my favorite plates.

Today was the last day of school...

Woooo Hooooo...

Sunflowers

My seedlings have grown...

Sunflowers in Florida...I never knew...

It's been so much fun watching

them grow...

and grow..

Beautiful!!!

Beautiful I say!

Happy Saturday,

Sylvia

Boots in the garden

I am having SO much

fun doing container

gardens.

This iron piece did not stand

a chance...I stuffed

a plant inside and now

it looks so much better.

The iron bird fits perfectly inside.

A pair of garden boots that I never used.

I even cut a small hole

by the toe area for an airplant...

cute huh?

Have a great weekend...

Sylvia

Toolbox, bottles and jar

I was on the hunt for more garden junk

and some pretties to place in my

garden window.

This cool toolbox I bought from a friend,

it will sit on my table until....

the sconce I love, love, love. It does

need re-wiring though.

The wooden Jerusalem box will

be for my mom...the craftmanship

 is amazing!!

I don't care for the picture but love the frame. The ugly

lampshade was bought for the wire frame only.

And of course, the wooden

drawer will be for my

little jewelry trinkets.

It even has the handle...

I ablsolutely love these bottles.

The four are amethyst

and

the one on the left has a real pretty light

turquoise color.

Too bad they only had one.

They sit in my garden window as I type this,

I tried to take a picture but it's just too

darn bright.

I am liking up to Leigh's

Central Florida Bloggers

Central Florida Bloggers Unite...

at Shelley's beautiful home.

I was so excited for this day to come

and now I get to share with you all...

 Shelley has an eye for beautiful

things...I kept oohing and

ahhing as I walked from

room to room. I swear my

camera was taking pictures

on its own!

I looked at her trinkets and

and said to myself..

you dummy, you should have

bought that chalkboard

awhile back!!! LOL

This would look sooo good in my house too...

S is for Sylvia oops....Shelley

Who needs a magazine in here!!

There are so many pretty things to look at...

She decorates with lots of vintage

frames...

a picture for my friend who someday

plans on having a fireplace.

Where do I find one of those little box springs?...

it's super cute!

I drooled over this wall...are you drooling too?

This is where we had some yummy

treats for lunch...and

talked about thrift finds and barns.

My new friends...

(L to R) Vicky, Karen (no blog YET!), Carol

(bottom L to R) Shelley, Sue, Susie

Shelley (Sweet Pea Home), thank you so much for having us over and

getting the ball rolling. I say field trip next time!!

Happy Sigh...

Flowers and a Cat

A stroll through the

butterfly garden...

this is a white thunbergia vine?

I don't remember the name of this vine

but she sure is a beauty...

 I was pulling weeds off the

dutchmans pipe vine and

look what I found...

I think it's a swallowtail caterpillar

about to munch of the pipevine...

eat away little buddy!

I have something very exciting to tell you

but not till tomorrow...so excited that

I don't think I will be able to sleep!!!

Cya tomorrow...

Sylvia

container garden

I've been having lots of fun

with container gardens lately...

this penta is in an

old white chippy

iron book stand...

looking pretty in the garden.

The yarrow seems to be doing well

in our Florida weather...

Those are love bugs you see...they

are everywhere at this time...thank God for
our screened in porch!!!

More container garden pictures later...

Happy Sunday,

Sylvia

Curbside finds

Some curb finds from

years past...

A galvanized tub turned

into a water garden, sewing bench

and a cute bird cage.

I love to put all this

stuff in the garden,

it adds personality

and a bit of fun.

White elephant sale

My church had a white elephant

yard sale last week and as I was on my way out

I noticed this beautiful rose picture.

Double my excitement when I noticed the

frame in good shape.

This hand blown glass vase was at the TS

for several months and it finally came home with me.

I just love the greens and pinks swirls.

I am linking up to Cindy's My Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday..

lets go take a look.

Have a great week,

Sylvia

Thrifty finds...

Found objects alongside

the curb last week

included this 7 ft ladder...

I love to paint wooden ladders

bright red and place them

in the garden as an ornamental...

I'd like to think the

red attracts the hummingbirds

and butterflies.

Can you believe this was also

a curbside find?...someone in my

neighborhood was moving out and were taking

their stuff and placing along the

curb!!!

This hand blown glass vase was a thrift find...

it's going to be a little

greenhouse

This cute little black table

with marble top and iron

wall hanger were thrift finds.

I tell you...if you are ever in my area

you must visit The Sharing Center...

good prices and ALWAYS something

different!!!

 

 A quick road trip to the flea market yesterday

was so worth it!!!

I was lucky enough to find 2 galvanized watering cans

and a cute wooden box.

I am off to spray more red paint on the ladder...

Have a great week,
