You may well have seen this MacKenzie-Childs cup and saucer on
this blog before. I found this set at antique shop back in Idaho quite
a few years ago. It sat on a wicker table on my front porch back there,
and on the veranda here in Texas.
Several days ago, I had a brainstorm about turning this lone cup and
saucer into a bird feeder for the garden surrounding the potting shed.
I remembered that I had a walking stick that had lost it's top and
realized it would be perfect to be the stand for the feeder. All I
did was to paint the stick and use industrial strength glue to hold
the cup and saucer in place. Now it looks just perfect in it's new home.
On Saturday, I purchased 40 more pounds of bird seed, so my little
tweeties will be content for a while.
I finished painting a vintage chalk board for the shed, and five little bird houses
too. These bird houses will be used for a chandelier project currently in the
making.
No outdoor projects for a while. We have received the first bands of rain from
Invest 91L. That is meteorologist talk for a very big weather system sitting in
the Gulf of Mexico just starting to come on shore. The rain so far has not been
too heavy, but is expected to get much heavier and bring thunderstorms along
with it. It never organized enough to be a hurricane or a tropical storm, but
different forecasts have predicted either 3 to 5 inches, or 5 to 8 inches of rain.
Hopefully there will be no serious flooding with this system, but quite
frankly, we really need the rain, so I am not complaining. The next few days
will be inside projects of all kinds, and I won't have to worry about watering
the plants twice a day. It's a housebound vacay!
Bentley and I are staying dry and snug indoors and wishing y'all a
happy Monday!
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
