Things I Heart Thursday – Garden Fancies
Written by Paige of Approaching Joy

MD mentioned recently, there is something very satisfying about the “starting over” process that asks us both literally and metaphorically dig a little deeper than we may do otherwise.
With a move coming up in my near future, I can’t help but daydream about the opportunity to “start fresh” in and out of the garden.

#1 These are whimsical, cute, and utterly amazing gnomes.  But they are perfect for infusing a big chunk of personality into one’s garden. (Especially, if garden=potted flowers as it does for me.)

#2 I like the color green as much as the next girl but who could resist this baby blue water hose? Not me.

#3 I am a tiny bit obsessed by all things yellow lately (as shown by the addition of three new pair of yellow shoes in my closet within the last year.) Much more practical: these mustard cafe chairs which practically beg to be put out on a porch to enjoy a glorious southern sunset after putting in all the work in your potted plants/ backyard/ back 40.  Best of all- they’re faux wicker I.e. durable to the max.

#4 Okay okay. I’ve already admitted that my kind of gardening takes place in pots on the patio BUT if I were to foray into the real thing these boots would be on my “must have” list.

#5 And these lovelies call to mind the über romantic dance scene in Hope Floats. Thanks to the cool kids over at Target we can all pretend we are Sandra Bullock even if in reality we are just relaxing on our own patio listening to Harry Conick Jr’s sweet voice on the stereo and enjoying homemade ice cream with our girlfriends.
