I love this thread, How about this one, I have a sign in my garden and it is wearing out wish I had another one. It say's, Free Weed's Pull your own, so cute it makes people laugh. always catches a eye, and we have one that say's God's signature written in flower's. I just love the one you see everywhere, Live well, laugh often and Love much. One says welcome God Sunshine and Flowers or could put friends. Love the quote's this thread made me chuckle.

Hi Sylvia ~ I got an electric weedwacker when our old gas model croaked. I hated that noisy, smelly, hot thing. I hate those dang blowers too. There are lots of gardening crews using those things blowing the stuff all over someone else's place or out into the road. There are lots of condos and golf courses in our area sucking up the water to keep their grass green. They can pay some kind of fee to be able to keep doing this while the rest of us are put on water restrictions and worry about our little flower gardens whether or not they are going to survive or not. It is very irksome! In some places they won't even let you do away with your lawn, you have to keep it and forget filling your front yard with a cottage type garden. That is a big NO NO. I'm glad we live where we do with no HOA hassling us about what we can or cannot grow. I'm all for doing away with as much lawn as possible. Flowers, herbs and foliage are so much more interesting and life enhancing. FlowerLady

Thank you for the good review goldengirl. It makes me feel much more secure in my decision to order the table with this company. It was actually Dave that I spoke with on the phone, and he was extremely helpful and informative. ttodd - I love barley twist legs. Actually, I just found a great tiger oak table with barley twist legs yesterday at the antique flea market. I don't know where I'm going to put it yet, but couldn't pass it up!

Crafterbeth, I am so glad you are getting some rest. I have only been to Novia Scotia. We plan to make a trip with our kids to PEI this summer. I would love to visit your little piece of Heaven. It looks just like Memphremagog but far more beautiful and less crowded. We love Memphremagog in the summer and ski at Owl's head in the winter. Canada is full of beautiful treasures that are pleasing to the soul, eyes and mind. Now get well soon so you can return to your healthy marathons. And it is wise to have saved some pennies buying in the US. I am sure there are some tiles stores that could ship to one of the tile suppliers in Maine and you could get backsplash tiles in a reasonable price. One idea might be to go with the subway that you like. It will be easier to find thus cheaper. Then order a little flashy piece of tile in a color to match the ubatuba granite. Create your own piece of art with the subways. It will be cheaper than trying to find tile similar to your favorite and in a way might be more beautiful. The decorative piece can be ordered by a tile shop in Maine. This is where you would splurge just a tiny bit for a bit of excitement. Have everything shipped to Maine. Here are some visuals to think about. ~boxerpups Accent tile Trinity distinctive designs Subway Backsplash in one color with a row of accent tile Mosaics BS Here is a tile pattern you could follow, Visit Modwalls.com Glasstileoasis.com Lowes.com
