found an iron planter basket {{gwi:151495}}From tipsy hanging
some old iron patio chairs with black pleather cushions very retro gonna paint them black to match my Chandy and my planter. {{gwi:151497}}From tipsy hanging
I picked up 5 panels of a retro iron room divider {{gwi:151499}}From tipsy hanging
black as well to use for the wall panels in my seating area with all the other black iron....I will surely post pics when I get it finished, have to send the chairs to be sandblasted want to to a good job on them.

Oh WOW. I want to come shopping with you!! What a haul in one day! I love those iron panels and the basket. There is never neat iron stuff around here. You lucky gal, have a ball playing in the garden with all your goodies!

Lynne, thanks for the reminder to get to TJ Maxx this season. I didn't think there was one near me, then my neighbor told me about one in a nearby town. I've been wanting to go look. I also wanted to tell you that your angels are so neat too. One of those would sure look good in a tablescape too I'll bet. Luvs

FWIW I noodled around the manual a bit more and I found that 'stain removal' might make me happy. It sends in cold water (profile wash! not that I need it, but still) and heats the water to 'the selected cycle's temperature'. Adds about 20 minutes to a load. That'll make me happy, if I end up wanting more time. So far, so good with the shorter wash. ===========>>>>READ THISI just went downstairs to check my load of sheets (two queen flats sewn into a duvet, two twin fitted Xlongs, six pillow cases). This configuration is particularly finicky for my Danby - and it was also for the Bosch, the load was pretty wet. Thank heavens I insisted on any model that had a rinse/spin option! Every machine should have that option!

Hmmm... do you really want to know? What gets me is not what I find but what I lost. I wanted to make soup and thought I had a chunk of ham. No ham to be found so I bought some... the next time I looked in the freezer there was that ham sitting there right under the ice cube bin. The bottle of peppermint schnapps is about 5 years old... still in excellent shape if about gone. Dolly is down to the last couple packages of road kill venison... she loves a frozen block of meat to lick on a hot day. I have three hearts and two tounges that are coming out. Bag of pickle spice on the way from Penzey's and they will be pickled soon. I'm back on 7 day work weeks so what soon is I don't really know. Promised myself some steaks when I get the freezer cleaned good. Somehow I lost a quart bag of jalapeno peppers. They were in there and then they were gone... perhaps behind the ham? : ) lyra

The tree is 10 feet tall and now in our front yard. I hung all my bird feeders on it. We also made a smaller one about 5 feet tall and made a floor lamp out of it and also use it as a display for my glass chimes at shows. The screen i used silcone to attach the glass to the metal. The dress is handmade from a women here in town. I love her clothing. I have a few things from her. I really like that window green house. Thanks all for the great comments.
