I like a sign on a garden gate. It lets you pause and collect yourself before you enter inside. I took a ramble in this rose garden today, and got stuck. As soon as I unhinged myself from one thorny cane, another reached out for me and held on, until I picked up the knack of holding in my arms, that is until I saw this rose:
Butter yellow, shell pink and raspberry tinged. So I stood there awhile, because it smelled sweet, and because bees zipped by and there was a sort of lonesome, longing wind through the pines. Then I remembered I was hungry.
So home I came, but look what I brought back with me.
These new garden signs are porcelain, run over with lace pressed in by a brayer, then a medallion is added. This one is painted with a farmhouse, larkspur and other summer blooms, with a watering can weather vane. Below it reads 'All the seasons run their race in this quiet resting place.'
Oh, and a rabbit piece because I can't seem to paint a batch of pottery without adding one to the firing.xx

Oh, how I love the pictures in the summer garden. Beautiful. And I really like the new garden gate signs. I agree, every garden gate does need one. And oh yes, one more comment. The photograph of the rabbit mug with the stacks of books.
Perfection.
The garden signs are beautiful. I particularly like the lacy borders.
Lovely new garden gate signs. The little hedgehog looks so inviting. You know how I feel about the pitcher,my request is in. Have a lovely evening.
What a lovely garden gate sign this is. You're right. Everyone needs one.
The photo with your hand holding the rose( looks like a Double Delight ) is so charming. Very nice.
P.S.

Yes, I agree.
Every garden needs a garden gate with a JW garden sign hanging off of it. These new signs are wonderful!
The rose is beautiful, and it looks wonderful with that old oli painting.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Julie
I have just discovered your blog and think it is delightful..
Your work is exquisite!
Just beautiful, Julie. Whenever I enter your world, my spirit is lifted in the loveliest ways. I think I'm going to pitch a pup tent in front of my computer so I can maybe have a chance at some of your new Etsy things before they fly off the shelves! The garden signs and rabbitware are precious. xox
IYour things are so happy.
I did download the heart gate sign as my computer wallpaper. Hope that is o.k. It is so fresh and cheerful.
