SIT A SPELL

I thought the best way to introduce you to my new blog is to welcome you in through one of my garden gates. I found this iron fence in Corpus Christi, Texas, on one of my many adventures. This is one of many gates I purchased from a man who brought these wonderful architectural treasures back from a trip to Egypt. I think they were originally used as window safety covers for a large mansion. I saw them as garden courtyard embellishments and gates, as well as great trellis homes for honeysuckle, jasmine and clematis.

The gate in the picture needed a Texas Touch. I took an antique spur, attached it to my gate post and yeehaw..the coolest latch ever.

So, come on in, sit a spell and let's get acquainted. In the future, I will be posting some neat DIY projects with easy instructions. I will be sharing finished projects as well and I would love to hear all about your Rusty Dusty finds, projects and adventures. Now finish your cold sweet tea and let's have some fun.

I am a country girl who holds a ticket to the city. I live in rural Texas. I live with a multitude of interesting creatures. On any given day, I can see beautiful iridescent dragonflies, hawks including the majestic Red Tailed, birds, rabbits, squirrels, and of course the usual horses, cows and the occasional camel--really. I am an avid gardener, lover of all things rusty and am always looking for my next project. I have been "re-purposing" ( love that name) for more years than I want to reveal. Dumpster diving is my sport of choice. No manicures for me, unless you call dipping my hands in paint thinner a spa day, then I am all about it. I also am a writer, a poet and a traveler. I love God's creations and relish daily in my blessings.
