Glasshouse decorating for a beginner...

Flowers with happy faces ready to face a winter's day.....

After visiting the very lovely Cherryhill Cottage blogspot, I just had to have a go at making one of the old windows glasshouses. It is not quite finished but I thought I would show you all so you can appreciate the finished product when it is done- and decorated.The day I went to the antiques and collectibles swapmeet was not a very fruitful one but on the way home I managed to find some old windows, at a very reasonable price, for this project. I had picked up a beautiful, pale green, antique glass knob that was just the shot for the glasshouse door. There was also a-wait for it- GRAVE MARKER- that I was rather fascinated by. The lady I bought it off thought it was a weird thing to want to buy. Hey! She was the one selling it. To me it was just a nice piece of old metal with numbers on it. Anyway,I can't go passed something a little different to the ordinary.

As a joint effort, John and I sanded, painted and nailed and voila- a little glasshouse .
I will probably pot some more pretty plants to go in it. John has already turned a large wooden candlestick to add some height to the arrangement on the inside.

Happy day to you all...
