Here's a few last minute Father's Day gift ideas for dear old Dad!




Every Dad needs a tool box!




For the master of the grill!




Mad Men barware...because even your Dad wants to be 
as cool as Don Draper.




A tool for his tool box (above).




A wood box to organize his desk.




An old breadbox makes attractive storage for his files or junk!




Patriotic glassware to honor his service to his country!

Rained Out = BIG SALE!

We were supposed to have a booth at the Tri-State Antique Market today but got rained out. Sucks! Sucks! Sucks! First one of the season too! When we arrived at 5.30 am it was pouring rain and our booth was flooded with 3" of water with no signs of letting up! We turned around and went home. But we had all this great stuff...





 So, we decided to run a sale in our 
Lavender Garden Cottage Market Ebay store

10% off all items in our store sale! 
One week only! May 2 - 9!

Let's call this garage sale a Mothers Day Sale in honor of all Mothers and everyone who has a Mom!




And the only person who gets soaking wet at this sale is the mailman!

We Have Teeny, Tiny Lemons!



 We have teeny, tiny lemons on our tree! All that fertilizing, potting & repotting, moving in and out doors and general hovering around the tree has finally paid off with teeny, tiny green lemons! 





I can almost taste the (teeny, tiny) lemon tart I’m going to make with these!

Todays Flower of the Day

Todays flower of the day is the parrot tulip!

Good Bye Winter...Hello Space Bags!

Living in a 120 year old house has its challenges. One of them is no closet space. We have 2 and a partial over the washer and dryer. Those two are small with very little hanging space in one and no shelves in the other. But both have a secret hidey hole above the closet for storing things like seasonal clothes. But this space is small and has doors, so everyting has to fit behind the doors. It is challenging, to say the least!

Then you walked into my life, Space Bags! Now my winter clothes are safely tucked away until next fall. No spiders, no dust, no struggling to get my Rubber Maid tubs up the ladder and into the cubby! I am in love with Space Bags!



Good bye winter wool sweaters! So long bulky snow boots! Bye-bye down jacket! Sayanora cashmere scarf and gloves! See you all next fall!


Things We Love....

Things we love...these seashell shaped vintage restaurant ware bowls! Perfect for summer serving condiments this summer at your backyard barbecue!

Indoor Kitties Gone Wild!

Well, not really.... These mostly indoor kitties were too scared to roam off the bench on the back porch.



They have forgotten how great fresh mown grass feels under their toosties. To chase birdies out by the feeders. To poop in my vegie garden. The bliss won't last long!

Flower of the Day!

Todays Flower of the Day is:

Black Eyed Susans
