Who’s going to solicit way out here?

You mean the awesome crackly, aged, rope-edged work of art there?Yeah, I saw you eyeing that up.. Well, it’s actually so aged that it’s in three pieces, with the potted fern sitting inside.

I refuse to part with it though.. Love the flip flops and rain boots.The pot belonged to our neighbor in our old house.She was the most wonderful gardener.

One of these ladies who dug up her whole lawn to replace it with a perfectly timed botanical symphony that lasted all year.It was a little magical what she did in that little townhouse garden..

Sadly she passed away a few years ago.

New neighbors moved in and decided to clear out the yard and put in a lawn for their dogs.I’m sure that I like the idea behind mine and I think it was fun to totally cheat my way through making them.. I’m not sure that I like these particular ones in this particular front hall application, though..

I started with one of my Walmart flour sack dish towels, and drew a really simple window pane plaid on it in Sharpie.. Then I cut it to size and hot glued the top to make room for the “curtain rod”….…Which was actually a bamboo garden stake that I grabbed out of the mud room.

I hot glued the whole mess up on the window frame just to see how it would look.Then I got to thinking that if it looked great as is, that would be amazing cause I totally cheated my way through it..
