When we first moved into this house a few months ago, my friend Jenny was visiting and pointed out that we had an upturned sink buried in our garden. I'd seen the base of it poking out amongst some weeds, but never realised that's what it was. And then it stayed there for quite some time until I could successfully cajole Tom to move it for me (it was heavy and housed a colony of unusual-looking spiders). Anyway, one evening after a couple of glasses of wine he agreed to let me 'help' drag it out of the dirt and set it up as a planter box (my idea was to place it outside the kitchen window but, on account of its weight, we decided that one metre away from where we found it would be fine.)
So now I have a beautiful antique concrete sink planter-box with herbs and flowers growing inside. I planted some miniature sweet peas inside, so am interested to see what they will be like when in flower.
Also pictured above: strawberries for pudding picked from outside (my current favourite food) and a stack of finished needlebooks. That's what I've been making lately with my small embroideries. I'm getting ready to have a stall here at the Auckland Art and Craft Fair on December 11th. But a fair bit more work will be required this weekend.
Hope you have a good one, blog-readers!
