Shabby finds, gardening, and a visitor...

Look what I brought home this week....

I have mason jars ALL over my house. But, whoever thought of making one into a soap dispenser just became my new best friend. I found this cutie at our local "Not So Shabby" store.

And this moss covered "M" fits perfectly into my decor as well. Also found at the same store. I know, I know. I could have totally made one myself. But, time for hobbies is decreasing at an increasing rate, so all you DIY crafters can sue me, ok?

And since I'm a below-average gardener....these pics are for my mother--"Mom! Look at the clematis {above} you gave me a few years ago! It's blooming and gorgeous and I love it. And remember that climbing rose {below} that I declared a 'non-blooming dud'?? Well I can't even count the number of buds on it!! Thank you for having faith in my lack-of-a-green-thumb skills".

Oh and as for our visitor this weekend...

Well, this pic pretty much sums it up.

Hope you are having a great Memorial weekend!

We sure are...
