My Winter Garden Landscape

I'm sipping a glass of sherry while admiring the Winter landscape and dreaming of sunny weather. The garden looks frosty and lovely while it sleeps beneath it's light blanketing of snow. 

A plant stand waits for Summer greenery. 

The fish hibernate in the pond while the vegetable garden behind it sleeps under a blanket of snow.

A lonely chair sits vacant under the tree.

Rustic French Decor

Inspiration can strike at any time. 

I was taking pictures of some spoons to list in my shop. 
I added roses as an accent in the pictures.  

While I was standing there I thought they look so lovely together that 
I wanted to keep them that way. 

So . . . I took a few of the spoons and wired them together, 
added some vintage lace and a handmade tag. 
And viola the spoon bouquet was created! 

The tag can be used for an inspirational word, a name, 
you could even use them on each guest's plate at a tea party 
or wedding and use the tag as a place card. 

Hmm, maybe I should make more of these . . .

You can find this one in my Etsy shop:

Vintage Cupboard Salvaged from Remodel

Salvaged this from an old house that is getting a remodel!

I'm going to clean it up (maybe paint it, I'll see how it looks after it's cleaned). Put some nice vintage knobs on it and hang it in my kitchen's eating area.

Notice the spice rack on the door. I'm going to see if I can remove the paint as it is red plastic underneath.

I love the scalloped edge. 








Lot's of storage space!
