Just a quick POST today! We are venturing out on the estate sale circuit (my favorite thing to do on Saturday) and I'm already running behind. Imagine that...me being late for something!? I'm afraid my hubbs has grown use to me being tardy for EVERYTHING!
When I woke up this morning I found this beautiful Bicycle Planter in my breakfast room. The back basket held a special arrangement of beautiful flowers and on the seat were two cards (one serious and one funny) and my favorite cheap candy, a Russel Stover's Strawberry Cream Heart.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love roses and dinner out, Godiva Chocolates, diamonds, etc. Roses will forever and always be my favorite flower (not red, but soft pink) and who can resist and bit of BLING or a decadent treat now and then? It's just that for ME I've longed for something different. I mean, the roses I see growing in my garden are truly my favorite (can't wait for them to bloom) and of course anything that comes "special delivery" (and on no particular day and for no particular reason) takes my breath away~ After many happy years of marriage I still love it that my hubbs comes up with his own definition of ROMANCE!
Take this charming Planter for example. I saw it about a month ago at Tuesday Morning and I sooooo wanted it for one of my front flower beds. But, even their "off-price" price tag was too high for me and so I passed it by without saying a word. My AGPM (A Gathering Place Man) must have noticed me eyeing it because he commented on it's unique style and form. I only smiled as I ran my fingers over the handlebar and walked away. He listened and watched...has grown accustomed to the look of wanting on my face and read it like a favorite book.

Seriously, when me & honey went to my antique store yesterday, there was a bicycle like this in there. He fell in love with it. It may be our next purchase. This is so funny. He says, "nice enough to keep in or out".
GO MEN!!
I am in awe of your talent and LOVE your ebay offerings, I always love to see what you come up with and have had you as a favorite for a long while now. Unfortunately cannot buy everything I LOVE that you transform because my home would be filled! You are an inspiration to me. I am blessed with a loving kind and giving husband as well, who helps me with my "transformations" for my antique booth. (He is my special valentine and I hope that he knows in his heart of hearts that I cannot live without him.) Looking forward to more of your offerings soon.
Rebecca,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt thoughts towards the devastation suffered by so many Aussies. Your own country is hurting at the the moment with the tornados and that awful plane crash in NY, so tragic!
You have a beautiful blog, simply gorgeous.
Stay safe
