Roselee, Bags of mulch in the back? Ha! That's' another one that DH hates to hear. He'll drive the whole load to the back alley before he even touches them. They must have grown up in the same locality... like 'waaay' up north, lol. Jolana, "... as many plants as we wanted?" Now, that's a really great thought! The sun sails are so pretty. I've always seen them, but I didn't know they had a such a pretty name. It's so lyrical... like 'Sun Sails in the Sunset.' Okay, I'm a little off... :-)) This post was edited by sunnysa on Sat, May 24, 14 at 10:01

Thanks for your kind words! I wont let the chair set in craft heaven to long LOL! I was more upset over loseing the purple flowers that was planted at the back of the chair, dont know what there name is, but they had the most wonderful scent, you could smell it just walking by, if anyone knows I sure would love to find out there name, I was told its a annual. anjabee,I read alot of the fourms, just dont have much to contribute most of the time, I do enjoy reading the painting fourm,and looking at all the photos, you all do a beautiful job! maybe if I get back to the other chair and fix what I dont like I might post a picture. Mammie, the white glue will give you a crackle finish, so much cheaper to use I will post a link to the site where I learned how to do it, not good at giveing instructions myself and there is alot of good info at the site, so nice of the crafter to share with us! http://reviews.ebay.com/Confessions-of-a-Lazy-Painter-How-To-Paint-Stuff-QUICK_W0QQugidZ10000000000018516 at the bottom of the page look under more guides you can read about the crackle finish, hope this helps, also dont ever feel bad about asking a questions if you dont understand something, there are alot of helpful people at these fourms, with alot of good info, and willing to share. Happy Crafting Oddie

I saw some photos of a Garden meeting of some kind elsewhere on the net. The dessert table had a pumpkin (real) surrounded by pots of mums, and I thought, 'Janet's pumpkin could recycle from place to place and year to year as a centerpiece item.' I really like it. I'll start watching for bundt pans.

Been browsing around these sights for a long time and this was just calling me to tell my story. If you have not made the connection, we do drive a '57 Chevy. We were on our way to a car show one Friday evening. Well, as luck would have it we broke down. I decided to walk up hill about 5 blocks to my folks house. As the fellows were fixing the car. Here is where the luck comes in. I happened on a big dumpster in the driveway of a home that the resident had passed away. The family was cleaning out the house and I saw the greatest bike sitting on top of the pile. I was so excited when I got to my folks, i had to patiently wait for DH to get back. When he arrived I told him that we had to go back down the hill to get that bike out of the dumpster. My father almost disowned me and my mother said she would not be accepting any phone calls. They thought I had lost my sanity. Well, all we had to drive was the 57. The bike fit perfect in the trunk!! I was as of that moment the proud owner of a 1950's Montgomery Wards 24" bike in almost new condition. I am a treasure hunter!!
