Cottage Time is my Favorite Time

Some new additions to my cottage.  I found these little "Z"s that were used on old signs.  I made the little "H" hanging and the tiny clip hangers I got from a little antique shop.  I think they will look so cute with some black and white pictures hanging from them.  And the tin 10 is because I think the Cottage is a 10!

This is a new light, I found the shade frame at one of my favorite little antique shops, got a pendant light kit and sewed a cord cover out of left over burlap I had.  Now it is easy to lay in the bed and read.

I love my little Cottage!

Fighting the HOT dry spells



Even with the Texas native plants that are drought tolerant it becomes a battle to keep plants alive much less pretty.  A lot of rock beds help, but what I don't get is no matter how hot and dry it gets the WEEDS never have a problem growing!  I do enjoy a little landscaping, so here is a little bit of what I have been able to bring an image from in my head to reality.  I just need a staff to help with the rest!!!
