I’m out of room so I’m hanging
from the rafters in my
Potting Shed!
This would be handy in my house
since I’m out of room there too :)
Watering cans. . . a pitch fork. . .
Baskets. . . a tray. . .
A bucket suspended from
an old window frame~
A dairy scale weighing in
on a transferware plate~
Along with a couple of
other dishes sprinkled in~
A Hotkap~
And a few bundles of fragrant
lavender and buds in a mason jar~
Hope you’re hanging in there and
surviving the heat or rain
this summer :)
You have such a delightful collection of interesting things, Mary…I agree, hanging them from the rafters adds LOTS of storage space. Plus, they look great on display instead of tucked away into a cupboard!
I’ve never seen a “HotKap” before….how ingenious!
LOVE that cute old bucket and I’ve never seen a hot kap before-so cool! Have a great weekend Mary and, um… Make sure those garden tools are secured well:@)
Ingenious-as always! Wish they still sold hot caps!
They do still sell them, but in quantities of 20! You can find them here :)
Soo cute!
I would love to have this sweet little area surrounded by beautiful things everywhere. I think I would have my morning coffee there!
“I feel your gain.” Some of those items look very familiar!! :) franki

Mary, hanging from the rafters is both a clever and charming solution for storing and enjoying your growing collection of garden related treasures. That “hotkap” is too cute! I’ve never seen one of these before. The darling bucket with “birds on the wire” around the rim makes me smile. Another wonderful time spent in your potting shed! ~ Sarah
Mary, I’d just love to come and “hang out” in your potting shed! Always enjoy when you post from there. Really love all your vintage finds…especially that sand! :)
I could spend a day wandering around your potting shed looking at all your treasures. I’m looking forward to seeing how you dress it for fall!
well you did it, you made me get up and find my computer to comment this early morn, the cell phone wasn’t cutting it on your darling pics either. twins again, i am doing something very similar in my new little playroom, ok, laundry room, scott is building me. we went to the salvage yard to get the pieces to put in place last week. DARLING DARLING DARLING, but yours is holding way more then i ever imagined, this is earthquake country, seeing dishes dangle over my head would scare me on a daily basis!
wild over your pail, i have been admiring them ever since sea dream came around, that may be next venture of play.
the artistry in your shots is delightful, appealing from every single angel, LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! and thanks for getting me up in the cold rainy fog, now the kittens are running wild!
Good morning Mary ! Great ideas ! Still in Maine and enjoying the great weather. My husband is home in Fl. Lots of rain and heat.😱Have a great day!
Looks wonderful! I’ve always said, go up go up!! xo marlis
Only you could take an olio of things, hang them in a crazy mixed up fashion and make them look not only fabulous, but like, of course they should be this way!! Now I’m not going to ask you how you are going to get just one thing in the middle without disrupting the whole arrangement because I’m sure you have a plan! It does look adorable, plus you can enjoy it all it plain sight instead of tucked away~Have a great weekend!

Mary, you always MAKE my day when I visit you in the morning! Hanging from the rafters is a fabulous and BEAUTIFUL idea, so that you can see all your wonderful things! LOVE the childs bucket and have never seen/heard of a hotcap! Have a beautiful weekend. Hope it is nice on the lake and you get some boating time in:):) XO
Always love hanging around with you Mary! Jennifer
Hi Mary,
This is a perfect solution for the storage space dilemma, which I think we can ALL relate to. :) You have some wonderful vintage items, and this is a great way to display them. As for the weather, these daily gray skies and rains are turning into an endurance contest at our house — so depressing.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great weekend!
Hugs to you,
Denise
How fun! If I keep adding to my “collections” I will soon need to start ‘hanging from the rafters’…
Oh Mary, how cleaver to hang your treasures from the rafters. Love the little pail – so many wonderful items.
Have a great weekend. Getting hot in So CA – so ready for fall.
Mary
Your potting shed is awesome…what a collection! Have a beautiful evening in Missouri. We will be sitting around the fire tonight and enjoying the cool air…take care:)
I, too, am hanging my collections from the rafters in my potting shed. . .only because my husband thinks the shed is his workshop.
You keep making that garden shed better and better…when I think that it could not be more gorgeous, you do it again with another great addition…I so love all of your garden treasures and I so love the sand pail…remind me to tell you one day about the lady I met who wrote a book on sand pails among other things…She was always featured in magazines…a great friend of Jean LemMon…remember her from BHG and Country Home?
Love your collection. Looks awesome hanging from the rafters.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I love your treasures up there, hanging from the rafters, specially the adorable bucket! Thanks for your sweet visit. Enjoy your last days of lazy daisy summer time. Big hugs,
FABBY
This looks wonderful Mary.
I did hang baskets and dried flower bundles from the ceiling in the kitchen of our home on the farm. That was in the 1980’s, inspired by Mary Emmerling and Country Living magazine.
Love all your treasures just hanging around.I love all your vintage and repurposed items. I am pinning. Have a blessed Sunday. Ginger
The more you add to your potting shed the happier it gets :) So pretty~
So neat to use the space in the rafters.
Wonderful to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays!
