this is not what window baskets are for!

Honest – I’m certain that this is not what window baskets are for! I think these cats took advantage of the situation don’t you?






Personalized housewarming gifts

by

Have you ever visited the online store Roland’s Housewarming Gifts?

The company originally began as a source of house closing gifts for real estate agents and it’s grown over time as a source of gifts for the public.

I think this site is the perfect place to find housewarming gifts. You know when someones just moved into their first home? You want to give them something that will help them make their new home their own. This often takes the form of some kind of personalized gift. Well, you can find all kinds of gift items to personalize at Roland’s housewarming Gifts.

For example they have some lovely personalized doormats to chose from, as well as address plaques that can be personalized, custom door mats, address signs, ceramic address plaques, beautiful crafted crocks which can also be personalized, house address signs, birdhouses, cookie jars, planters, mailboxes and other unique personalized gifts.

This is yet another site that I’m going to bookmark for future use. Check it out.

The sun’s guarding my garden

Do you decorate your garden?

I have a few ceramic and metal pieces scattered throughout the garden beds, on the fence or in this case on the wall of my enclosed back porch. I think my garden decor is tasteful and there’s only a few items scattered throughout the garden so it’s certainly not overwhelming. If anything is overwhelming in my garden it’s the roses.

My sun ornament is beside my green pole beans which really do grow on poles – bamboo poles that is. You can even see some green bean dangling beside the sun if you look closely. Perhaps my sun ornament is helping the beans grow?

I have cucumbers beside the beans and we finally got to pick a cucumber on Saturday. It was hiding behind several leaves and we surprisingly didn’t see it for a while. It’s close to two feet long and is at least 2.5 inches in diameter! It’s huge! Perhaps we’ll make some cucumber sandwiches later today. Mmmmm.
