Tattered Treasures

One of my favorite things to do is to rummage for unique items to furnish my home or landscape my patio and garden. It could be anything from rustic signs to old furniture that could use a little TLC.

Over the years I have accumulated stuff that I have stored knowing I would surely find something creative to do with someday. I see potential in the treasures others would consider junk, and how rewarding to see finished results :) Even one coat of paint can bring one piece to life again.

When constructing the small sitting area of my garden I wanted some fragrant flowers nearby to enjoy so I planted Jasmine. The pretty white flowers seem to be blooming at night and what a treat to the senses even from a distance with a slight breeze! There's nothing like the heavenly smell of fresh blooming Jasmine flowers :)
It is known to have the power to eliminate stress and depression and I believe it!

Gnomes, They are said to bring GOOD Luck to your garden and promote growth. I think it creates an impression :)

This is the most thrilling moment after planting my seeds :) The weather is breaking and the sprouts are finally coming through! gives me a sense of appreciation for all the hard work involved in building my little corner of paradise.
My Radish and Lettuce started sprouting over the weekend, and this morning I saw my Peas and Sunflowers peeking through!
