Vintage Junk, Re-purposed Furniture and Jewelry.
I've done it again...I bought this glass door for $10.00 and it's going in the butterfly garden. I want to paint it bright red but don't want to loose that chippy paint look. Yes, I am working in the butterfly garden now...I lost several plants due to this years frost so alot of plants need to be replaced. It's funny how the good plants die but the weeds live forever.
Spring Break is over but I still have Spring Fever! I still want to sleep in late, stay up late and not worry about the boys doing their homework. It's a good thing summer vacation is around the corner!!! hahahah The last couple of days have been filled with trinkets and bracelets. This awesome chunky bracelet was a thrift store find and I added some fun charms...great look I think. (Sorry that the picture is sideways...I don't know how that happened???) I recently came across this really cool website that sells charms and bracelets, The Charm Cellar....WOWZER...was I in heaven!! All kinds of vintage charms and bracelets...I of course had to purchase this SS double link bracelet...can't have too many bracelets!!hehe. The Charm Cellar, owned and operated by Wanda Fitzgerald...she is located in Orlando Fl. I can't wait add charms to my new bracelet....
Do you remember the before pictures of my side yard? Ugly huh? It's taken me 6 years to get my secret garden dream completed.....it was fun while doing it, learned lots along the way and I did not encounter one snake while working around the A/C unit...hahaha. My right hand is still recoving from grouting the stepping stones but I sure had fun doing them! I didn't use edging on the right hand side just installed some iron chippy white fencing that I had. I also had a small metal trellis and decided to glue some blue willow plates to cover that ugly silver post. The plants in the gray pots are Boston Ferns, they are still recovering from our frost....they should look pretty by the entrance. I still need to install the finials above the posts and so some teeny tiny work...hahaha. Hopefully once the plants are bigger and more established it won't look so bare. Ohhhh and in case your wondering why I didn't cover up the a/c....it's an old a/c...didn't want to mess or plant anything near that baby just in case.....
