Tea Cups & Herbs

I can see my wicker patio table from our family room....every summer I set it for summer....I put herbs in my cute little tea cups my daughter gave me years ago...

I had extra pink napkins so out they went on the table......

and cute little pink glasses......

a little color......

love the spring plates...had them for years...

I put the spring plates on the lace ones from Ross I bought last month.....

so sweet.....

we eat out on our patio a lot during the summer.......

during the summer it seems like I have another room to relax and enjoy on our patio.....

have a wonderful day...

Hugs,

More Cottage Garden

What can I say...Mika just wanted to be part of this post today.....

this is the potting table I bought at the Country Folk Art Show...at the same time I bought the headboard bench.....a local man and his wife are retired and make beautiful little things and sell them for VERY reasonable prices......

it is small and doesn't take up much room on our patio.......

it just gives that part of our patio that cottage look I love.....

Mika wants me to make sure you see the brick she helped us clean....

Thank You Mika......

where is Mika......

Oh there she is....

I love the pickets and window he used on the potting table....

the little watering can and potting bowl came with the table....

I just thought this watering can was soooooo cute....

Our Foxgloves are just in the middle of blooming....

Hubby planted them 2 years ago...and they just keep reseeding....

such an old fashion plant...love it....

I let the Foxgloves go crazy this year.... no rhyme or reason just doing what every they want...they even seeded themselves in the wheel barrel this year...I kinda like for a change....

this is how we get to our Secret Garden from our back garden....this path is in between our storage shed and house....stepping stones and baby tears....just so sweet....

and into our Secret Garden...our garden is doing great this year...

I love sitting back here

all for now....Mika enjoyed her time with you today.....

I think she is posing.....

NO, I am sure she is posing.......she is such a ham !!!!!

Have a wonderful day...

Mo :-)

Our Cottage Patio

Hubby and I cleared off the patio and cleaned and scrubbed the brick....during the winter months it gets a lot of moss and it is beautiful until it dies down...thus the clean and scrub.....lots of work but worth it...thank goodness it is only once a year.....

gate painted...all ready for summer.......

do you get back door guests????...we do...
my little birdhouse chalk board welcomes them.....

and of course bunny keeps watch and makes sure everything stays Pink and green.....
tomorrow a little bit more of our cottage patio...
Hugs,
Mo :-)

Lazy Day Swing

Wanna read or take a nap.....I sure did after all our hard work this past weekend.....

I also had a nice cup of tea as well.....I treated myself with the silver tea set and a great tea cup...don't tell any one but I really did fall asleep.....

I have been collected pillows here and there for a while......I love a beautiful pillow....
I do change the pillows around a lot...when the grand kids come over....the pillows are a bit more kid friendly....I will share of picture of that look another time......

I love white wicker.....

have a wonderful Spring day....

Hugs,

Mo :-)

Gotta Love Layering

Sorry, but I didn't make my bed.....

I thought how silly to make my bed just to take a picture of the before.....

I have wanted to layer my bed to cover the wood sideboard....

I have been looking for a dust ruffle and everything I liked was over $50 and under $100...no way...who has the $$$ just to cover a little bit of wood....well, I found the Battenburg Lace dust ruffle .....and where else....Home Goods for $7.99

I love how it cover the bit of the wood sideboard......

if you wait long enough something always turns up.....

plus I love Battenburg Lace...just so crisp, cozy and Romantic looking......

Hugs,

Mo :-)

Shabby Chic Window

I am still moving things around...I moved this hall bench to our cozy foyer....it looks like that piece was made for that cozy area.....my living room is really coming together....the only other BIG project is painting all the wood trim and doors...not a big deal just a little time consuming....

all the little treasure rest on top of the shelf.....

what I wanted to show you was this cute little Shabby Chic window with the cute saying....."Live Simply" ...I love the pale Pink roses on either side


this cute little window was half off from the J C Penney Catalog.....I paid $20 for it....


they day it arrived I had the perfect spot to put it....
my little cozy foyer opens it's arms with a big friendly Welcome.....
Have a wonderful Weekend...
Hugs,
Mo :-)

Paint Project # 3

Third and final paint project this week....I found this coffee table on a walk a few years ago...it was in the trash and ready for pick up....well....I saved it...it had no top but a lot of charm.....I walked almost 3 miles with this little table......it was just time to give it a new life.....

a little TLC and a little paint....

a new table top and here you have my new coffee table in the family room....

the table top is a mosaic mirror I bought at Ross about 2 plus years ago...

it fit just perfect.....

I LOVE the legs on the table...

it is small and just right in my cozy family room.....

the tag is still on the back of this mirror mosaic...

I only paid $19 for this....all that work for $19....amazing....

I just love when things come together.....table free....

paint I had and table top $19...that really makes me happy.....

Have a wonderful day...

Hugs,

Mo :-)

Wail until you see what I got for half off....so cute....

Chandelier Tins

Here are the chandelier tins I bought on our vacation when we went to Alexandria...I finely found a home for them...

I put them above the re do painted chest in the living room..

I had a clock there now it is moved to my kitchen...

I only used three of the chandelier tins

I put a bit of pink ribbon to hang them with....

I like the tins there...nice for a change....

I took this picture before I changed the pretties on the little chest....

but doing all this painted furniture has really opened a can of worms...now I want to paint all the wood molding...but I have wanted to do that for a while.....

will it ever end???

tomorrow paint project # 3

have a great day...

Hugs,

Mo :-)

Paint Project # 2

I was really undecided about painting this little chest at first.....I lived with it for several months and every time I looked at it....I didn't like it...then I really didn't like it and then out it went for a paint job...... I sprayed it with Kilz Oil Base Primer...and painted it with the off white semi gloss paint....

I want to do a bit more paint detail work on this little chest but I have to be in the mood to work on it.......but for now....I was just on a roll and wanted to paint all three little projects on my days off from work.....

the color looks so much better in my living room....

and of course all the little treasures look so at home on top of this chest....

and the little glass pink knobs gives it the sweet pink pop of color......

I took the pink knobs out of the little bird bath I had sitting on the chest.....

good thing I put them there...I am always forgetting where I put things.....

below here it is at night....so romantic and pretty......

even during the day everything just sparkles....

tomorrow ...

my chandelier tins have a home.....

Hugs,

Mo :-)
