My Cottage Cherry Chair

It was so nice to be back blogging. I sure missed it and all of you! I'm happy to say that I've been busy with so many nice things, good people, and great times. I love all the times of year for blogging--planting time in Spring, lazy Summer days, ideas for holidays. I am like a sponge absorbing all your good ideas! The amount of things I have learned and experimented with because of so many of you is mind boggling! :)

I've been blessed that when my husband built our house he put three porches on it. Two rear and one big front one. I love them all for diffrent reasons though I think this year my favorite is the one that has my Amish double rocker. I just love that space. I planted some sunflower seeds  quite a while back and they are growing very well, and I think I will plant them in the gardens that surround that porch. We'll see. They are the tall sunflowers! The ones that are so happy and perky and peek at you over fences! Anyway, on my front porch I used to have a little children's rocking chair I bought from a garage sale about 4 years ago and even though my porch is covered, it got weathered. Now normally I like weathered! I'm the girl who loves rusty stuff :)   but this wooden rocker needed a redo so I decided to do her up cottage style.

 

 

 

Here she is ! With some discounted rub on transfers from AC Moore, I think she is a cottage cutey! The rabbit was also a garage sale find from years past.

I love mixing cottage in with my country prim home!

 

My husband and son have been hard at work on our chicken/rabbit coop condo! He was working on the front porch of it yesterday. It's coming a long nicely. I will post pictures soon.

 

Got me a pocket hose! Love it! We have a sprinkler system but whenever I just wanted or needed to use a hose I hated the dirt and winding it up. It was such a struggle! I mean I despised even being near it. POCKET HOSE gets a big thumbs up from me!

 

I can't wait to show you the amazing mouser I got from Buttermilk Creek Farms. You must check out her blog and selling site! She made a very special mouser for me that I adore! I have to photograph her and show you. Believe me you will want one for your own and she does custom orders too!

Here are two garage sale finds!  I collect depression glass especially in pink but I don't know if this hen is. I don't believe she is but I loved her anyway! My lovely cosuin brought me beautiful pink depression glass dessert dishes when she visited! Like I said, I have quite a few posts to catch up on. Can't wait to show you all my goodies!

 Before I close, just wanted to post some of my garden pics. I know you are all working hard to make your crafts, recipes, your home a special place--we are all kindred spirits! Bless you all!

 That's all folks!
