Gardenalia

We rushed through a Farmer's Market on the way to lunch and I noticed some  old  rusty tools and gardening stuff . I picked up this 1950's mower for $10 and I LOVE, LOVE it ...the colour is a gorgeous blue







The elderly farmer selling it thought I was a bit weird I think !


I also picked up a vintage yardstick with advertising on it...I love old rulers!








 The lovely Emma Kate asked me to post some pics of my bedroom which is really hard to take a complete shot, so this collage is from all angles ..just for you Em!


In the garden this week 

I planted out some dwarf  sweet pea seedlings on St  Patrick's Day which traditionally supposed to be the best day to plant them and  climbing seeds along the chicken coop, and some Johnny Jump Ups


Still waiting for the apples to ripen...all the other fruits are finished


Pumpkins are taking over!



We had our first large egg this week

  2. You have a gorgeous garden. The mower would look fab just casually left in the border surrounded by wonderful cottagey plants.

  5. Love that mower. I've got a more recent model that I still use---I have a tiny yard so it only takes a couple sweeps and its done :)

  17. I actually used a reel mower for two years ( Purchased it new though ) but last year I reverted to a gas powered one..we had so much precipitation last summer that I needed the power!

    Love that old blue one
