~Kitchen Garden Art~

It was a beautiful day gardening in San Diego today. 

I was looking for some string to tie up a plant and couldn't find any.

I have been collecting rolling pins from garage sales, 

thrift stores and flea markets.

As I was planting I remembered,

 I had one in the garden for fun.

I thought why not use it for holding the jute I can never find.

I just needed to find the right spot.

My new inspirational board on another potting table.

 I'm going to add more things to inspire me in the garden.

I found the perfect place on the picket fence potting table.

 I love the whimsical look.

A Whimsical Tree and Simple & Sweet Fridays #41

I wanted to have a whimsical Christmas tree in 

my kitchen this year.

I used branches and dried some oranges.

During the day, the sunlight makes the oranges

look like stained glass.

I put them in a vintage silver ice bucket 

with some freshly picked pomegranates.

 I added little lights that are battery 

operated all over the branches.

I glittered some old vintage silverware and cookie cutters. I tied them on the tree with some red and white gingham ribbon.

I had to add a little Paris candle to the vignette!

Wishing you all 

a Whimsical Christmas!
