Oranges And Lemons

I've gone with an Orange and yellow theme post.  I've had quite a few items in these colors land in my shopping basket  lately.

The lemonade Pyrex containers I found one with a lid the other was lidless.
The orange Pyrex container I found with the lid.
The four bowls in orange and yellow are all Pyrex bowls.
The small Pyrex dish holding a orange and lemon is on top of a vintage tea towel with oranges and lemons on it. 
The tablecloth is also a vintage cloth in excellent condition.

This flower shopping bag is perfect for  going to the secondhand stores I can fold it up in my purse and if I have any items I've bought I have my own bag.

The licence plate is a 1967 British Columbia plate.
The color of the Marigolds worked perfect with my color theme.

These mug holders are something I'm always looking for in different colors.
As I've said before they bring back memories of my grandparents cabin.
The Cups are made in England.

Country Life

I've lived in the country for most of my life.  The following pictures are some scenes of country life.

This sign is on our roads to remind us that farmers still use these roads.  With so many of our farms closing down it's always nice to know some are still supplying our needs.  Of course it's still nice not to end up behind a farm vehicle.

These pictures just remind me of a warm lazy summer day.

Out In The Yard

The following collage of pictures are from around the yard.
 

 
Top row left to right:
- This Hosta is called Whirlwind and is part of my Hosta garden.
- This figurine is a chimney sweep made by Cortendorf in Germany he's had a hard life he's broken his neck at some point and my grandmother glued him back together.  I thought he would take a little trip outside to have his picture done with the Marigolds.
- I would love to tell you the name of this Hosta but like the Donovan song title " Catch The Wind" the plant name tag did just that during the winter.  Nope I didn't do a map with plant names.

Middle Row:
- This shows you our vegetable garden area and are makeshift greenhouse for Tomatoes.
- I have these Nasturtiums in pots where the walkway to the house and driveway meet.
- This stained glass piece is near my vegetable garden.  I found it at a garage sale.

Bottom row:
- The windchimes are a flea market find and is in my strawberry patch.
- The Garlic I planted last fall.
- Wooden half barrel with pansies in it.

The following pictures are from the family collection.  These pictures are of my my great uncle Fred's place.  He had wonderful gardens and won awards for his flowers.  The black and white photo of him working in his garden I would guess was taken in the 1970's not that long before we lost him.

 

My garden art in these pictures (just a few of many items) - the wooden half barrel planter, chimes, stained glass window, repaired little boy from my Grandma are all either thrifted or gifted. I've been adding garden art for years, all thrifted, mostly metal, wood and glass. Hope you enjoyed a peek at my garden and the thrifted additions.
