Welcome. I am so glad that you stopped by. With snow on the ground in all fifty states you are just in time to take a break from the weather and join me. My friend Kathy, who owns the Vintage Lady in Old Town Tustin, CA, invited us to have tea with her and take a tour of her Winter Vintage Garden. We are having a break in our very rainy weather in Southern California today . . . . I don't know about you, but I am anxious for Spring and Spring garden planting and need to get outside. Kathy has a way of adding color to her garden even in the winter.
Let's get Bentley, my Studio Assistant, and go for a visit.
Bentley is ready to go - he loves going in the car and exploring Kathy's garden.
Old Town Tustin is like going back in time. The mail man picks up the Vintage Lady's mail in a basket left by the front door .
Let's take a peek inside before we go out in the back to her charming little garden filled with old Vintage finds.
Kathy does such a great job "bringing the outside inside" by decorating her shop with old vintage garden furniture.
Every room in her little cottage is painted a different color.
Let's go outside into the garden. Her vintage garden is charming year round - even in the Winter when very few flowers are in bloom.
Kathy adds color with charming signs and vintage figurines .
Love her red winter primroses.
The addition of adorable blue birds to a simple ivy plant is a great way to brighten winter garden plants.
A sweet little ferry with a wicker heart supporting the green plant is adorable and not a bloom in sight.
Looks like a few blooms are starting to peek out inspired by all of our rain.
Kathy designs her darling signs and has a local artist paint them. The red brings so much life and color to her winter garden.
The darling little blue birds are going to go home with me to live in my winter garden.
I love how bright and cheerful the red settee looks in the garden. Hmm - I may have to take this home with me.
Look how cute the old red wagon looks with hearty green plants .
Another sweet cherub brightens a green plant.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Vintage Lady. Kathy has a website where you can see more of her adorable shop and garden:
