There are so many things I simply cannot read these days, and I have to go scrounge up a pair of glasses :) I like photos of your garden and all its intricacy and the obvious love and care you and your hubby put into it, and are still putting into it. It's a labor of love :)M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-11477608394147512352015-05-26T09:11:01.400-04:002015-05-26T09:11:01.400-04:00Hope all is well with you.Hope all is well with you.Sallysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397788379626486071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-7159721258231206732015-05-25T20:50:57.717-04:002015-05-25T20:50:57.717-04:00Hello Lorraine,

Your transformation of the chairs was inspiring!<br /><br />I'd like to send you a special thanks for your wonderful comments throughout our road trip to the Northwest. I looked forward to reading them each day to my mother.<br /><br />Here is hoping for a 'cool' summer for you in Florida and me in Arizona!<br /><br />Best,<br />NoelleNoelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-83638707009524076072015-05-24T21:01:32.691-04:002015-05-24T21:01:32.691-04:00Painting the cushions is a great idea.

After reading what you said, I had to check out your blog and say how much you impressed me:) It was about a young man turning 30 and his mother's desire to talk him into cutting his long hair. I am going to be celebrating my seventieth birthday this year and although most women my age have short hair . . . it is just not me. When my hair is short I feel like an imposter. Well, enough about that.<br />I love your beautiful garden, it is so lush and green and painting the fabric on your chairs; that is genius and what a lovely difference it made. <br />Well, I am happy to meet you and hope that you will come visit my blog. I love making new friends and sharing ideas.<br />Your newest follower,<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-33634203648912529052015-05-20T09:05:56.430-04:002015-05-20T09:05:56.430-04:00Your beautiful yard looks like a little slice of p...Your beautiful yard looks like a little slice of paradise!

I don't always stop by but I do often think of you and remember the love you have for your husband. I had never thought to paint my old faded cushions so thanks for that tip. And I really enjoyed seeing the view of your yard so that I can better place you among the flora in my mind's eye. May blessings and love continue to bathe your soul...xo SusanSusan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-74235324637198416202015-05-20T06:01:06.892-04:002015-05-20T06:01:06.892-04:00Nice to walk through your garden with you.Nice to walk through your garden with you.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962677559692141098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-58815188282191636082015-05-18T21:13:20.018-04:002015-05-18T21:13:20.018-04:00I always enjoy touring the gardens at Plum Cottage...I always enjoy touring the gardens at Plum Cottage, I love the amazing work you did on the cushions.

I kept making new covers for mine over the years but after having that old redwood set from the seventies. I had to replace them this spring with a couple of new chairs. I wanted a wicker set but... :) Don't you love the instruction papers now. They come in so many languages but I still cannot understand the English ones. LOL! I love that Hibiscus!

Your cushions came out lovely and aren't you so creative? The 'One Day at a Time' piece is wonderful.

I've taken to scrubbing it down after winter and throwing a big blanket over the yucky upholstery. Works pretty well and I call it 'outdoor shabby chic' !Never thought of painting the upholstery, thanks !<br /><br />The flowers are as always gorgeous and it always warms my heart to see how much love you pour into your cottage gardens and know your hard work truly is a labor of love.<br /><br /> I read the article and bookmarked it for future reading again. Love it and the perspective it gives.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-51101138314385862942015-05-13T12:07:57.173-04:002015-05-13T12:07:57.173-04:00me again....that was a great article link :) me again....that was a great article link :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-26558110271475537952015-05-13T12:04:36.221-04:002015-05-13T12:04:36.221-04:00That little mower looks wonderful.
