Come On Spring!!

Gosh-if I had known how much stress the brick and mortar shop was giving me I would have just locked the door and walked away a long time ago. I feel like such a heavy burden has been lifted ... ok, a heavy burden HAS been lifted. Anyway, I am trying to make myself quit running around and kicking my heels up while giggling  ~ trying to get on a schedule-re-structure my days.  The giggling can continue but I really need to get some work done.

So I decided to work in the greenhouse for a little while this afternoon. The weather is glorious today!

Here are a few pictures from my greenhouse workout:

Heirloom Yellow Plum Tomatoes

My DIY Upside Down Tomato Planter (5 Gallon Bucket)

Look at those Blooms!

The Key Lime is blooming too!

Here's my 1 gallon bucket of "jelly bean" tomatoes. They should put on fruit about the time the yellow plum tomatoes are about half way through producing.

The wooly lambs ear right outside the greenhouse is starting to green up...spring must be on it's way.

Bench Re Do

Remember this bench?

It now looks like this:

The paint is "Celery Ice"

and here's a close up of the fabric:

The fabric looks gray in this picture but it is actually green and white-ish.

Have a beautiful day!

Two Guys on the Road

I'm featuring my friends Perry and Clay today at Two Guys on the Road with Antiques . <-Perry's Blog, however Clay quite often posts.

This was on Perry's blog from last night.

I would have never guessed what this was (in the pictures below). 

Clay's blog Two Guys on the Road with Books

is definitely a good read. This guy has a great sense of humor and I love reading about his Pyrex addiction!

I adore these guys and love reading about their adventures.

Check them out!

Still moving...

Tommy and I hauled several loads of furniture out of the shop yesterday and I swear...stuff inside the shop  just kept mutliplying! Today we have vowed to finish moving the stuff in to storage and then I need to get the storage space set up. I'll post pictures later today. The shop looks like it exploded but I actually have a system (definitely wouldn't be apparent to anyone else :-)

I'll be so glad to be done as I am certainly feeling my age AND I'm afraid if I keep working Tommy like this he's going to run away screaming one of these days.

Have a beautiful week!

Moving Day

It's rainy and snowy (later this afternoon) and I will be moving things out of my brick and mortar shop...in to a storage unit. The time has come to say goodbye to the little strip mall and move on to other exciting adventures. I probably wont be posting for a week or so but when I do get back to posting I will have much more time and I'm pretty sure much more energy...

Have a great weekend!
