Lavender and Ludicrous

Saturday morning started pretty much like most others... garage sales! There were 3 of them, and I did very well. My first find was Tuki, a Polynesian statue (on the left), not to be confused with Jake. Next came my purchase of a couple of patio umbrellas. This red one was the favorite, and right away found a home in front of Chris's workshop. Other finds were a cool fish chime, an ornamental olive oil can from Nice, and a cedar chest that we will use to store kindling. My next event for the day was staining some landscape ties. I did a dreadful job and picked the wrong stain color. But once it dried I thought it might be a good contrast to the yellow spartium, the lavender and the purple cone flowers. The lavender against the crazy funky shack is now accented by the purple/cherry ties. It is quite ludicrous really if you are right in front of all this.
