GARDEN HISTORY Chapter 10

Pictured below are the fruit trees I planted on the side yard. The plum is the closest. This stayed. The other two had to be replaced because they would grow large for this small space. I replaced them with a transplanted blueberry shrub (moved from under a too dark tree canopy), a dwarf peach and a dwarf pear. Not seen here are the dwarf apple and the pomegranate.

In the far back, next to the shed, is where I planted the ferns. I mentioned those earlier. We did keep two (very antique) camellia shrubs. One has a wonderful double red blossom. I left one as a bush. The other I keep trimmed and pruned as a short tree because it grows between the house and shed. This one blooms pink and stands behind the shed but tops over the fence so it gets enough light.
Now that you all have had the tour of my entire, small yard. The last place that is left is the vegetable garden! This garden is only about 9×24 feet in size but it does produce a lot of food! By the way, I grow catnip and cat grass in all of those pots. Have to keep the kitties well fed too. Lol
From here on out I will be able to update this Journal with some ease. Plus, I will be able to post current pictures as things happen.
I hope you will continue to enjoy the on going saga of this garden in Southeastern Virginia.

RESOLVE TO BE...

Resolve to be tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving,
and tolerant with the weak and wrong...
because sometime in your life you will have been all of these.

Hull Pottery Mirror Brown Drip Cheese Shaker


The House n' Garden line of dinnerware was made by Hull Pottery from 1960-1985. There were many pieces made in this line. Hull's Mirror Brown dishes remain popular with collectors today. It was very well-made. Some pieces are easy to find, and then there are the elusive ones.
Here I have available for purchase is a hard-to-find Hull Pottery brown drip cheese shaker. This scarce piece is in very good condition, with no chips or cracks. It stands approx. 6-3/4" tall. It has a bulbous body and a tall neck, and there are two holes on the top. This piece is a beautiful, shiny brown, with the ivory foam drip finish at the top. It is missing its stopper, but otherwise it's a fantastic piece to add to any Hull brown drip collection! It is marked USA on the bottom. This Hull Pottery brown drip cheese shaker is available for purchase at www.onlineauction.com .

Check out my OLA Store to see what other collectible and vintage treasures I currently have available.

WHAT'S IN YOUR SOAP?
Have you ever looked at what is in the soap you buy from the store? Here are the ingredients from a bar of a very popular beauty bar (brand name furnished upon request):

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Paraffin (yes, that's wax as the second ingredient... now you know how they make the soap hard and how they make it last), Sodium Cocoglyceryl Ether Sulfonate, Glycerin, Water, Talc, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Magnesium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Coconut Acid, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoate, Fragrance (which means perfume with an alcohol base... otherwise it would be listed as a fragrance oil or essential oil), Magnesium Laurate, Lauric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Laurate, Tetrasodium Edta, Etidronic Acid, Butyrosepermum Parkii (shea butter extract), Peg-90-M.

WHAT'S IN THIS SOAP:

Pasteurized Goat Milk, Safonified Olive Oil, Safonified Coconut Oil, Safonified Palm Oil, Safonified Soybean Oil, Cocoa Butter, Essential Oils, Natural Vegetable Coloring, and a Homemade Glycerin Base.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) does not require makers of homemade soap to list ingredients as long as no promises are made other than the soap will clean your body. I list the ingredients because I think it's important that my customers know what is in their soap! My husband and oldest son help me make the soap and we take every precaution to make sure your soap is prepared in and around sanitary conditions. We use gloves, aprons, smocks, sanitized utensils, top of the line ingredients, etc.
