Do you know what this is? It is my grandmother's old wringer washing machine. I am not sure where the roller attachment is. I remember helping her when I was little, I always turned the handle on the wringer. I found it old and rusted at her home. I think it makes an interesting plant stand on our deck. Every time I see it I think of my grandmother and all the fun memories I have of her.

I just love the way it turned out. I love finding free treasures.


One man's trash is truly anothers treasure. I took a load of stuff to the local dump and look what I found. Isn't she a beauty. I can not believe someone threw this away. I am very glad they did.

We went to First Monday in Canton. I found an old wood painter's ladder and painted it white. I had some linen pillow cases that my grandmother made to hang on the ladder. I need to get a close up picture of the details they are really beautiful.

Just sharing flowers blooming at Our Cottage Nest.


I am so happy my roses are blooming. All pink and pretty.









This is a pretty window box Steve built. I bought the old iron piece at a garage sale for $5.00 and really did not know what to do with it. I just love what it adds to the window box.

This cute dog was just posing with her Easter Basket. She was enjoying all the attention.
Don't you wish you had this beautiful pink dogwood in your front yard?












This is a beautiful yard in the azalea district in Tyler. They had so many beautiful flowers. This couple just open their yard up to anyone who wants to walk through it.

I have been doing a little decorating for Easter before leaving for Houston for the
week-end. I am excited to go and spend some time with kids, shopping, eating out
and celebrating our daughter's 29th birthday. Hope you all have a wonderful
week-end.

My sweet husband brought me these wonderful smelling Hyacinth







I love my chocolate bunnies
