First Bloomed Bulb of the Summer

This year I planted gladiola bulbs I got from the dollar store. They're doing well. This is one of the first to bloom and I put it in this wall vase that was a gift from my sister. The vase is a test tube mounted into a metal buckle (?) with a piece of vintage molding as the base. I covered the nail up with a piece of antique blue ribbon.

  1. Came across your blog and just had to share how much I enjoy the photos of Gideon. I have a sheep-doodle (sheep-dog/poodle mix) and I love him. He has the loving sense of humor of the OES. He also has the hind-end of the OES. He is part of our family, too. Actully, he's a rather LARGE part of our family! LOL.

  5. Dawn,
    Those curtain rods are from Lowes and if you can believe it they are only $13 each. You just can't beat that price!
