The windows of my church studio, A Bit of Heaven, are beautifully framed by hollyhocks in colors of pink. I have not spent any time in their this summer, but soon, I hope.
The cottage garden is home to a purple bench,
multicolored pots filled with moss roses, a weathered angel, and a vintage spade.
A sweet rusted red tricycle also has a spot in my cottage garden.
Tucked behind my green potting shed is a secret place to sit. Look carefully and you will see a vintage iron headboard beside the deck, and a vintage iron railing hanging on the wall.
In this same spot, a vintage wooden ladder rests against a tree.
Blessings, Ele
