A few years ago my husband built a grape arbor for our garden. Here is a picture of the fruit in the Summer of 2010. The vines are not yet producing enough to make Muscadine wine or jelly but when they do I'll let you know. I purchased the vines from Treesearch Farms in Houston.

Ever wonder what to do with those old windows you find yourself picking up from flea markets or antiques shops? Here is an idea that I got from a shop in Fredericksburg, Texas. Just nail and glue them together to form a mini greenhouse or herbarium. Set in a sunny window or a back porch to add some instant pizzazz to your decor not to mention the close access to herbs etc.

Character is who you are when no one but GOD is watching.

Here is a photo of the backside of the Blue Hill pavillion. They were ready for rain( plastic drop cloths) but, they were not necessary. The exterior areas of the booths usually held outdoor decor. Gardening implements, tables, urns, chairs, tools, iron gates, chicken coops, bird baths and lots more.

This is a photo of the Blue Hill venue. A large pavillion that housed numerous booths, not air conditioned but that was no problem because the weather was beautiful. Loving gardening and gardening decor, I found myself outside the booths looking at the garden decor a lot.

Here is a photo of a table top design that inspired me.
