Thanks Slow...I think this one works! Yeah! 3 cheers for the Queen!

Oh Oh and Oh my! It is absolutly stunning, with all your birdbaths and urns and oh I could just go on and on. I do have to admit your yard is really close to what I have always dreamed of having. Thank you for sharing it and it was really nice with my morning cup of coffee!
Donna

flagtruck - what fabulous pictures! Thanks for sharing. I love your fern-filled birdbaths and the brick patio, especially. You have a beautiful yard. You are very talented! Hope you don't mind if I "borrow" some of your ideas when I make a patio next summer (hopefully). Thanks again for sharing:)

WOW!! Thanks for the tour!
And that "Flagtruck"!!! how interesting!!!!
You are one busy lady!
Laurel

Your pictures are fabulous!! I don't know where to start! Your gardens, your work areas, your house, YOUR TRUCK!! Thank you so much for the tour! Wow, all that space! Everything is beautiful.

Maria

absolutely amazing! I'm totally stunned. wow, that's fabulous!

how big is your lot?

SOOO jealous of your waterfall, but even more jealous of your workbench/poting area. I would love to have that!

Flag, your garden junk and pics of collections are so inspiring. I want to come back and look some more when I have more time! So nice of you to share all your pics with us, I feel like I've been on a fantastic tour. (Clap, clap ) I see you have lots of paints in your craft room--so that must mean you are a painter too. Would love it if you'd take pics of some of those projects and post them on the painting forum for us to enjoy too. You are very creative and very talented, no wonder Slow and Rosemary were so thrilled when they visited you! Luvs

Wonderful gardens Flag! your potting area is a gardener's
dream. That big birdhouse is a beauty too.
That old screen door has been on my search for list forever! I love your colorful kitchen! Loved it all, WOW!!
thanks for the tour.

I'm in awe at your beautiful homestead there. I'm going to ask the same question, how big is this place? It's got to be huge for that much stuff. And a pond with fish too, way too cool. You have made some beautiful pieces, fantastic. The potting shed, everything, I'm sitting here saying WOW, look at that. And I love that truck. Go U.S.A.

Sal

PLEASE OH PLEASE>>>ADOPT ME!!! I WANNA COME LIVE THERE!!!!!

::elbowing calamity outta the way!:: No, adopt MEMEMEEEE!

Thank you for hanging in there to get your pictures uploaded. I had a *great* time looking at all your pictures. It's a faerieland, I tell you!

Nancy

I've really enjoyed my tour around your place! It's fabulous...and so close to my dream version of a garden.
Thanks for sharing.

Be Safe, Rach

Triple WOW!!!! That is soo awsome..I want to come live with you too!!! I am soo jealous of all your metal chairs. I have hunted for years they are hard to come by. I just love it all!!!

I will adopt any and all of you! My lot 230'deep x 130' wide. The pond is 27,000 gal. It started out small,and kept growing. My potting area is just a potting table and a bunch of cedar fence boards on the back side of my shop.
The long bench is made of 5 boards with 2x4 braces under them. I had plants on the shelves last year and no place for the pots, so put the plants around the yard and pots on the shelves. Much better.
Thanks to all of you for the compliments...I spend a lot of time out there...any of you are welcome to use any of the ideas you see there...that too is a compliment.
Thanks again and thanks to Slow for helping me get these posted.....

I've been gone all day and just now checking in to see you were successful in showing your wonderful works and dream gardens. Watching the slidshow made me want to come back,sit on the patio, walk to the next bench, sit awhile, stroll through another path to find another chair, etc. etc. etc. I absolutely LOVE your place so much. Great pic of the truck too. Now I understand your name. What a talented lady!!!!!!!

Stunning album! I LOVE everything! It's warm, friendly, homey and most importantly filled with the most delicious junk!!! Jane and Nancy I'm joining you and getting adopted, too!
Cait

I think it all has been said. I enjoyed viewing all
the pictures. Thanks a bunch.

It took a long time to see it all. I watched it as a single slideshow and I kept having to stop, back up, look again, start again, stop, back up. Then I looked at individual albums, enjoying every bit.

Thank you for putting the album online where we could see. Looking forward to seeing more and more.

Nell

Cait, yep, it looks like there's room for all of us over there. Good thing, too. Oh man, I love it. All that space and all that good stuff. ;-)

All of you are invited any ole time. There is plenty of room and lots of places to just sit and look and talk, etc.,etc.,etc...Thanks for all the kudos..that makes the hard work worthwhile...come on Slow...the leaves were vacumned up this am...looks pretty good right now. I wade in the pond tomorrow and clean out the leaves there.Will have to wait until noon when it warms up a little. Thanks to all of you, you are the GREATEST!

flagtruck, I'm so intrigued by all the posts of your garden and the use of "junk". When I click on "My Photos" I don't get anything. Are your photos still up for viewing. I really want to see what everyone is raving about. I need ideas for a new "cottage garden" I'm getting ready to create.

Darn! I missed what everyone was raving about.

Quince, come on over to the Cottage forum.

Help! I can't get to the pics, either! I am drooling over the descriptions.

Came back to see if I could get to the "My Photos". Still can't but I did a search of 'flagtruck' and came up with this posting with a clickable jpg of her 'Penny Urn Fountain'.

If that Urn is a sample of what we are missing.......I am really drooling now!!

Flagtruck or slow or somebody...please help us...with this winter weather, we need more eye candy!

I am getting an error when I try to view this page)-:

Oh, I have a little time and decided to check on the Junk side, and found FLAG's thread. Sorry, y'all. Since I've been hanging out on the SG/M side, I don't check this side very often. GRAM: I was just mentioning to ROSEMARYTHYME last Thursday on our junkin' trip that I haven't heard from FLAG for awhile. Nasty weather is keeping us all inside. I'll try to call her tomorrow and see if she'll post her pics again. Actually, I'll send her an email right now.

Thank you slowmedown, I can hardly wait to see what everyone is raving about.

The penny urn is beautiful.

Edna

FLAG responded quickly to my email, and said she'll try to re-post her pictures today. Y'all won't BELIEVE this woman's work. She's a one-woman crew of creativity. To walk around her gardens is a - well, I don't have enough words to describe her place, her enthusiasm, her talent, and friendliness. WHAT an artist!!! I LOVE HER.

Thanks so much, Slow! We will all anxiously await the pics. I spent the morning looking at all her jpg posts. The blue bottles are awesome. She definetly has the Ar-teest touch!!! You and Rosemarythyme are so lucky to have been able to see it all in person! I've got my box of tissues ready to catch the drool!!!

gram nh...where are the pictures of the blue bottles?

I'm also waiting to see the rest of the pics...

We have snow today...and it is blowing so drifts are building up...

Garden pictures would brighten my day.

patti

I can't view the photos! Darn it! I have been trying for two days.

I get an error message too. Darn it !

Patti, Do a search at the bottom of the main GJ page. Put in flagtruck and you will get a bunch of posts from her and ones she responed to. I went through them all...found lots of stuff I had missed, especially from back in Nov.!

I have to run now, but I will be on tomorrow...all day I hope as the snow is on its way here and I am not going out in it!

Stay safe all!

I'm so wanting to see the pictures of your garden, art, etc, but I can't get it to open.....yahoo said ERROR............arrrrgggg

It appears FLAG isn't lurking these days. She must be really busy. Why don't y'all bombard her w/emails thru the GW???

bringing this to the top....don't want to let it get away and miss the pictures...

Flag...I sure hope you find time to share your pictures again....I need some ideas desperately...
If I have to give up my home and move...I'm going to need some good junking ideas to make me feel at home wherever my feet land.

Home is where the heart is.....mine is out here...so I'll need somethings to tie my heart to ....Come to my aid with lots of pics of your garden will ya.

patti

I just sent her a link to this thread. Hope she has time to post.

Whew! Thought it was my computer! Please get this working!

ttt

deezie

Wow! I love all her projects! Especially the birdhouse teapots----or teapot birdhouses! I would love to know how she attaches them to the boards for hanging and how she keeps the lids on them like that. Wonderful pix!

I am totally impressed!! My back yard is mostly barren. I am 71 and figure it will be a work in process until I kick the garden bucket. One day I was sitting on my patio looking out at all my mess and said to myself, why couldn't you just have bought this little place to retire and accept it as it is? My answer, Because!! I need something to do. Sigh.....
