National Hamburger Month and Day

These might be interesting to try. There was a Maid-Rite sandwich shop in the town I grew up in.  It is one of the few remaining early Maid-Rite franchises in the United States. This specific shop, built in 1921, claims to have the first drive-thru window in the U.S. The building, along historic U.S. Route 66, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Potting Bench Hack

From Garden Gate Magazine

I came across this tip the other day while browsing in our Back Issue Library and thought you might be able to use it this spring: Lay an old oven rack across your wheelbarrow to use as a potting bench for containers. I like this idea because it’s portable, it saves space and it makes it easy to collect and re-use whatever potting mix inevitably spills over the edge of the pot while you’re planting.

Peace Necklace

An interesting piece of jewelry.  Reminds me of the 70's.  Perfect for out times today.

I have 4 of these chairs.  They make a great plant stand.  I have painted 2 a moss green but you can make them any color you like.  Great focal point for the garden.  

I hope everyone is finding a way to show Mom some love today.  I know most of us are still not able to visit in person.  

Another Idea for Mom

What is it you ask?  A bar of soap tied with a vintage handkerchief.  Potted Petals has lots of vintage handkerchiefs to choose from.  Wrap something special in it for Mom instead of using wrapping paper.  

Neat Idea for Mom

Fill a decorative vintage plate or small vintage item with some nice soaps or other treasures.   Potted Petals has some lovely vintage pieces.  Let me help you put something special together.
