The sun was shining and it got to be 80 degrees today, with a nice breeze. Perfect garden weather. There was so much to photograph. It was hard to choose only a few of them for this post. Hopefully nice weather is here to stay. ~Who would have thought it possible that a tiny little flower [...]
These are the great vintage finds from the garage sale I went to. This picnic basket is in almost perfect condition. There are no breaks in the outside and it is lined with RED(my fave) and has service for 6 of plates, cups and silverware. I am not fond of the tableware but the basket [...]
