My Garden

I planted my first Vegi Garden last week with the help of my green fingered friend Sarah. I planted it in pots as we are renting. I planted Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Basil, Herbs, Squash.

Here are some pics, I'm very excited that I may actually grow something as i have never successfully kept anything alive. So far I have not had to water anything as we have had so much rain even hail.. I blame Madeleine.. Yes my sister is here.. Ill add some pics in the next blog!

Ive been very into making my home my home. I finally finished off some projects I had been putting off for ages and that lead me to getting into a nesting phase. Im still there the only thing that is holding me back is lack of money. So far everything I have done has come from a second hand shop and I have added some of my creative touches to it.. The only thing that is new from a shop is my blue lamp. I love it, it is going to be the accent colour in the living room. Below are some pics of touches I have put in the house.

This is a gift from Aarons friends they make these dolls by hand. They are called "Dolls For Friends" check them out in the link below. Here is an old camera of Aarons. This is mainly his type of style.

Below is Aarons style again, the chandelier is mine but the things on the mantel are Aarons he like photos of Red Indians.



This is my corner, my new blue lamp that I brought it was reduced from $100 to $30 Bargain!!
The pig is a presant from some friends for our anniversary. I love it!



Below is a chest of drawers that I painted for Aaron, It is black with white knobs. I also painted the frame. It a work in progress.




Below is our desk it will eventually be replaced with a chair, but for now it has the flowers Aaron brought me and a box I brought for 50c from the thrift store. I love the light in this picture




This is the kind of chair I would eventually like to have in the bedroom. Its called a slipper chair



The small chest of drawers blow is playing the part of a bedside table for now. I painted it and put the black scroll tranfers on it. I also brought the lamp for $2 and painted it black. I think I have enough black and white in my bedroom now, so im going to focus on colour

This is my Jewelery box, it was old and brown so I shabby chic -ed it. It was fiddly to do and took time but they are great little projects and look stunning after wards. My colourful tea pot as a anniversary gift from a friend last year. I found the frame at a yard sale for 50c.. I love it and it has our wedding pic in it.





The frames below are what I'm planning for where the white frame is now with the flowers, above our chest of drawers.



Im also planning to create a feature out of frames and art work in the living room. See below. Oh what fun and so much to do.
