Part 2 of My BF's Beautiful Garden!

I promised you part two of my best friends beautiful place and I am delivering!

The first photo is at the entrance to her fabulous and totally weed free garden!
I don't know how she does it!
I would need a full time gardener and then some.
She is a Master Gardener though so maybe she has a secret??

OH, PEGGY??

Once again, sit back with a cup of coffee or lemonade and enjoy the pics!

Her hubby builds all her fences, arbors etc. Don't they look amazing?

I have decided that I want to be like her when I grow up!!
Don't you??!! ...SIGH

She found this wheelbarrow at a huge show that we went to in the Spring and it
fits in just perfectly. She does actually use it so she must not have a gardener?! 

She comes up with the neatest ideas to keep critters away.
I don't have a garden that we actually eat food from. Mine is just flowers
so I admire her so much!!

LOVELY place that needs to be photographed for a magazine!
Anyone out there listening?? SMILE!

Dusted off my camera just in time!

I finally talked my bf Peggy into letting me take photos of her place!
I decided I better act before she changes her mind, so this week I took advantage of
the wonderful weather and take photos I did.

I took 192 photos or so! It has been quite awhile since I have even wanted to do a
photo shoot, but I had fun doing this one.

Her place is so immaculate {unlike mine}
Not a weed in sight {mine has weeds everywhere}
She even plants her flowers where they actually should go {I'm such a random planter!}
LOL...Get my drift??

She is a Master Gardener and it shows, but it looked like this even before
she became a MG! I just love it!

So, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of lemonade, sit back and enjoy the photos.

I had too many for one post so I will be doing another post soon.

Isn't this the cutest? I have had this idea in my "gardening file" for years, but she
actually made it a reality instead of just looking at a photo of it.
Somehow I am sure that is much more satisfying!

Isn't it AMAZING??!! I love these lights under the roof of her potting shed.
They are perfect here.

That's all for today, but you can see as I said...not a weed in sight!
Isn't her place gorgeous!!??

I sure wish I had her gumption OR a Master Gardener to come here and work for me...

HEY, PEGGY...!!!???

Vintage Barn Market

I wanted to share my friend Marian's store with you. She has rented out a partial store
in Delta, Ohio and named it
Vintage Barn Market.

She has transformed it beautifully!! I love her style, decor and amazing talent!!

{Sorry this photo is a little blurry, but I just had to include it. Yesterday when I was there someone
had purchased all the clay pots in the cubby so they are gone now}

I believe this gorgeous piece above has found a new home already. 

I love her attention to detail and all the nice pieces that she has to sell. I think my home needs
 a makeover. ha! If I was just starting out setting up house, I would come here for furniture!

Isn't the chalkboard saying soooooooo cute!!! Love it! I may have to steal it Marian!! ::)

French style...YES please! 

I love these bags!! I am afraid that I would be constantly broke if I lived any closer to this
 store. ha!

What a table! Look at the detail?? 

Sorry we have glare here, but a professional photographer I am not. Loving the old  fireplace
surround, the mirrors, oh... I just love it all!! 

Marian must work constantly because she is always taking new pieces in to replace the ones
that have sold. 

I fell in LOVE with this bench from the moment I saw it.

I love the table also, but it is too big for my house.  Just look at the detail on those legs!! I have never seen
 a table like this. So GORGEOUS!!

P.S. The bench now resides in my home. YIPPEE!!!!! 

Marian asked me to sell some of my treasures in her store so I was happy to oblige. 

One of my fun little glittery nests...

Marian and her hubby sure keep busy painting and they do an awesome job!

A beautiful beveled mirror!

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Vintage Barn Market today.  If you want to connect with Marian on
facebook you can click here.  Be sure and tell her that I sent you. :)
Happy Wednesday ~

PS Can I ask you for to bombard heaven for my daughters family please?? Life is so hard sometimes,
especially when you least expect it...:(

My booth and wandering Gypsy

Remember when I gave up my booth to take a break from whatever it was that I was doing? I recommended that my friend Marian take it. {Remember I met her at her store in Blissfield ,Michigan and she knew who I was from reading my blog ...she grabbed me and hugged me} It was a great day!! Well anyhow...she now has my the booth {why I keep calling it MY booth I have no idea because it really isn’t mine anymore} and I wanted to show you how fabulous she has it all set up. I intended to get back up and get some more pictures and that has not happened.

                                      Love all these goodies and how she has them displayed.

                                            I am thinking I need this sign for my kitchen!

                                                            Gorgeous chandelier!!

                                                     In L.O.V.E. with this chalkboard.
                          I stole her idea and came home and wrote the same thing on  mine.
                                                             shh...don't tell her! :)
                                                         

                                              Can't have too many pillows!

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE this basket too!!

I just love everything about how she has it all set up and I hope she stays

there for a long time because it is the best booth in the whole mall!!!

I am so tired today , but wanted to get this post up since it has been several days since I posted. I have just plain ran out of steam from shopping today so I will be resting tomorrow. {that is the plan anyways}   *Smile*

Now for some sad news regarding my kitty Gyspy...she has wandered off and we have not seen her since Sunday.  Remember hubby found her in the middle of the road and brought her home? I think she was born to wander.  We really think that she went to church with us or my daughter's family underneath

the car and then made her home in the town that our church is in. Several of us were standing inside the

church foyer Sunday and noticed this kitty walking around underneath cars and someone made the remark that it probably rode to church underneath someones car. We now think it

was Gyspy because we haven't seen her since!! Little stinker! We put out the word and drove through town looking for her, but so far nothing. I have a feeling if she did come back that she would just do it again.

She obviously has a wandering spirit and just can't stay too long in one place.

Darling gd Annika just loved her to pieces and played with her last time she was here... I haven't told her yet.

I am not planning on replacing Gyspy, but I will keep her memory in my heart.
