Desires not Needs

chest.... http://google.com I have several areas I could use this idea if I could find a old chest at a budget price....


wagon... http://home.bunch.com I have a old victorian buggie frame that has had a old antique box on it that appears very similar to this is my front of my home as you enter.... This is the look I desire to work in with other objects....



I haven't completed any further work out of doors and I had thought I may so a couple simple projects like restringing wind chimes of which I do every year...I have ask Tom if I could have a new wind chime this year.... the really nice large pipes with the deep sound and the bigger price tag... you know the ones... I do so love and enjoy wind chimes ... especially in the country where the wind is always showing it's authority...I was looking for ideas of what to be shopping for as far as solar lights also... My plan is to bring the ones we purchased last season out to the front garden area and purchase new ones for the new pool area... I must be limiting my desires... if I ever want to get out of the house with the debit card again... The chemicals for the pool to open this season has been purchased at a earlier date when they ran a pre -season sale... It is quite expensive to get a pool open and up and running but it is worth every bit of it when the enjoyment of the coolness of the water is enjoyed by ones self and family and friends.... I really do need to limit my thoughts and wants this year and just try to mix some found objects with existing ones... Old and new can very easily be combined outside with a one of a kind look that will delight ones self as well as family and friends... I would like to add just a touch of French flavor to the deck that is off the kitchen-dining area... Summertime this area becomes our all time dining space for lunch and supper and entertaining.... sipping of iced beverages and conversation.... I encourage you to create a space no matter how small for yourself to relax.... Somewhere personal and special can always be created...


Enjoy this day which the Lord has made....

Marietta,
I love the inspiration photos you have posted. the shabby but oh-so- chic chest of drawers is gorgeous and would definitely like to be the proud owner of such a piece. I'm sure I'd find a place in my home for it... but then, yeap, that's a desire not a need.
wishing you a great Sunday

Hi Marietta
Sounds like you have spring all planned out... so nice to have idea's and then see them realized. Yours sound lovely and I can't wait to see what you do.
I know those chimes are wonderful, they have been on my wish list for awhile now!

Our local christian radio station had a gentleman on the other day that makes wind chimes {actually I am sure it is a place of business and not just him that makes them} They have some that chime Amazing Grace and other songs...how in the world they do that I haven't a clue. :)
