Weekends at Home

I usually collect santos and angels, but I saw this statue and could not stop thinking about it.  A week later, my husband took me back to the specialty shop to get it for me. Fortunately there were a few.

It has such a cherubic, peaceful expression, and it is a unique portrayal with a vintage vibe.

For now the statue is on my sleeping porch.

I really like the light distressing on it.

I also went to the garden shop to pick up some annuals to plant in the garden beds.  I plant these in the beds to attract the bees and the butterflies. I will be starting my spring  kitchen garden in two weeks. I grew some nice winter tomatoes, but not a lot this year. 

Because it was unseasonably cold for a few days, the plants succumbed to the weather, 

and most of the tomatoes dropped before turning red.

While I was outside, he took a break from playing with the cat on the roof to pose for some photos on top of this distressed armoire that I use for outdoor supplies.

Inside, I have enjoyed looking at my first copy of this magazine. I found it at a vintage store that carries the magazine. This issue has lovely photos, recipes, and articles on French and Nordic style.

Needless to say, I've not finished picking up from the holiday, but I've made progress. We also went to dinner with some friends of ours that are artists. Afterwards, he had us try a painting technique that is just suppose to be free form. His daughter and my daughter had a lot of fun, but the paint is not dry yet. I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend.
