Procrastinator's Party and thrift sale finds.

Here's my wonderful finds from Friday's Jr. League Thrift sale I love everything I found ..




Isn't this so pretty .. can't wait to get it on our bed but it needs some airing out and sunshine first.



Love my little desk and chair find ~ I bought the chair first to use with a desk we already have then I found the desk not even realizing that they were a set, as I was loading it into the car Beth pointed it out which makes it that much more fun because one piece was on one side of the Civic center and the other was on the other side .. too cool they were meant to stay together. I am still going to use the chair with the desk we had and the desk is going in our bedroom to use as a bedside table. The top has some artwork done in red ball point ( Grils Rule lol ) that I need to sand off and hubby has already fixed a broken piece so with a good cleaning and a little wax she will be beautiful again. Can you read the carving inside of the drawer ..
it says K.W + R.L. 52 ... ahhhhhhh ..





and how about the fabulous piece of artwork to go over our bed ..lol The brown paper on the back was stamped Feb. 28, 1970 now ya'll all know you want this in your bedrooms ...



and this big basket was under a table marked $5.00 . I scooped it up quickly. I have been looking all summer for something to put on the front porch to store my blankets that I cover the ferns with when we have a little cold snap.



and books .. I always come home with books and basket ..lol



I am joining the lovely Miss Melissa and other wonderful bloggers for the The Inspired Room Procrastinator's Party Miss Melissa is encouraging us to finish up all those projects that we have been procrastinating over all summer. We have two weeks to finish our projects so ya'll wish me luck ~

I'm proclaiming to get all my thrift sale finds cleaned, painted and in place. Turn that 1970 artwork into something fabulous. Finish making the pillows for our bed and finish the Sunflower pillows for the porch .. whew ! There I said it ... so now I need to get busy .. Go checkout the other projects being done then come back on Tuesday October the 20th to see if we all finished ..lol





The rain has stopped but it is still cloudy. I finally got to see my beautiful new rain chain that Miss Bobbie gave me for my birthday in action .. I love it.. Thank you Bobbie loves ya !



Have a fun day !
hugs ya'll, Cherry

What a lovely way to start October ~ I Won !

I don't really know how to put into words my excitement over being chosen as The Best Georgia Gardening Blog of 2009 from Blotanical but I can tell you between that and seeing the first bloom on my Confederate Rose this morning I am one very excited girl.




Confederate Rose ~ Hibiscus mutabilis
The flowers open pure white and change color over a three-day period until they are deep pink and then as they die assume a dark "blue-pink" hue. The most notable characteristic of this flowering shrub is that flowers of three distinct colors appear on the bush simultaneously as the blooms color cycle independent of one another.

Blotanical is a very special community of people that love gardening, love talking about gardening, love showing off not only their gardens but also their neighborhoods, towns and travels. When I was excepted in to this special community March of 2008 I knew I had stepped right into something great. It is growing by leaps and bounds everyday. There is always something new to see and someone ready to leave a kind word or to help you. There are gardeners from all over the world sharing their day with us. When I am shivering with cold others are showing of their beautiful summer flowers.

I have met some very special people through Blotanical I would like to say thank you to Stuart Robinson from Western Australia for creating this wonderful community and letting me be apart of it. Thank you for all the time away from your own garden while you are continuing to make Blotanical special.

I would also like to say thank you to Miss Lois for passing on her love of gardening to me .. even though I will never forgive you for embarrassing me in front of my very first date! She made him unload a truck load of manure before he could take me out .
I would also like to thank my niece Jessica who encouraged me to make my blog public ~ ya'll were never suppose to see all this !! To my girlfriends that have carried me through the hardest year ever ~ I love ya'll ! I could go on and on for I am a southern girl and we do love to talk .. and since this is my big hurrah' ... but I will close now with one Giant thank you to everyone for your wonderful comments, for thinking my blog is special enough too not only honor me with this award but worthy of your continued visits even when it's all about babies....

hugs ya'll, Cherry
