Flower and Patio Show!!

We had a wonderful day yesterday! 

My mother had won four tickets to the Indianapolis Flower and Patio Show.  She offered my husband  and I two of the tickets and we had a great time!  I had wanted to go, but at $12 a ticket I just couldn't see doing it.  We got lucky and only had to pay $3 for parking.

The theme this year was books and the gardens were decorated to represent different stories.  Warning we are picture heavy today!!!

 Above is the Alice In Wonderland garden.  Just to cute for words.

Robin Hood was beautiful!

The Wizard of Oz was a big favorite!!

There were just so many themes, to many to show you.  If you ever have the chance you must go to this show.  The ideas will just run thru your head for your yard!!

They had everything from ponds to yard decorations.  Just awsome!!!!!

After the show we went to two of my favorite places and had a wonderful ending to a wonderful day!!

New Job For an Old Item

A while back my mother asked me if I would like a marble paper towel holder.  I accepted it for a couple of reasons.
1.   It use to belong to my grandmother
2.   It is marble
3.   If its free, its for me!!!!!

I wan't sure what to do with it at first.  I don't buy paper towels, I'm to frugal.  And I didn't want to deface it in anyway.

I got the idea to use it as a holder for extra rolls of toliet paper!  The idea came to me the day I was stuck in the bathroom without a spare roll.  It seems I am the only one that knows how to replace it.

It sits proudly on a shelf for use in case of  emergencies!

Not a new creations but it is frugal!!!
