We love gardening with antiques! There are so many innovative and fun ways to bring the fabulous worlds of gardening and antiques together.
I've always wanted a beautiful garden. In my vision I'm about ten or fifteen years older, maybe some gray hair streaks here and there, and I'm in my garden pruning, potting, digging, and watering. While I love traveling and seeing new places, I'm much more of a homebody. So if we're not road-trippin

My favorite of my boards on Pinterest is my “Great Garden Paths” board. I have a weakness for garden paths. There is something so incredibly inviting about a path through a garden. It says, “Explore me,” or “Feel free to look AND touch, I’m cool with it.” My favorite garden paths bend around corners, begging […]

I am a... Tree Hugging, Flower Smelling, Animal Kissing, Planet Loving Dirt Worshiper and proud of it. Wood Sign Perfect gift for that person...you know one, or it might be You :) This sign measures 9.25 x 17.5 inches tall and has a notch in the back for hanging. The base has been done in my multi process distressing with Teal and Cream being the base colors....Lettering has been done in Bark Brown, leave flourish in leave green & teal. This has been finished with my hand rubbed Paste Wax finish. My signs are now branded on the back & dated. Would you like the sign a different color? Message me or add “Note To Seller” for color change at no additional charge! ORDERS ONLY: Once your full payment has been received, your sign will go into production. If you have any special requests or customization requested, please add your requests to the comment section on your order!! Turn around time is 7 days, but I am usually able to ship within 3-4 days of your paid order. I ship USPS and will provide tracking information when your sign ships. If you need it sooner, we can work that out, just message me. Each sign is made for you, so each sign is unique, no two are identical. All of my base painting & lettering is hand painted. Brush strokes may or may not be seen. All of my signs are Rustic & Primitive in Style. Due to the nature of the wood there will be variances in knots, color and cracks. These natural flaws in the wood are what make each piece unique with a character of its own. The size posted will vary from sign to sign slightly due to the nature of working with wood and sanding. ALL of my signs are made using NEW Clean Top Grade Knotty White Pine that was cut right here in the USA. All wood is ¾ night thick. My Pallet Signs are all made by me, using fresh clean pine, never dirty used wood. Wood screws & glue hold my pallets together. Each sign is hand sanded, painted and distressed by me, using many coats of paint to achieve that worn old look. My painting, aging technique & lettering is all Hand done. Small imperfections are part of the hand stenciling process, so you may see a slight imperfection on my signs here & there. There is a notch on the back for easy hanging. Made right here in the USA, in the Foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains. Do you have some “Words” you’d like on wood? Message me, I can design anything you’d like and put it on wood. Most of my Signs can be ordered in a larger size and different color. Please send me a message with color request & size preference for a quote. Thanks so much for stopping by….

It's a new season, our 26th, the calls are coming in for new landscape designs and those seeking to freshen their existing landscapes. Over the years our skills have been honed and our procedures with a new client fine tuned. For me it all goes back to two elements; the details and listening skills. We would love to be your landscape firm but that is not always feasible, be it distance, costs or a multitude of reasons.......this post is intended to bring our approach to you I begin the design process with many questions via a six page survey. Seeing my position as an interpreter, pulling out what my clients like, dislike, hopes and dreams. Bridging those desires with good horticultural practices makes for a successful design What is your architectural style? Favorite colors? What plants do you like? These are all good questions to ask yourself No. 1 What is your homes architectural style? Does your home have a distinct architectural style? Examples include Tudor, Cape, Revival, Traditional, Georgian........ If not, would you like to steer your home into a particular direction? Why is this important? A home and it's gardens should exist as one cohesive unit. We can learn from the history of particular styles and their original sense of place. Examples; Georgian homes have straight lines and more formal tendencies, they are symmetrical. All ornamentation should follow in that vernacular. The same for plants. Great materials include boxwood, ivy and topiaries Google 'Georgian Gardens' for further clues A Cape Cod styled home is just the opposite; exuberant, informal, asymmetrical. Plants include shrub roses, ornamental grasses, hydrangea....... Belgian; simplicity, muted color ways Contemporary Traditional No. 2 Look out strategic windows. How can those views be framed? No. 3 Do you favor symmetrical or asymmetrical? No. 4 Formal or informal? Or a mix of both? No. 5 What are your favored color schemes? Least favorite? No. 6 List your favorite plants -are they specific to your zone? -are they properly sited? ex: sun, shade, partial No. 7 Are you willing to mix foliage colors or do you prefer all green gardens? Other questions to ask yourself -are there any views to conceal? -borrow and enhance? -any issues; drainage, sinking, needed renovations ... What extras are you interested in? fireplace...seating area... containers...lighting...fountain.... When we have amassed all of the above information, and much more, we present a 3D pen and ink rendering. This format versus a blueprint beautifully conveys a landscape, a garden, at maturity. Funny story......I was in England telling my friend Angela how we transformed our yard and how much I loved it. As horror slowly spread across her face she stopped me and asked why would you have a YARD at home? Sensing a translation blunder, I inquired further...... In Britain, a YARD = DUMP. Ever since I refer to my GARDEN In summary, hone in on the details, ask yourself these questions and source inspiration images. A portrait of your loves will begin to emerge. In need of inspiration? My pinterest pages are chalk full.....take a look Gardens and it's Elements Living well outdoors The Garden Floor Ornamental Grasses Container Gardens And many many more, follow me HERE..... OR.....drop me a line, we would be honored to assist, local or long distance [email protected] Fondly, Debra

I painted this lush garden scene on brown paper, including as many old fashioned cottage garden flowers as I could. I have hand lettered this quote: "If I had a flower for every time I thought of you I could walk through my garden forever." The quote is from Alfred Tennyson. This is an edition of 50. I inscribe each print with the title "If I had a Flower", the edition number, and my signature in pencil. If you'd like the print personalized to someone special, please ask in the comment area.
