If you follow my blog you know I collect tea cups and have a great many. I like them all and I don't want to get rid of any. I also don't want to quit looking for more. I thought about it but decided I enjoy the hunt for pretty ones. But what to do for room!!!
A trip to the thrift store to look at what was available and there was this fairly awful looking set of shelves. Half price ( no wonder) so we paid ten dollars. DH has already begun the transformation.
I can hardly wait until he's done and I can show you what it will look like.
At my son's complex someone left a nice mirror when they moved out. Now it's in my back garden.
DH made a shelf over it to keep some rain off but for now it will be just fine reflecting the many different succulents that love the sunny South side.
We had a hard rain yesterday in the late afternoon. I thought for sure my tall Delphiniums and Foxgloves would be fallen over but they are still standing tall. I, however, am not standing very tall because I got carried away weeding the day before and also yesterday morning. Totally forgot how crippled up I was last year when I overdid things. So once again I learned a hard lesson and for now I am forced to take it easy.
Thanks for visiting today,
GM
Hi Granny Marigold! I love your mirror in the garden! I have only seen it in one other garden and I think they are just so neat. Hmmmm Those shelves do look interesting! Cant wait to see the final product. Nancy
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how a mirror can change the look of an area! I can't wait to see the finished shelves...
ReplyDeleteWeeding is hard work, I just crawl around on the ground:) Your mirror is very nice:)
ReplyDeleteThe mirror looks amazing, what a wonderful addition to the garden. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the shelves. Hope you have recovered after all your hard work in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe shelf unit looks like it will be a great solution, will look forward to seeing its transformation. Love the mirror in the garden, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat an original idea to put the mirror in your garden. Now you have double the plants. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea with the mirror, perfect spot for it, and it makes that garden area appear twice the size! You know how I love makeovers, so I can't wait to see the shelf redone.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling abit more nimble by now! Love the way the mirror adds depth to your garden area! I am very interested to see how your DH will transform those shelves for your collection. Can I send over some of my projects out your way for him to finish?
ReplyDeleteEllabie.
I like the mirror in the garden.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I hope you're feeling much better. Weeding can be rough on back, etc...
ReplyDeleteI collect teapots, but I know a lot of teacup collectors too. What a nice idea.
Happy Weekend😊
Your mirror looks great! What a good idea on a pretty garden patio. I'm sorry you overdid and are paying for it :( Take it easy! Usually if I weed/work/garden until I feel it, I've already gone too far.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your back. Once I start weeding I get consumed by it and want to finish what I started. I, like you, have had to learn that lesson more than once.
ReplyDeleteI love the shelving unit...looking forward to your teacup display. And the mirror in the garden...what a sweet idea! I love it!
