A little bird told me that
sometimes, waiting a long time for a thing, makes it all the sweeter when you finally get it. Early one Monday morning, out of the blue, the Busy Beavers pulled up in their old red pick-up truck ,pulling their old rusty flatbed filled with this:
Fresh cut pine boards! To finish Mamsey Bears potting shed! OH BOY!
It's been sitting in it's skeletoned frame for months and months., just waiting for some walls.
Busy Beavers went to work
They put in 3 fine and dandy windows;
Head Busy Beaver added a nice shelf beneath each one, he knew Mamsey would appreciate that.
And they hung the beautiful bright red door from jolly old England.
They even finished off the top of the wisteria arbor that the lord of the Manor, kinda,sorta forgot to finish...... a long long time ago.
Little pots of Lavender sit in the window and bedding plants are ready to be placed in various containers,
and in old wheelbarrows and wagons.
Loads and loads of goat and sheep compost ( otherwise known as poop) sit behind her potting shed just waiting to be turned into new and exciting gardens... which will grow beautiful blooms, which will attract hungrey little bees, which will produce lots of tasty honey which will give Mamsey lots of sweet muffins and pannie cakes which will cause Mamsey bear to put on mucho fat!
BZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
The lord of the Manor PROMISES to erect a rustic cedar grape arbor ( cut from the cedars in the Hollow) which will attach to the tin red roof of the potting shed.
Mamsey will grow luscious, fat grapes with which to make jellies and jams and fruit salads!
"Indeed I will!"
All that is needed is a nice cobblestone floor and then Mamsey can move in all her really neat stuff and such, ( she will show you the interior AFTER she does all her decorating)
Mamsey has promised to let the mistress of the manor use her potting shed whenever she wishes..... and the Fuzzyfoot gardeners too. And so we shall!
It looks charming already! I was drooling over your wheelbarrow when I noticed the cutest fence in the Western Hemisphere. Simply magical, Jeri!
ReplyDeleteInsanely Cute!
ReplyDeleteWho needs honey with all that sweetness?
OMG - that is just adorable! And the fence is so unique - little rabbits. I love it all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful little shed, and your fence is exquisitely beautiful! Your posts always make me smile, make my heart feel lighter, make me feel like getting outside to work on our own little haven.
ReplyDeleteThis shed is a real little treat for all to enjoy. I look forward to seeing the gardens that surround it too and the wonderful paint job it will have in a few months.
Enjoy

How sweet is this !
ReplyDeleteThe most adorable little potting shed, and if you are like me, will spend every waking moment inside.
I have a sign that says Gone to Pot, quite literally.
Hubby shouldn't expect any homecooked meals from here on out, all your time will be spent in the potting shed, install a kettle and teapot, and you will never have to leave !
Absolutley LOVE your fence picketts, I have never seen anything as delightful :)
Good job !
Oh Jeri it is the sweetest potting shed. Mamsey did good. LOL! The red door looks so pretty on it. I just adore your picket fence too. How cute is that.
ReplyDeleteI cut out over 200 pickets with my trusty bosch jigsaw and my jawhorse for the fence.Husband did everything else. And Jo, he also does all the cooking!
ReplyDeleteI found the wheelbarrow, red wagon and the old watering can at the flea market... all three for $50, a trifling sum for so many nice rusty goodies!
OH, Is it not just lovely, you must be so, so, pleased I know I would, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteThat is the prettiest shed! It's beautiful inside and out. The picket fence near it is darling. You must be so excited!
ReplyDeleteI love it! So beautiful! Can I help you paint it?
ReplyDeleteAh Jeri, everything about this is just so wonderful! What a stunning shed - and the location! How kind of the little people to share it.
ReplyDeleteHello Jeri, I'm so happy to have came across your blog! The classical touch to your illustrations is amazing... something we don't see much these days! Can't wait to get to know you and your art better... (^_^)
ReplyDeleteHara, Please, please help me paint it!
