Show Off Your Cottage Monday

WE had a wonderful wonderful spring day today—our first real day of sunshine and warmth-like spring day!

I cannot begin to tell you how extra elated I am! And I have worked and worked and worked so hard and so much outside making everything look pretty! But that’s OK with me; I love to work when I know that later I can sit down and love the results of a hard day’s work. I’m quite satisfied...

I've been on a decoupage kick… still super loving Mod Podge! I've been working on several projects... like these extra cute decoupaged flower pots!

Other projects coming up! For now this is it! For those of you not familiar with our "linky parties” they are basically a chance for us home and garden lovers to show off… well, just that—our homes and gardens! And all in all whatever is going on in our life that’s worth sharing! Got anything you’d like to share? Then link up! But remember:

Etiquette for linky parties

1) Link to a recent project post, and not a link to the front page of your blog, your Etsy store or a giveaway.

2) Link back to the host’s blog via a button or text link. This is a common courtesy, and it is usually appreciated if you link back in the same blog post that you are linking up.

  2. Beautiful garden shots. The decoupaged pots are great - what do you use to hold up against water from the soil inside?

  8. Oh Cielo, I love your pots. The rose images are so perfect. I really need to make some. I have plenty of Mod Podge. Your garden looks lovely. I too love working hard and reaping the rewards. However, sometimes my body doesn't agree. Last Monday I hauled mulch all day. My right knee has been killing me ever since. It's the pits to get old. lol! Thanks for hosting!
    Hugs,

  12. Thank you Cielo! I too am loving your new header. I am so unobservant at times so was wondering how long you had had it when I saw it - am glad to know I actually observed pretty quickly this time!

    Your pots are adorable and such a good way to pretty up some of my old planters!

  16. Hi I'm a new follower. I so love your roses and the plant pots are so cute. Did you use napkins are a decorative paper to decoupage? I have some that could use some prettying up and this would be so easy. Thanks for sharing. If you like, I'd love for you to link them to my Tuesday linky party.

  23. Beautiful post! I'm a fan of those flower pots too! Your garden is a wonderful place. It's a tad cool and breezy here but your pictures make me want to get out and dig in the dirt anyway :-)

    Happiness to you,
