Distressed Vanity

Photo by Jody Gabara

We found this vanity at a garage sale and decided to use it in the house for a display of our country dishes. I painted it with a distressed look and added some French material to the seat.

We couldn't resist yesterday taking these photos of the mother feeding one of her babies. They are getting so loud now and we know it's about time they will be leaving their nest. It's been a National Geographic moment.

Birds in the Garden

Everyday in our garden is a new surprise. We saw a mother feeding her babies today.

Teapot

Found this teapot at a swap meet and attached a brooch to it for some whimsy. Now it holds my jute and scissors.

Mosaic Desk

Photo by Jody Gabara

This was an old desk that I thought would look good with a mosaic design.  I bought plates at garage sales and thrift stores.  I loved the way it turned out.  What do you think?

Statuary

Photo by Stan Gabara

Statues give you that old world look when aged. The longer they're outside, they will start to grow moss on them. Your garden will take on that mediterranean design.

Stamped Pots

Photo by Stan Gabara

These are biodegradable seed starting pots. I stamped them until I am ready to use them. Just put soil, then seeds and when it's time to transplant, set pot in ground. They're made of peat and wood fiber. They come in all different sizes, the perfect choice for all your seedlings.
