Free Printable ~ Antique Aster Seed Packet

 

Happy Friday to everyone ..

 

I'm sure many of you are gearing up for a wonderful Memorial day weekend .. with Family, Friends, maybe the first BBQ of the Season ...

 

I thought I would share another beautiful seed packet this week .. since we are still in spring and summer even though it feels as though it's arrived in many parts of the country isn't officially here.

 

This Beautiful Aster Packet is another from our sweet collection ..

 

I love how they made the packets of yesteryear so appealing and beautiful. Today's seed packets or I should say the one's I have seen at the local hardware store are just not appealing. I can imagine if they actually put some gorgeous picts or graphics on today's seed packets .. us Gals would gobble them up like candy not just for the seed but for the collecting. It would be awesome if one of the seed companies like the "Ball Anniversary Jars" .. would come out with a remember when collection or something to that effect.

 

Anyhow I hope you enjoy this Seed Pack .. and if you hop on over to the free printables page you can pick up the back side of the packet .. and for your pleasure there are 2 other versions of this packet I have provided for your pleasure !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring has Sprung at Sweet Magnolias Farm

A small but delightful flower garden ..you'll find at Sweet Magnolias Farm...

Tended with rain drops, sunshine, and little else ..

it's Blooms are Beautiful, Bright, and full of many happy smiles !

Welcome ...to our Flower Garden ...

Come and sit a while with us ..and enjoy the warm rays of sunshine ..

Where little lemon kissed flowers dance on their vines and find charming little places to twist and wind ...

Where pink Ruffles are in style ...and

The little wrens await their turn to splish and Splash amongst our many old bird baths ..

The flowers ...of spring are now tumbling over ....

And out there containers ...which contain them no more ..

Where tattered and vintage garden houses find themselves as sweet little backdrops to the blooms that steal the show....

And garden arbors, vintage bicycles and wire stands are entwined into the mix ..

It's a garden of sweet old fashioned charm .. where sweet dreams are dreamed ....And...

All Gods Beauty....

and delicate handiwork is so very amazing ...!

**************************

The garden reminds me of the coming resurrection day ...

The day sweet Jesus was resurrected from the tomb.

Just as so many thought our lord Jesus had been put to death forever ..he was gloriously resurrected .. just as the winter takes it's toll on the garden stripping every bit of life and beauty from it making our hearts long for the day the blooms will return ..Come spring time the garden proves it was there all along and is resurrected. Just as Jesus Spirit fills the garden of our hearts and reminds us he is still here with us ..the beautiful spring garden reminds us that it's spirit was also their all along.

The Beauty of it all is .. the spirit of the Lord is forever ..!

Wishing you all a Joyous Resurrection Day !!!

Spring Time and Going back in Time

It's been an interesting week here at Sweet Magnolias Farm ....

This week Abbey and I have been a bit out in left field ...unable to get really creative in making things ..we opted to work on some different things ..

One was changing the backdrop for our pictures ..and trying to go a bit lighter ..we hope you will enojoy our new look in photos.

The other was digging in some old boxes we've been carrying around for 15 years ..clear back from the days we live in MO ...

We had a few boxes full of vintage linens that we aquired at a farm sale ..Yep 15 yrs ago and had all the best intentions of getting to them but never did ..so this week Abb went through and pulled out some cute aprons and other linens ..washed them and ironed them ..and below are just a few that we have listed either on our website or Etsy this week.

(the 2 aprons above are listed on our website)

OH ..I had to share this great cannister set with you ..found this recently and loved the look of it ..was going to do something creative with them ..then changed my mind as they are great just as they are..so they are now being offered in our Etsy Shop.

And These Two Pretty Pink Sweeties aren't they just lovely ..so perfectly springy and with Easter on it's way ..they would be just charming to hostess in. We've added these 2 to our Etsy shoppe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More Great finds to come ...so stay tuned ...you never know what Abbey and I will be up to ..rather it's hitting some of our favorite haunts for new finds to offer or just digging in some old stashed boxes ...finding treasure right here in the farmhouse.
