As promised in a past post, I said I'd take some pics of some of the mailboxes I have collected over the summer! This is the picture that started my collection. Don't you just love this idea??I think the article said it was in an enclosed porch, I just love the idea. Geraniums and umbrellas.
This is what I have put on my new patio off the front porch. It's just some ivy for now, this fall Ill put something live in it. It's so hot now, I'd never get anything to grow in front.
The rustier the better. I bought one of these last weekend and it had set on my porch a couple days and I looked in it and it had the lady's mail in it. I had to run it back over to her:)
This one sits on a stone bench out front of the house.
Another stone bench in the oval of our driveway.
Sorry this one is so blurry. The humidity is so high, you step outside and the camera lenses fogs right up.
On my deck I have one on a wooden bench with some greenery in it. So ladies start picking up those old mailboxes at those tag sales and put them to use.
I bought 5 old ladders this weekend. These are the tallest ones. They are old too. I had to wait for Mike to help me hoist them up the tree last night. my cousins husband is putting in a new septic system for a guy who just bought an old house on 5 acers and he gave us some old clay pots and in the old barn he had these old ladders. I bought them all for one price and we hauled them home the other night. They stuck way out of Mikes truck, but we got em here!!
Look how tall this one goes into the tree. This one has an old pulley and rope on it way up there. I put the rest of them out on the side of the garage. Mike has a car lift inside this garage and the building is really tall. Ill have to post that some day! Have a great weekend, it's so super hot here in Kansas. :(
