Dogwood Trees

We are lucky to have inherited 2 large Dogwood trees, one either side of the driveway entrance..Don't they look lovely all in bloom...

We still have A LOT of clearing of rubbish trees in this area...Something else we inherited was 20+ years of unchecked Cherry Laural....It is a shame really because they do create a cute natural arch that frames the view of the fields across the road beautifully...But with as sick as they made me and lil Sara this year, there is no doubt they have to go.

Have a wonderful Blessed Day.

$10.48 Chandelier for my Garden...

I was so excited to share this makeover, I had to rush the setting sun this evening to be able to get a quick photo of it to show you all my finished Garden Chandelier...And yes you read the title right, it only cost me $10.48...Well less when you consider the left over supplies I have...

It was made from a re-purposed light fixture (Free on the side of the road)
2 mixed pks of pink and clear plastic diamond beads and faux pearls ($3 per pk...but I have about 1/2 left over for the next sparkly project)
And I purchased 3 packets of large plastic "crystals" (Walmart clearance $1.50each pk...and I have more than half left over also)

And a can of 0.98c white spray paint....

I am not sure exactly where it will live in the garden, it might end up being a little roving depending on what is growing and/or in bloom....

This is the before...I removed the lighting fixtures and the electrical wire...There is also a round metal disk that attached to hold up a large glass bowl...The metal disk is now the support frame for the bed netting in the guest room...The bowl may become a bird bath yet...will depend if I can find a place in the garden it will be safe from stomping 2yr old feet....

Blessings Kelsie
