Hey Farmgirls! Well, I don't know if I'm putting this under the right category but this is where I'm gonna start. It was an absolutely beautiful day here in Kentucky, around 70 or so, and I had so much fun "playing/working" outside! I made a lil' something that I thought maybe you farmgirls would like to try. Simply put, it is a wreath made of my old garden castaways - leaky water hose, rusty shovel, lil' bucket, tattered gloves, and some left over flowers. It would be sooooo cute on a potting shed or garden gate. I'm gonna try and download a picture here but if I don't succeed - hop on over to my blog for the very simple instructions and tell me what you think. Just a fun, easy project I thought you all might like! Happy Day!  Cathy Cobblestone

I need to get down your way to see your shop--I love the photos, but I'm a tactile person and want to see everything and touch everything!!!! I visit Miss Wilma and I'd love to hop on over your way, too.

Jess(smoothiejuice)made a hose wreath for me in the recycle swap and I just love it! It hangs on the outside wall of the kitchen, in the garden. Such a cute idea. Yours is just beautiful, and I love your blog!!
