I got all of the weeds pulled in this small area.
I'm going to attempt to make a Sunflower house.
I will fill in the spaces around it with various flowers.
I also did a little rearranging. A birdbath found a new home under our tree.
And a small birdbath now hangs under a canopy of ivy and jasmine.
The Jasmine just started blooming.
Before I started gardening this weekend, Grace and I went to the library and happened to see a yard sale on the way home.
I couldn't pass up these tea luncheon sets! I got all three for $2.00.
Pretty blue springtime flowers.
Thank you for looking at more pictures of my weekend in the garden. I hope you have a wonderful start to your week!
The luncheon sets are too pretty! How do you manage to stumble across so many wonderful finds? Also, you've been such a busy bee in the garden. May your efforts reward you ten-fold.

Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteLove the gardens pics, just beautiful. I thought of you this morning ~ I made the butterscotch marshmallow bars ~ Unbelievable!! Thanks for the recipe:)
Hugs,
Theresa
love your garden! Hope you enjoy your sunflower house!
ReplyDeleteI planted many kinds of sunflowers in my garden last year....randomly. They were amazing...All different varieties! they were so thick we couldn't walk through them in places! I did it as a screen between the neighbour and our place...they were very pretty and lasted all summer long! some were really tiny but some were 8-12 ft high..maybe taller.
take care
Heather
Can't wait to see how your sunflower house turns out!
ReplyDeleteme and my son have some planting to do today, we got tons of Zenia's from my grandmother the other day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find you found with those dishes and teacups! They are just beautiful! I can't wait until garage sales start up here. Hopefully soon!
ReplyDeleteI love all your garden plans and know the little area where you are planting those flowers is just going to be beautiful! Can't wait to see how it looks when they grow!
Have a beautiful day!
The sunflower house sounds AWESOME!! i can't wait to see it! :)
ReplyDeleteThose luncheon sets are pretty! What a great deal you got on them!! :)
I love your Yard Sale find. How wonderful. And your yard is looking great. A Sunflower space will be awesome I cannot wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteHow positively lovely, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, Imagine my joy when I saw my illustration from my first book Sunflower Houses. Hurrah! You'll enjoy it, but maybe put a sturdy stake at either side of the door, and at the corners. (learned through the years). Keep up your great Mom work and your wonderful blog. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSharon Lovejoy
P.S. I have a different design for a sunflower house in my book Roots Shoots Buckets & Boots!
I can't wait to see pictures of your Sunflower house. Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely!!!! I like your dishes too!!! Good buy! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to get out in the garden too! We had a marvelous time getting some things planted although many still need to wait for the last frost date (2 more weeks approx). I didn't get near enough cleaning done, but had fun with the fam. that's what's important right?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comments on our family photos!
Have a blessed week! I definitely would love a visit to your garden. Especially the sunflowers, my hubby pulls out all the ones the birds "plant."
Wow, you got a lot done! It will be interesting to see the sunflower house grow into fruition. Will it be something for the children to play in?
ReplyDeleteLove the little birdbath.
Hi Kelli

ReplyDeleteJulieann
oh love the flowered dish set. A sunflower house? Intriguing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeling to accomplish things! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lovely tea set. I never seem to find any pretties like that. I must go to sales too late.
ReplyDeleteThe garden is coming along beautifully. Must be such a feeling of accomplishment to have such lovely surroundings.
God bless.
the photos are really nice thanks for putting them up.
ReplyDeleteI always admire your creativity and your ambition...I still call you *Martha*! Things look great in the photos!
ReplyDeleteI hope your sunflower house grows "like crazy" and that your children find it delightful!
ReplyDeleteA friend has given me seed for sunflowers with "heads" as large as hubcaps...hmmmm. Now to find the right spot for these "giants"!
It's always a treat to come here! I love the luncheon plates, they're wonderful. Your garden looks beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteOh love the tea sets!!!!! And you have totally resolved my tree issue, my Husband wanted to just do bricks around a tree out front but the way you have yours with the flowers, birdbath etc, it looks perfect!!!! I cannot wait to try and do mine like that!
ReplyDeleteKelly
Oh my, Kelli!! You accomplished so much!!! I surely can't wait to see how your sunflower house turns out! I saw one on TV before and thought it was so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteHis,
Mrs. U
Oh what a lovely idea, have never heard of this before but what a lovely place that will be to hide out in the heat of summer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your adventures. Your blog space is always full of creative inspiration of all kinds. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, a sunflower house sounds so exciting, good luck!
ReplyDeleteAnd another WOW for that pretty lunchon set! Lovely!
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteYou have been such a busy bee in your garden. It won't be long before you see the fruits of your labor. I love sunflowers! I've tried to grow them a number or years but the little animals here eat them before they have a chance to grow very well. Thankfully, they do leave my other flowers alone.
I love your little teacups and saucers. Great buy!
Blessings,
Gina
Very pretty luncheon set! Your garden will look great with all the flowers you have picked out.
ReplyDeleteWe just bought a birdbath yesterday
not sure where to put it yet.
Oh everything looks so BEAUTIFUL Kelli!
ReplyDeleteI am planning to do a major upheavel in my backyard this year. Tear out all the grass and start anew and plant some shrubs and a small little veggie garden. I am gonna be scouring some yard sales and ebay for a nice patio set that won't rust in the elements.
Thanks so much for the inspiration! God Bless You and Your Family
Mrs. Monise
Kelly,
ReplyDeleteBe sure to post photos when your sunflower house is all grown in.
Gillian (9) and I have discussed a morning glory tee pee. We could plant the seeds in Pots, place them in a circle and grow them into a tee pee shape with the help of some bamboo canes.
Terri
A sunflower house is a wonderful idea for people with young kids. They will love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful transformation! I can't wait to see it in bloom. You really must help me with my sad yard some day. My mind goes blank when I try to think of what to do with it. You on the other hand have the wonderful ability to make everything so cosy! =0)
