Bottlecap crochet was a thing? How did I miss that?

Grape hot mats. Big aluminum tray in a grape leaf pattern. Some things are just made to go together!
I thought they were made of crocheted puffs that were stuffed with fiberfill or something. And then I picked one up.
They’re heavy!
Find out how they’re made-it’s easy!
Fabulous fall fun at Sage Farm

Last weekend’s “Of Autumns Past” show at Sage Farm was all-out beautiful. Lots of natural wood, harvest colors, and sparkling lights. Here are a few of my favorite things.
Curves & color & BIG PRESENCE—this green rush-seated bench has it all. Somebody else thought so, too, and snapped it up on the first day of the show.
I loved this shapely green bench! The dealer said he’d got it from the elderly original owners. It was Hitchcock or Hitchcock-style when it was new, and after the black paint wore off they painted it green, and after the green wore off it they didn’t do a thing more. Genius.
Come see us at Sage Farm this weekend!

If I had a backyard bigger than a patch of grass with a swingset, I’d put these in it.

(If only I had one!) All three were repurposed from vintage bits of this & that by somebody with imagination and a lot of talent.
A potting bench with an antique single tap and an unusual square porcelain enamel cast iron sink basin. Hook it up to your outdoor plumbing and you have a marvelous place to pot up and to wash hands when you’re done! Two drawers for tools and seed packets plus a vintage ironstone soap dish add functionality. And those white turned columns for the upper shelf add a little glam, don’t they?

Sage Farm’s April show was titled, “A Hint of Spring,” but that was completely misleading.
There were no hints. It was SPRING ALL OVER, baby! Everywhere you looked.
Lots of green, like this fun shelf. Its leafy color really pops against the perennially popular white ironstone pieces.
