Making Plans

I've been going through my inspiration folder....and boy....am I getting inspired....and making plans.

Last year I purchased an old bike like this one at the thrift store for $2.00 and this year I plan on painting it black and adding a wicker bicycle basket to it....can't wait.

I love how this tall woodsy purple plant adds so much life to an otherwise blank wall....so country.
*Update* Someone was kind enough to let me know what flower this is....it's a Verbena Bonasaris...thank so much Lisa!

I'm looking forward to having dirt in my hands and the scent of mowed grass in the air.

P.S. I've also added some new items to the shop today.

  4. Andrea,
    Lucky girl finding a bike like that!! What a fun little project! I am so chomping at the bit for spring. It was beautiful here for a couple days, but now the rain is back....ugh. But I can't complain, compared the the East coast!

    Lovely pictures!
