A Happy Rocker

I was needing some rocking chairs for my front porch. I found some at Lowe's and Home Depot for $100.00 each. Needless to say that was NOT in my budget. I found this pair for $10.00. They ...»

Garden Diva Chick

I've had this wire dress form for a long time and have been wanting to do something with it. Paid a visit to Wingard's Nursery because they had a potting area with very helpful staff. Had a good day being creative with her.

    How nice of you 'Gail'. I have raised MANY-MANY kittens, on a bottle. Our Rescue group cleaned ...»
    up the many 'pockets' of Feral cats, in our town. Also the Towns in our area, or anyone who asked. One 'Famous' Group had only one trap! We came in & took care of over 200 cats, in a few weeks.

    I have Health Problems, cause of 24/7 hrs. of pain. I don't sleep at night anyway, what better way to spend your time. From Midnight too the sun comes up?

    I got to the rest of your story...too FUNNY. Do they still come around? Or did you have too move? LOL. My Son has a Goose that fell in love with him, at the Golf Course. Won't let any Ducks or Geese come around him, hasn't followed him home...YET!

    A Horse we rescued from Slaughter, at 9 Mons. old, living behind me. An 'Appaloosa'(?) we called 'Rocky', comes to visit. They have done everything to keep in his stall, still he breaks out. Then there's ,'Ace' a white 'Arabian' who visite's too. He belong's to one of my son's ex-girlfried. I love all there visit's.

    (((HUGS))) to you 'Gail' Arent animals Great...LOL. Hugs,Pegi

Storage space

I bought this at an auction for $5.00 - the outside wood veneer was badly damaged but the inside was in perfect condition.. so i used crackle paint to hide the exterior wood damage and voila! a perfect storage cabinet for all my blankets and fabrics

    decide if you want to use it indoors or out. When I first saw it I thought it would make an awsome bar caddy - you could even roll it outdoors to the patio should there be a need.

    I could also see it being used as something in the garden like the sink, a potting table, or even as a plant stand with lots of colourful flowers and trailing plants.

    It could also be used as a sideboard/server by a table - would love it on the patio for this purpose.

    You will have to update us when you make up your mind.
