I have a *thing* for gardening gloves. . . I can’t resist picking up a pair blooming with flowers. . . Or with a pretty garden green pattern. . . Or with birds. I have a hard time using them when they’re pristine and new. . . When the gloves I use look like this. ;)…
It’s that time of year when I need a little flower therapy for the winter blues. Although flower therapy seems to help the blues anytime of year! $4 bundles of flowers from the grocery store to the rescue. . . Peach colored spray roses. . . Big hydrangea blooms. . . Old fashioned stock. . . Alstroemeria.…
Thank you for all your visits, comments, shares and Pins in 2016. I’m still amazed you find the time to visit my blog and little Potting Shed! I’m bringing you a little flower therapy on a cold January day when it’s frigid outside and you might be covered in snow! Here’s look back at how I potted, puttered, played around the Potting…
It was downright frosty here this weekend and feeling a little more like Christmas! While it’s nice to have mild temperatures and comfortable porch-sitting weather in December, it doesn’t feel like Christmas to me unless I need to curl up with a blanket or two and have something to sip on to keep warm!

We’ve had a warm week with temperatures in the 80s but we’re cooling down a bit in time for the weekend. Our leaves are just starting to show the first signs of…
With Halloween less than two weeks away, my cauldron is bubbling with fun and inspiration for a Happy Haunting! I like to keep the ‘Happy’ or ‘Jolly’ in Halloween, so I couldn’t resist these vintage-inspired Halloween greetings with little witches. Wiccan Lace plates with the quintessential black cats, bats, haunted houses and spider webs were at HomeGoods,…

I pulled my small collection together to give them their due for a little touch of fall on a window shelf in the Potting Shed, along with some hydrangeas, mini pumpkins and fall grasses. My brown transferware pieces were picked up at…
