Just enjoyed outside

I was outside doing yard work as always , since it is spring. I just got my patio cleaned off from winter and fall leaves and  branches  . Then it stormed again  last weelend and then I had more tree branches and  those twirle things , we use to call them helicopters.
Anyway done once more then mowed front yard and swept my drive way My neighbors ask me to go out to eat super with them and I was just to tired to spruce myself up
While I was out back I took my lady planter and a few other things to dress up my patio table, Oh how I wish I had a large screned in porch.

                                                         

A friend was over Saturday and she dressed up my lady planter with these silk flowers that I bought at a florist sale for 10 cents a stem, just odds and ends , however so pretty


                                                     
I had to put a bird in her beautiful arrangement, just like Marie Anyionette would do .


                             

I couldn't decide if I liked this tray of shells & pearls on the table or the Ball jars


                                            

I had never really noticed how these jars say differeent things, the first one says just Ball, the second one Ball Mason, the third one Ball Perfect mason ? guess maybe they are from different years like our cell phones now a never version every year

                                              
                                                              

                                 
I know we have all seen these blue ftruit jars on blogs for ever seems like but I never get tired of seeing them and they look so good outside on my patio table. This is one of the tall ones, I just paid $2.50 each for them at a sale last couple weeks . I have several I bought back when I lived In Kentucky years ago.

    How sweet of you friend to stop by with flowers... the lady vase is so pretty with all her adornments. I have to dig my Ball jars out of their hiding place in the garage....

    Thanks for sharing this at my party :)

    I love your lady planter. I am looking for 5 of them for my garden to put succulents in them. I have the perfect spot but am not having any luck finding them yet. So the hunt continues.....

      my little berry bucket is blue swirl granitware and I have had that for years and a gal I use to work with in the 80's said it was her husbands grandfathers and she got it out of his old smokehouse on the farm

    I adore blue Ball jars. I have a few larger ones - quarts maybe -a few regular size ones. Here is a link to a site that tells you how to date your Ball jars - the different wording does mean different years. Maybe you have a super rare one. http://home.earthlink.net/~raclay/DatingBalljars.HTML

      thanks for that information, i will check it out
      i did purchase these jars from a yard sale where a 93 year old lady had died and her 75 year old daughter was selling items, so I am sure they have some age on them

    Thanks for the info you gave me on Savannah. We have visited there before, but I am looking forward to the extended visit. We do plan on a tour. Tours help us to know what is in the area for interest and for eating! I have to be careful of Gluten so it sometimes presents problems! My hubby did say he would like to go to Paula Deans place (Hmm, don't know how to spell her last name!). I hear her boys are supposed to be cooking healthier? Do they have their own place? I take it Lady and Sons is her original place?
