My favourite place.
Not to everyone's taste, I know, but it makes me happy & I enjoy styling it with finds & makes...

Liked the look of these storage tins that came with a small scoop on the side (actually to store bird food) & thought they would be useful in the greenhouse for plant food etc & then i added a little vintage style print to each...seems to work.

Arrived home to some lovely post in the form of these #gifted & beautifully photographed packets of seeds from the very kind people @stocksandgreen
Might even sow a few of them over the next few evenings.

Happily spent time in the greenhouse potting on foxgloves, aquilegia, monarda & bananas.

An old make.
A fence post, half a scaffold board & a couple of old trays.

Woken early by the wind & rain battering the windows, hoping to head into the greenhouse for a couple of hours later with a coffee & the radio for company...
