I’ve spent more time decorating my Potting Shed
than my house this Christmas season :)
Santa came early and gifted me with a ladder to use in my Potting Shed, or rather a Hatherley Lattistep :)
To big to be wrapped and go under the tree, it’s standing in as a tree of sorts, (thank you Clare :) decorated with a few favorite birds, found nests and ornaments~
My Chickadees have moved indoors to roost~
choosing a different cavity to nest in, Williamsburg Aviary.
A Ferry’s Seeds Box
is a perennial favorite~
Dressed for the holidays and planted with a Poinsettia,
mini cypress trees, ivy, pine cones, berries and a bird’s nest.
Vintage postcards are weighing in
on Christmas with Joyful Greetings~
Wishing you a Joyful Christmas!
Your new ladder looks right at home Mary! Looks like you’re having lots of fun with the shed-enjoy:@)
PS-Please send me a quick e-mail with your address, I have a little something I think you might like…
Love the new *Christmas Tree*! :D :D And, with vintage postcards. You have such fun in your potting shed. Remember, I’m going to move in! LOL! Merry, Merry and Hugs—

Mary, this is over the top cute. Love your ladder and I sure hope we get my shed built in 2013. I want to play.
THis is so wnderful, each element a delightful surprise, especially the “tree”!!!! LOVE the birds and the candles in the birdseed trays. Genius to use the flower frog to hold the sign. XO, Pinky
What a fun place you’ve made this potting shed! Love the new ladder and how you decorated it. Every bit of this is inspiring and enjoyable to see!
Oh Mary, your potting shed is sweet! I love the natural decorations and the birdseed under the candles. Everything looks lovely.
I’d be spending as much time in there as possible – it’s such a pretty shed. The ladder was a brilliant gift!
I think I would move into the potting shed for Christmas! So beautiful! Love the ladder!

Beautiful!!!!
Beyond my wildest dreams of FUN!
So adorable!
Mary, What an amazing potting shed! You have it decorated beautifully for Christmas and I love the ladder. Happy Holidays.
Hi Mary! If I didn’t know better, I would swear that your shed has been in existence as long as it’s vintage treasures. You have really created a beautiful paradise for birds and people alike. I have been on a quest to find bird ornaments this year, and all I can find are super bright and sparkly ones. I am holding out for some more natural looking ones.
Happy Holidays, and thank you for a year of beautiful tables and spaces!
Mary, its just like having a playhouse. ;-) I adore what you’ve done to dress the shed for the holidays. Such fun!!! I have a vintage ladder on which I hang some of my vintage quilts. Those old ladders have wonderful charm.
Merry, Merry………..Sarah
Mary, your potting shed is just the most adorable thing ever! I could live in the potting shed! Lol! The ladder is perfect; and all of your holiday accents just make this such a wonderful place!
Your ladder is wonderful! I am “green” with envy over your potting shed. What a lovely place to decorate and you have done it beautifully! Merry Christmas.
I suspect that your potting shed will be the backdrop for many a creative exercise. I look forward to them all!
I have had some unusual stand-ins for Christmas trees, but your ladder tree beats them all! Love it!
Your potting shed is the best playhouse I have ever seen! You are so creative!
:D I’m *gasping* over here with every picture I see. I love what Sonia said…..about your shed being a playhouse…..I’d play in there all day long if it were mine!
Thanks so much for sharing your potting shed all decked-out for Christmas. I’ve been waiting for this post! ;P

Congratulations on your new lattistep ladder! That’s a really neat addition to your already gorgeous “me time” space! :-)

Oh My gosh, this is fabulous! Love every inch of this sweet potting shed! It left me wanting to see more pics of the outside. I can’t blame you for having so much fun with this buildning. Hubby and I (more like I) lol! have plans to build one either this Spring or next. Now, I will want to decorate it for Christmas. Love all of your vintage treasures.
