Mary, Mary, quite contrary...how does your garden grow? After a night at the Women's Ag Banquet I hope it grows JUNKY!!!
Recently the JunkFest girls were honored to have the opportunity to present to a group of Ag women about Curbless Appeal. We threw out a personal challenge to each and every one of these winter-weary-spring-craving women (and to ourselves too!) to think
"outside the box"
this year when decorating the yard and garden.
With what you ask? Well, DUH. Junk of course! Dat's what it's all about!!
(teeny disclaimer about the below pic, I'm on the left and purposely cropped 4" off my a$$ sweater, and just in case you think I've "got it all together"...I'm wearing two different socks!)
I do hope my presentation and ideas weren't too corny.
I DO have a tendency to REPEAT myself!
We put out a bit of a display and had a slide show of many junky garden idea pictures to "feed the brains" of the gals in attendance.
Our goal: INSPIRE
Cassie was unable to attend because she was in TX at the gosh dern best flea market ever! But she worked like a trooper getting things gathered and ready for the displays, and put together some SaWeet doorprizes!
Lynette did a great job getting the display up and running for the event! And answered some Q & A afterwards!
And here I am! showing a slide show and throwing out a few ideas along the way. (Like telling the farm wives to RAID their husband's shops as soon as he get out to the field! No, really! I totally mean it...there's awesome stuff out there! Be sneaky-wink, wink.) Of course I came prepared with notes, but as I expected, forgot to use them! Hey, it's just how I roll!!
I hope my presentation and ideas weren't too corny!
I DO have a tendency to REPEAT myself!
Now, before we give you just a "taste" of the ideas we threw out there...I want to give a SHOUT OUT to some fabulous gals. They let us use their pictures and one thing I can tell you...
You MUST go to their blogs, and while you're there...dig back through the posts. You won't be dissappointed, I gaurantee it!! These gals are crazy talented!

Hat's off to a great presentation and continuing to inspire our community with the love of junk!
