I planted some black eyed susan vine this year, too. I planted it from seed and it took a little while to get going, but now it's amazing. My variety has a bunch of different colors and it's so pretty. I love how yours is growing on the chair!<br /><br />It's lovely that you have your mother's depression glass and what a wonderful story from her life to go with it. <br /><br />I hope you are doing well. Sending big hugs.Anne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-17083906195343456672017-09-07T18:59:01.158-07:002017-09-07T18:59:01.158-07:00Amazing how ten cents could at one time buy you an...Amazing how ten cents could at one time buy you an icecream cone.

I'm so glad I picked today. (I've been traveling and didn't make it before I left!) Your planter looks great -- I love doing planters, too. I've been working on a planter chair (the poor caned seat died eons ago and the chair wasn't in good enough shape to make recaning worth it.) A little late in the season to finish, but that's life!<br /><br />I especially loved the story of your mom's favorite vase. That's so special.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-53584998380608345202017-08-25T12:27:02.653-07:002017-08-25T12:27:02.653-07:00Thank you for leaving such a sweet comment, Betty....Thank you for leaving such a sweet comment, Betty.

Your family story about your Mom is so special. My Mom worked in a five and dime in Philadelphia during the depression. She told us stories of sales reps coming in and giving away free household items to the workers so they could try them out and suggest them to the customers. She said the holidays were the best. They would decorate the store and it made them feel festive during a difficult time in our country. I love seeing your flowers and the gardening hints you give. When you feature homes that are small and people live in them everyday I really enjoy that.

I love them and every time I use one, it reminds me of her! I have a yellow "hobnail" and a white china vase (oh so pretty) and a really old china vase that looks like a big pitcher.. tall and thin.. and flowers look so wonderful in it. she grew all flowers she could cut and put in the house. I tend to leave mine out in the yard to admire. It's wonderful to have a few of our parents' things to bring back the memories of them. I love that chair and how everything is spilling up and out now! Hugs..
