Have I ever told you that my favorite color is green?
I love this farmhouse with its white picket fence.
This fence provides some privacy but also frames the tree. Pretty clever, I thought.
Imagine you’re in a meadow and this happens to you. Did you feel the rush like I did?
A clothesline is definitely in my future, and Martha shows you how to build one . . . and it’s removable!
Do you watch the HGTV show called “Fixer Upper“? It’s become a new favorite of mine. I love Joanna’s and Chip’s style (and skills), and I could move right into their farmhouse.
Such a pretty green collection in a small cubby cabinet. (You know I love those!) Oh, and if you like this particular shade of green, check out Vintage Mama’s “That Green” Pinterest board.
I tend to like more formal garden designs. I suppose it’s because of their symmetry and well-trimmed look. There’s plenty to love about this one. Notice the defined beds and the rock work ledge that’s also convenient seating. The rolling hills, the shed, and the profusion of roses also deserve a mention.
I think the title of this vintage book and the illustration are simply delightful.
I too am a green lover…that farmhouse is so delish!
I always look forward to your post. You do a great job!
Thanks so much, Karen! Glad you enjoy my Friday Favorites posts.
I love green (esp with hints of jadeite like ‘that green’), and I think I need to see Fixer Upper – I keep hearing great things about it. I like the fact that you like more formal gardens but crave such vintage, repurposed style – quite a nice juxtaposition. I think it comes through in your style, which I love! Have a great weekend, Kim.

Rita, I think you’ll LOVE Fixer Upper. You can watch all past episodes online. When you check it out, please let me know what you think.
I think I like formal gardens, too, because I dislike plants that take over the world. I know you know what I mean.
Hope you have a great weekend also, Rita!
What a beautiful selection! Brings me back to my childhood, you have great taste!
Thanks, Ace! I appreciate it. 🙂
Kim, When I saw your “Plenty of Fish” sign I laughed right out loud. I am an old lady (67) and I joined a dating website called plentyoffish.com. Not much luck there either. Christian men who have Christian values seem to be hard to find. LOL I loved you sign. That’s the kind of “fish” I should stick to. LOL

PS I love the green wall.
I’ve heard of that dating site but I’ve never been on it. Try e-Harmony. It worked for me and Mark! 🙂
Love your pics and L.O.V.E fixer upper! It’s my fav program…they are such a fun couple and her design skills are so unique.
Agreed! I think it’s my favorite HGTV show now.
Great web site. Lots of helpful information here. I am sending it to a few buddies ans also sharing in delicious.
And obviously, thanks to your effort!
