We also drove back to our former town today, where there are several wholesale growers, to buy some of our summer plants, and now we want to get out there in the dirt and plant!
Using Picasa, I have done a mosaic, but it ain't much. I promise a better effort next time! Click here to see way, way better mosaics --- certainly much prettier ones!
Yes, this is an odd choice of subject for a mosaic -- no pretty peonies! I did a post back in February, on the old doorknobs and locks and latches in That Old House. Some of them are lovely, some are painfully practical, and I love all of them. That post is here, if you are a glutton for punishment and want to see more of our old doorknobs, with a few bedknobs and bell ringers tossed in.
Have a lovely Monday, and thanks to Mary, whose blog was the first I ever stumbled upon!

I have door knob envy! That was a great subject for a mosaic. They're all so different!
ReplyDeleteOh Cass, they are al beautiful! I LOVE that one that looks like swirly tortoiseshell...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you managed to join the fun!
cass ~what a unique group of knobs ~ so creative!...mine is not flowers either
ReplyDeleteCass I love this mosaic. So original. They are pieces of art individually and together.
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun! Thanks for being unique in your offering this week. I think this is so interesting!
ReplyDeleteI like this post, Cass. It give me another chance to see more of your home. The doorknobs are cool. Sort of changes that assumption that all doorknobs in old homes are made of glass!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy plant shopping! We are still having frost at night...

Wonderful! It's so good that I'll be back later to take a closer look.
ReplyDeleteHi Cass,
ReplyDeleteYour so funny, love this post! Old door knobs fascinate me, when I was a kid one of my great-aunts had doors with glass knobs that were so pretty. I always remember admiring those. Hope all is well with you, Cindy
I love your doorknob mosaic! It's full of beauty: a lot more interesting than you'd think! Wonderful idea!

I have a thing for old door knobs. One of the things I most regretted leaving behind at a previous house was an old door with a lovely old crystal knob - but the new owner would've noticed if I'd swapped it with a fake!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these door knobs. We had "diamond" ones in our first home - - - a lovely little Cape Cod style house. I LOVED them.
ReplyDeleteLove your mosaic, love the red doorknob, there are endless combinations for mosaic making, I am so enjoying everyones selections. happy Monday, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteI love old doorknobs. They have always been one of my favorite things.

ReplyDeleteThat's why I love old houses - the little details like doorknobs and handles.
ReplyDeleteWhere has craftsmanship gone?
