Home is Where You Hang Your Hat

We went to First Monday Trade Days in Canton a few weeks ago. I hadn't been in a few years, Some things had changed, but some were exactly the way I remember them. If you've never heard of it , it's a huge flea market that's been going on since the 1850's. It's over 100 acres. I bought a few little things, some which I'll share later. I found this cool piece of molding and these rusty hooks. 

I needed a little hat rack by our front door. Front door is to the left. The double door goes into the office. The carved piece above the door was from a garage sale headboard piece that I painted. I added the antique milkglass doorknobs and escutcheons when we moved here.

So I just put the hooks on the molding and made my own hatrack.

       

 We've been busy, doing outside projects. I stained our fence. I'm not sure what possessed me to do this, but it took alot longer then I thought it would. I felt like Tom Sawyer, but ended up doing it by myself. We added the birdhouse trio.

 Everything is blooming already. The photinia wall next to our pergola is beautiful covered in lacy white flowers.

 I have been planting our pots and annuals.

 I have sweet potato vine growing with the gerbera daisies. Hope they do well in our hot Texas summer..

 This was Bowie the other day. He's saying"Who me?"

" I haven't torn up any paper napkins, nope it wasn't me."

Just had to share. Hope you have a wonderful week.
