Vintage Inspiration for My Garden


I have spent a wonderful week at home working in my
garden and fluffing the cottage and my front porch.

I have been taking lots of vintage items and using them
in different ways.  I love to rearrange just as you all do
and every time I do, the results just give me a  fresh new
feeling!



Of course I have managed to work in a little bit of pink
because pink is one of my favorite colors.  I have decided that
I need a new pair of pink clogs.  I love to wear pink too!

I'm done fluffing for a bit and I am off to enjoy some parties ~

and of course

If you have not entered my giveaway yet, please do on my July 18th Post.  I will
announce the winner on Monday, July 25th.

Bentley ~ I have so enjoyed being home with you all week.
I'll have to take another vacation again soon!

Lots of Love,
Susan and Bentley

    Very cute ideas. Love the pillow. Isn't home just the best! What did you do with Momma on her vacation, Bentley? I hope you took a couple of nappy's together :)
    p.s. love the old record playing in the background.

    How clever to put the rosemaling rose in the planter.
    When you get your new pink clogs you must post them for PS.
    Wishing you a pinkishly beautiful weekend....

    Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie...
    What a gorgeous share this morning. I love seeing the little plate tucked in the planter. So inviting and drawing towards. Just so feminine.

    The pillow is so inviting to the chair. Makes one want to move your little watering can and basket and sit right down for a spell. I love pillows in the garden. Just the right touch of love sweet friend.

    Give Bentley a hug for me. Tell him hello from Phoenix. Hope you are have a beautiful weekend sweet friend. Many hugs and so much love, Sherry

    Everything looks so pretty...it is so hot here, I've not been in the mood to do any fluffing at all. Maybe in the fall...
