Mo, I agree with Harry, I absolutely love the way they put the structures together around their St. Augustine entrance. So creative. I hope you find them at home someday, I cannot wait to see more.

Beth, love the light fixture remake. Cool idea for a planter. I will keep that in mind.

I found this large bird cage at a garage sale this morning for $10 and snapped it up.  It's housing a couple of fuschias at the moment.

I just snaped the pic cause I was so happy that the succulents filled in so nicely. If I ever get to the farm I want to plant a flower bed, night stand and have this and other old hospital things I have all together. I have been a nurses aide and helped the elderly in their homes for lots of years. It would be a tribute kinda thing when I finally get to just stay home on the farm and do what I love, growing food, herbs ect.

thanks everyone...Tanya that has been hanging since the 9-11 attack.  I have to get my husband on board with certain projects but most of the time he is very agreeable once he "sees" it...not evenyone does until they see the finished project.
