comes with a story

have no idea what that story is....but it's there. lurking. breathing life into old objects. fueling the imagination...but either way this beautiful old toolbox has a story or two...and now i will add to it's storybook by giving it a new one....this is will become a planter box....love it!

061 

my mom took down a fence at one of the apartment buildings she manages...not sure how long those have been standing...how many people they have seen come and go...but they are getting new life in our garden....some of them were turned into a gardener's bench for me, some of them became the boxes to raise my veggie beds, and some of them have become planked sidewalks that go around my garden boxes. they have so many more tales to tell!!

004

(excuse the grubby gardener, lol....jay likes to take horrible pics of me on really bad angles:) )but you can see one of the boxes, the gardener's bench and the start of the planked sidewalk...sort of, lol! there are 2 more boxes on the other side.

and story three...beautiful, weathered, old driftwood collected from one of the local lakes....we used it last year to build the fence you see....this year we added and build an archway over the entrance of the garden...no pic of that one finished yet...but's it's pretty :)and now my garden is all cleaned up with no miscellaneous boards and tools hanging around like in the pic above!!

moving on to more creative goodness....of the scrapping kind :)
