  3. Hi Kathee, I love your newly done space. Looks great for summer. We would love it if you would link up to our Hot Fun in the Summertime link party to show off your beautiful summer vignette.
    Still loving my Jeanne d'Arc Living. Just picked up two more at Agoura this week. Stay cool and have a great weekend.

  5. what a beautiful post! im drooling just a little bit. i have one of those chicken feeders-want so much to use it as a dish rack, but I just don't have room. Trying to devise a way to turn it into lighting for my kitchen. I know it could be a planter, but I want to keep it as nice as possible until I give up on using it indoors. Thanks for linking to our party!

  6. Hi gal,
    So sorry I didn't have time to check out that chandy before it went in the store. Now I'll never get to see what a great find it was.

  11. I can't wait to check out your booth. Steve is in the Art Walk tomorrow and will be showing at the Visitor's Bureau. I don't want to sit the whole time with him so I think I will mosey on over to AHG. I have some money burning a hole in my pocket.
