Your pottery bits remind me of all the lovely stuff that my Dad use to dig up at work - he was a mainlayer for the water company so dug some quite deep holes and use to unearth some interesting finds. Sadly no really valuable buried treasure but interesting Victorian pharmaceutical jars and bottles which after retirement a local antiques dealer did buy some from him. Sorry I haven't joined in this week - I really need to get back to this blogging lark properly :D Have a good week!!KraftyKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414480551327007813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-4395286235301861242016-04-21T20:35:52.585+01:002016-04-21T20:35:52.585+01:00Playing catch-up on blog reading today.

Your pottery fragments have me imagining a story where naughty children broke dishes and buried them in the garden so their parents wouldn't know... probably not what really happened but does it make you wonder how all those bits got in the dirt to begin with???Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-71602627234205083632016-04-21T02:42:28.637+01:002016-04-21T02:42:28.637+01:00What an interesting collection of fragments!

The closest thing we have to that in our area would be bullets and other remnants from the Civil War. Since we don't live on the battlefield, I've never uncovered anything. The best I've ever found would be some plump earth worms. I must say, since beggars can't be choosers, I do treasure them! I just won't be bringing them in to the house!

For garden weeds we use white vinegar - it kills the offending plant right down to the root in a short space of time & is environmentally friendly, you just have to be sure NOT to spray on plants you want to keep.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-14524262095325900202016-04-18T18:32:17.307+01:002016-04-18T18:32:17.307+01:00I love all those little bits of treasure from your...I love all those little bits of treasure from your garden.

The idea being that if I don't know what size zip (or other matching notions) I need then I don't have a plan for it and should refrain from buying. Unless of course, it's so pretty or such a bargain, I just can't resist its call!

We were going to piece them back together and make a fortune until... Mum threw the whole lot away. Not sure about the weed killer but I stand guard on my garden if husband comes near with it.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013731736768963395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-14834977467678904932016-04-18T15:23:17.454+01:002016-04-18T15:23:17.454+01:00I can see why it's called Blue Tit, your lovel...I can see why it's called Blue Tit, your lovely wool. it looks cheerful and a little bit Swedish too :). Well done on your girl's run and hats off (or on!) to her on such a cold blustery day. We had know and hail.

I see a parallel to scrapbooking supplies there. And that note to self could also apply to cardstock and patterned paper too. So you can see that my thoughts are fully in my studio today, although the sun is shining brightly outside my window. Have a great week.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.com
