FUN DAY AT EARLENE'S...

I had the best time yesterday....well....I should say my mom and I had the best time.  We went to my friend Earlene's (Primitive Passion Decorating).  I couldn't wait for mom to see her gardens and her home.  I've been there before last winter, but have never seen her gardens except in a magazine and on her blog.  Oh my gosh!!!  They did not disappoint...they were beautiful!! My mom kept saying that she has never seen such a beautiful home (she love antiques too) and gardens.   Earlene has such an exquisite way of displaying and arranging items...and such a wonderful collection of prims!  I took a lot of pictures...so I'll let them speak for themselves....


This is the entrance to her porch...beautiful black-eyed Susans...


Gorgeous and lush gardens everywhere you look, with a smattering of primitive accents...


Love this "faux out-house"....I love the bench and buckets that embrace the area...  



Look at  these birdhouses and gourds she has on the side of her house....why couldn't I ever think of that...a shelf on the outside of the house....wonderful!!



More prim birdhouses on this old apple or cherry picker ladder.   I think the watering can on a Shepard's hook is so adorable.


How about this?   Wouldn't you just love to wake up this ever morning?  I love cornfields...this one borders the back of her yard.  I love that clothesline too...she planted zinnias around the posts.


Last but not least is "Spunky"...Earlene's sweet little tuxedo cat!  I think he enjoyed the garden tour as much as we did!  In a few days, I'll post some pictures of  the inside of Earlene's home...you think the outside is amazing.....just wait!!

    Hi Bobby-
    Earlene said you were still interested in the green lollipop shelf? I still have it. My email is: nwilkers2002@yahoo.com.

    I have always loved looking at Earlene's garden photos. I dream of having pretties like hers...but sadly we have very little sun.
    Thanks for sharing!!
