poor man's gard[en]

so it has definitely been

way too hot the last

few days to work on

anything in our backyard...

i did get a great new 

poor man's gard[en] find

thanks to a friend 

who was on the lookout for me

{thanks emily!!}

here is miss flourette.

she's french.

i'm going to convert her into

a potting bench for some of our herbs

and plants.

i'm also going to add some succulents to 

the back support of the sofa.

i cannot wait to start working on her. 

just not today, please.

instead i'm going to work on 

 some fun projects for a dear friend's

wedding in a few weeks. 

and i will do this inside the house. thank you.

and i'm going to ship a piece to seattle, washington. 

man, i wish i lived in seattle right now...

and to just remind you of what

autumn weather should normally bring about,

i thought i'd share some fun finds with you...

sewn natural

imagine wearing & playing with these items.

in cool weather. while sipping hot apple

cider or chai tea.

near the fire.

with the rain lightly falling.

and the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg.

i'm getting carried away...

so cheers to a great and not-so-hot tuesday.

at least not as hot as the last 

two days.

if you don't live in southern california

like i do, and you haven't been

paying attention to the news,

los angeles reached an all new 

record of 113 degrees yesterday.

highest temperature ever.

today is only supposed to reach 100. 

how cool & refreshing.
