My Potting Bench

My hubby built me this potting bench this summer, for my "secret" garden. I found the little sink at a garage sales (for 50 cents) and he used wood from the 1940's garage that we tore down when we put in the new shop last summer. I decoupaged, using flowers and garden sayings cut from magazines....and voila!

Hubby thinks it's a primitive looking piece and he doesn't quite understand my fascination with it. Not only do I love the whole "yard art" aspect of it, I like the continuity of the wood. I like knowing that once it was a building on our land, and now it's recycled wood.

It sure isn't that I'll be using it a lot! I'm not a 'stand-still' sort of girl. It's like the kneeling pads one buys for the garden...I always have one, always think I'll use one, like the idea of saving my knees (or jeans)....but after 10 minutes of weeding I can look behind me and that pad is left behind! Slows me down too much to have to drag that along! Same thing happens when I'm potting plants - I just drop to the dirt where ever I want it. Oh well, it's beautiful to look at!!

Jackie -- this is gorgeous. I like the re-used idea, too -- plus, it lends character.

That table rocks! What's the saying, recycle, re-use, abuse or something? As one having seen the masterpiece in person I can attest to it's rustic charm. Well done you two! Cheers, Tom

Very creative, I am with you on the little padded things though, I buy them, I try and use them, and before 10 minutes, I am knee deep in dirt. Same with gloves, I buy them and in 10 minutes my fingers are right through the ends of them. I just don't know what I do, but I move a lot of rocks, and the gloves aren't made for my kind of gardening.

Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you
using for this website? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Here is my web page: レイバンサングラス

Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own
blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm
looking for something unique. P.S Apologies
for being off-topic but I had to ask!
