Gorgeous warm weather this Sunday at Graystone Lane.

I'm loving these heirloom tomatoes and will incorporate these beauties and more veges in our "potager". Until then, we will enjoy our various peppers, basil, chives, and cherry tomatoes soon to be harvested.

aaahhh...

SUMMER BLISS!

It's The Weekend...

 

The weather is GLORIOUS today! It just doesn't seem right to hang out indoors and let the sunshine go to waste. It's my girl's last weekend in J-town before returning to Portland to prepare for grad school. 

So, we are taking advantage of the warm weather and planting a couple of tomato plants, three types of peppers, and a variety of herbs in our whiskey barrels. Keeping our fingers crossed that when she returns for another visit in August that we will be rewarded with the fruits of our labors.

I may also plant some flowers for a bit of color in the garden...

 

Have a wonderful weekend...

Taming that Virginia Creeper...

The garage and loft building needed to have the overgrown Virginia Creeper vine trimmed away from under the eaves and windows.

It was quite a production...

Aaahhh...let the light shine through!

Chris Yoder and crew were professional and friendly.

 

Viola...what a difference!

Now, I think we can maintain it throughout the summer months.

Enjoy the Day!

GARDEN Time...

The weather is GORGEOUS today! 

Despite my swollen eyes, runny nose, and itchy throat 

(annoying allergies...ugggh) 

gardening chores are on my weekend list.

Enjoy the Day!

Atelier ...

an artist's or designer's studio or workroom 

This summer's project is to begin setting up the loft space above the garage at Graystone for my work studio. I'll post pics later of the interior. We need to tame the Virginia Creeper growing up the side of the building and replace the wood trim and install new gutters. I plan to paint the wood staircase leading up to the loft entrance. Lots of love and elbow grease is needed to transform the interior space too 'cause it's pretty rough.

It will be a joy to have a proper space to set up shop displays of merchandise that I will be selling at my Etsy shop. I hope to improve my photographing skills and get my creative juices flowing to better grow my antiques business.

 I had to take a bit of a break from my online shop to focus on family matters, but am excited to get back to work. I am on the hunt for more vintage goodies to list and hope you follow along and check out my happenings and progress. Until my next posting...

Enjoy the Day!
