Yes, that’s a bathtub—and yes, we’re pulling it across the farm. This post includes affiliate links. I have a friend with an old vintage bathtub tucked into her flower beds, complete with a solar fountain and I’ve loved it ever since I saw it. So when we moved to the farm last year and were…
Over the past few seasons, I have been experimenting with homemade, homegrown decoration ideas. While we were out on the farm a few weeks ago, I found a long grapevine and pulled it down to create a homemade wreath for my garage door. With just a few other branches from one of my cedar trees…
