Pots


I have really been putting off that sewing project. I mean I am still putting off that sewing project. We had such a cool and rainy spring here in Oklahoma that I didn't put any potted plants out. Well, okay, I never have put any out since we moved in February 2008. I just couldn't bear to lift one more thing. This year I got a little enthusiast about outdoor work since I need to be sewing. This pile was waiting for more than a year.




Then I found this lovely chair and got interested in the garden again.





Sprayed it with clear to seal that patina. It has been green, pink and white during its life. The same thing could be said about me.





I collect children's chairs so had to get this sweet one. It is a folding chair. Can't you just see some fidgety little kid getting folded up in it? And why does my interest in the garden involve so much furniture?





I put out a bunch of pots but they need to develop a little before I photograph them. However, these maidenhair ferns are going wild and are very happy on my dining table. We eat outside every single night that weather permits. That watering can is my mother's. She was still using it when I snatched it up. I see them in antique shops for stupid prices. When did junk become junque?




So now that I have been green and broken all my fingernails off I can get going on those drapes. Its. Just. So. Nice. Out....

  1. It looks beautiful so far! I love potted plants. Your choice of furniture is wonderful, and I laughed at your "pink, green, and white" comment. :-)

  2. That Robin's colors chair is yummy. Oh, I could see my wee one getting folded up in that chair with just feet in the air. Something about that makes me want to come over immediately.

  3. My garden keeps me away from life's responsibilities too, but I like it that way. Especially with seasons.

    Love what you said about the colors on the chair relating to you.

    Cheers, Kate

  4. Oh! I thought this post was going to be about something else entirely. But seriously, you have a lovely patina yourself, girl, and I have yet to see even a smidge of rust!

  5. Don't you just love container gardening? You can move pots around and change the look of a garden space so easily.

    I'm jealous--I have never been able to grow maiden's hair ferns! They are so lacy and lovely!
