Texture Tuesdays #10...

This weeks theme is one of my favourites ~ Gardening ♥

I want to say

something comforting

~Vincent Van Gogh~

Comfort & Joy

Kim Klassen Texture: Stained Linen

One of my favourite pastimes is Garage Sales. In my town, they typically start in May and end around mid Sept and I am up and out the door early each Saturday morning with newspaper in hand, eager to see what the day's search may unfold.

Over the years, I've found lots of bargains (it really is true that one man's junk is another man's treasure), had lots of laughs (wondering why anyone would buy some items to begin with) :-)

and most importantly, made great memories with my daughter (and garage sale partner in crime)!!
I'm always on the look out for anything garden inspired & many of the "chachkies" in the garden were found at garage sales for pennies. Since we use our garden so much during the Summer, it really is an extension of our home, and we've created little "rooms" throughout it and decorate it as such.

Our pergola has an iron candelabra hanging from it, chairs have comfortable cushions, lanterns are filled with candles, decorative plaques and sconces are attached to the house and just like inside, we are surrounded by things that mean something special to us.

One of my favourite things to collect is vintage galvanized watering cans ♥ Depending on their condition, we use them for holding flowers, simply decoration, and yes, even for watering the garden by hand :-)

No matter what term is used to describe them, be it yard sale, street sale, moving sale, tag sale, car port sale etc ... I look forward to them every Spring/Summer.

This weeks free texture "Stained Linen" from Kim is one of my favourites so far ~ Thank you Kim for use of your generous textures ♥

Texture Tuesdays #8...

"Vintage Scale"

Kim Klassen Texture: Vintage

This week's Texture Tuesdays comes with a Vintage Challenge.

Every Saturday morning I head out to Garage Sales in search of treasures.

This Vintage Scale was one of those finds & sits on a shelf in my kitchen.

Antiques are what

one generation

buys ...

the next generation

gets

rid of ...

and the following generation

buys again

Texture Tuesdays #2...

One of our favourite things to do once the weather warms up, is to spend the day outdoors and have a picnic lunch/dinner.

When my children were little, on very hot days, I would often pack a picnic dinner, pick them up from school, and we would head off to the park. We have a favourite big old tree that we would lay our blanket out under, and sit with sandwiches and cold drinks.

We'd read books and toss a Frisbee ... lots of fun.

Ev'ry bear who's been good

is sure of a treat today.

There's lots of marvelous things to eat

and wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees

where nobody sees

they'll hide and seek

as long as they please.

Cause that's the way

the teddy bears have

their picnic

Snow session | Miss E. Sneak Peek

She is so beautiful and like she says,

"I am not sure what reflects me, because I am a puzzle made up of many different pieces."
