A beautiful Day ~


Happy Saturday everyone ~!
It's going to be a beautiful day ~ lots of sunshine and warm termperatures.  I am sooo happy ;-)

There are lots of things to do today.  Potting my plants for the deck and front porch.  Putting annuals in my garden.  Playing with the chickens ~ they are almost ready for their coop.


I will share with you a couple of thrifting finds that I picked up this week ~

This pretty platter that I picked up for $1.00.  I love the scalloped edges

This little wagon Mr. Vintage picked up for me ~ I'm going to put flowers in it ~

Mr. Vintage picked up a little vintage toy pedal tractor.  Here is the before (we had a helper modeling it ~ isn't she cute?)


Pretty rusty ~ and then Mr. Vintage worked his magic ~

It's a beauty........After we're done planting and puttering, I think Mr. Vintage and I may go for a ride for an ice cream in the green machine

After all, he did wash it ;-)

What are your plans for today, big or small, I'd love to hear what you are up to

Have a wonderful Saturday

(((Hugs)))

  3. You are so lucky - it is absolutely pouring with rain here - we have high winds too! The weather has been awful in Scotland for the last few weeks! Not going out today.

  6. How stinkin' cute it that tractor and that wagon will look so cute with some flowers! I have a radio flyer wagon that was used to take my brother and I to the park daily during the summer and since he has passed, I now use it as a mini garden dedicated in his memory, named "The Jonny Garden"....I plan on doing some weeding with the help of three little ones =) Happy weekend dear Marianne! Xoxoxo
