The tomato plant which my sister brought back at the end of June is producing fruit. My Mom used to order seeds in February, start plants inside in April and put plants in the garden late May and got results in July to September. That takes patience.
I did keep it watered and with good sun from the east for long enough each day I got tomatoes. There are still some to come. Better results than the place downtown.
The marigolds are doing well too!
Very happy!
Phoebe has opened a vintage dress shop filled with wonderful dresses, coats, handbags, and much more.
She gets a call from Mrs. Therese Bell a french woman who is interested in selling some of her vintage clothes. They meet at the elderly lady's home and spend time going through the treasures. There is a blue coat though that is off limits and not for sale.
Emma is Phoebe's best friend who has recently passed away under very difficult circumstances.
There are 4 men - A remarried father, Guy the ex, Miles the older man with a spoilt 16 year old daughter and Dan the color blind newspaper reporter.
The story has WWII backstory which I loved. It all turns out well but not with a few curves. Wonderful story!
With the help of my aunt's husband the shelf I prepared was installed this week.
It helped to get stuff off the floor and put away instead of in the way.
It is all light stuff up there - coolers, plastic bags, the canner, and some paint boxes.
The brackets are from IKEA - Krokshult which I really love. The shelf is smooth knotty pine from HomeDepot. I did have to put about a foot off the end. I sanded it by hand and was really happy with the final result.
There are over 100 pieces of art in this and on the walls of the Spruce Grove Art Gallery.
Wonderful evening - seeing fellow artists, good food, and good conversations.
The best part was having the awards in the Black Box Theatre where everyone could see the winning art, the artists receiving their prizes and all seated and comfortable. What a great idea! The theatre holds 175 and it was very nearly full. Great support for art and creators.
I did not have art in any shows this year due to renovation at the old place due to flood, listing and selling my place down town, buying a new place in the west, renovation the new place before I could move in, packing and moving, and then unpacking into a smaller place.
I found a cobalt blue plant pot at ReUse this week. What an amazing find. No damage as far as chips or cracks.
I brought the last of the moving boxes to the ReUse center this week! Yeah. It felt really good.
The inside and outside have evidence of the surface being affected by sitting in some kind of liquid. That is near the bottom.
I purchased a new to me shower curtain this week because the lace one has yet to show up from packing boxes despite there is very little left. There are several missing pieces still.
Not sure which plant will be placed in it but what a great addition to the living room.
I found a small cobalt blue votive holder which will be added to the couple I already own. They will look great with candles inside.
I am sure they will show up but I was tired of seeing the bathroom looking unfinished so I bought one I could live with long term so the other one not appear. I have been living with just the liner for months.
Beautiful green foliage at the bottom with embroidered butterflies stitching on going up the curtain. Very transparent so does not darken the showering space at all.
Five dollars well spent.
