and because I was sure they were going to say the dreaded "No we're keeping them." when I enquired if they wanted to sell them. Inside I was doing a giant high five, happy dance while chanting "keep it together...keep it together". On the outside I heard myself casually say, "Yes I'd be interested in them."
Oh I just love swan pots. LOVE. These ones are big and old. At least half a century.
But they're not going to the Garden Centre like these amazing pair of lions statues below that came from the same old home, they are just going to go to my Garden.
Perfect for this Jubilee year don't you think?
Gillian thought they would look great at the cafe entrance till they sell and she was right.
We got MacGyver Paul, to cut off a bit of arm rail so they would fit nicely.
Nothing like making a good entrance.
nice find Katherine! glad that you are keeping some of your amazing finds for you to enjoy! Kate x
ReplyDeleteYay for you! It must be so difficult passing all of your goodies on to the shop. Speaking of, those statues make a fab entrance!
ReplyDeleteHehehe...glad your heart starting beating again K, they are indeed fabulous swan planters, glad you are keeping them...I wouldn't be able to get to the Garden Centre fast enough if you were putting them there, lol. I do indeed also love those lion statues...but they look great just were they are..still might need a visit. Kiss Noises Linda

I'm new to developing internet sites and I was wondering if having your website title relevant to your content really that crucial? I notice your title, "Blogger: the old boathouse " does seem to be spot on with what your website is about but yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
