The Garden Path

This is right behind our house...... we have four acres of woods, and this path meanders throughout...... this shed is old and will come down -- not the quaint kind of old, the "how is it still standing-made out of pieces/parts" kind of old....... It is so peaceful to walk back into these woods ~ kind of like being transported into your own little private world. We've lived here four years, and every time I walk down this path, I still cannot believe it's ours!

I picked up this vintage piece of garden decor, below, at a little shoppe ~ I don't know exactly how it was used, but I just liked it. It's kind of old and rusty.... but I think I'll keep it inside; it's a nice and unusual piece of art.

There is a story about this chair.....

The auction we went to a week or two ago, had a lot of family members that were bidding -- I tried to be very respectful of that, as I think it's so sad when that happens. I would much rather they have the items that have sweet memories attached to them.....

Anyway, this old broken chair was in a lot of three that sold for around $3. The young man who bought it picked up one of the other chairs ~ that was in much better condition ~ and told his friend "this is the one I wanted, that Grandpa always sat in." I could tell this old broken one was probably destined for the trash, so I asked if he might sell it to me. He very generously and happily gave it to me, and I told him that it would find a good home in our gardens. He just seemed happy to have his Grandpa's chair to take home with him, and then to know someone wanted this broken one that he had no use for!
I think it looks nice holding this pot of flowers......
