Hi Bonnie ! How have you been ? I have some Arizona Sun blanket flower I just finished collecting ! Also I have some Black Krim and Hillbilly tomato seeds ? Let me know if you're interested ... your morning glory mix sounds beautiful ;-) Iris

your cousin .. hmmm.... lol a key consideration is what does he want to grow ... sun plants .. like veggies.. or shade plants ... the problem with the secret garden idea is that the plants that make it secret will also make it shaded ... i agree.... GG's are going to be way to big.. way too fast ... also ... any perimeter plants.. will eventually invade the bed with roots .... look into thuja occ. de groots spire for thin tall plants... google the name ken

Hi Jen looking through posts. Are you still trading? LMK Debbie

premier, the window isn't as small as it looks in the photo I posted. Not really an expert at taking digital photos. budge1, looks like someone found your example - and I like it. I am looking on the interet to find some material I like. Not that I need a sewing project now, but chances of finding the colors I want already made is probably very slim. I think a lot of little things wouldn't be good either - either just one teal or aqua clock or a valance. dekr8 - are those your curtains? Did you make them or do they come already made up? If you made them, did you use a pattern? I really like that idea. I can almost picture some brown and aqua valance hanging from those pegs - I like the use of pegs - different than most valances. The first material, (link posted below) edged in brown would look great on my window I think. DH and I love aqua too. We once went to look at a boat and when we walked up and saw the interior was aqua, we just looked at one another and knew we were going to buy it. This is the first time we have used it in our decorating. Well except maybe years ago when the southwest type colors were in. retro cotton fabric, scroll down for photo vintage hip chocolate and brown Thanks for everyone's help. I have never bought anything on ebay before, I might try on that first fabric and see how it goes - I have 5 hours to think about it or I could just order one yard - since it is 54 inches wide that is probably all I would need - or I could get two yards and do a couple of pillows for the family room sofa or a table runner for my dark table. Would too much coordination with the same material be too hokey?
