A Fun Morning With Ashley

It all started when Ashley left her I-Phone at home and wanted me ~ all muddy from working outside ~
to bring it to her at work.
She bribed me with a morning of her help in the garden the next day before she went to work .
She even bought me a flat of Impatiens that night for us to plant!
I was so touched but since I know she hates gardening ~ I suggested doing some mosaic.

We found some empty pots.....
and broken glass and went at it!
I was in heaven ~ as the morning sun was just hitting the garden and the birds were exploding in song ~
to be with my sweet daughter doing a project ~ just like the old days!

We decided to keep the glass in big chunks because every time I smacked it with the hammer ~
Teddi barked endlessly and we didn't want to disturb our neighbors so early in the morning.
They still have to be grouted but aren't they cool!
I am CRAZY over Ashley's! I love the Baily's coffee cup and how chunky it looks.
Mine is rimmed with one of my favorite pink vases from the 1940's.
When Frank and I came home from Pa.~ it layed in pieces with a note from Ashley that she broke it but would glue it all back together if I'd like :)
Somehow ~ this was alot more fun!
