Vintage Garden Ideas





A bit chilly this morning.. Yesterday afternoon Tom and traveled to Bryan to a landscaping store to purchase a cement bench for a area out by the pool that was landscaped very late last fall and not quite finished.... I really want to keep that area very clean and simple and have the main focus on the pool itself... After purchasing the bench I am glad I have decided to keep it simple... I am stunned at the prices that one must be willing to pay for garden decor..I have been keeping my eyes open for inspiration as I have stated before... wanting to stay with things I find charming and love the style... In the above pictures I was particularly drawn to the stacking and staggering of the galvanized buckets and the wine crates... the pictures were from the following two sites...............http://www.vintagegardengal.com/ and http://sepiasmiles.blogspot.com/ I will post some pictures next month after more has been completed in the lawns and garden spaces....So far it has started out to be a very different type of season and makes me wonder just what this spring and summer will really have in store for us...

ps.... I made a big mistake and tried the Bloggers new look and hopefully am back to the old one althought I cannot get my lines to line up... Grrrr why did I try it... I didn't like it... I guess I don't take to kindly to change anymore.... Sure hope I can figure out how to make my lines line up again....

Hi Marietta

It's early...
