Shipshewana, Indiana.......

 This photos are from a couple years ago . This is Amish country, Middlebury, Nappanee, and a few other little towns. This is the flea market in Shipshewana.
I would love to have about 10-20 of these baskets to hang around here. LOL   All of them are pretty. I have had some beautiful hanging baskets but they were never as big as this one hanging by the tent pole. Wow wee !!  It is still a bit chilly to be planting anything around here, but in a couple days , things will be warming up. Took Spring forever to get here and it keeps slipping . Soon it will be just right. I should just go ahead and get my flowers and pot them and keep them in the garage till I can put them out. ;):)  Wishing all of you a great day.  xo

  5. That's so pretty! I'd love to have them too! It tends to be too hot due to the direction my house faces, but I should try again.

    1. The front of my house faces south which can supper hot in summer... Of course that where I'd like color too. So I have to put things in the shade or water lots. So I use burgundy and little green shrubs to get some color too. It's trial and error for me.LOL. xoxo,Susie

    1. Debbie, I brought my plant from my daughter in the house last night. I Knew the pansies could take the cold, so they stayed out. I do not blame you for bring in the wonderful window boxes of yours. Some times the town of Shipshewana, is better than the flea market..Lots of China junk at the flea. Hope you have a beautiful weekend, xoxo,Susie

    1. Missy, I like that the Amish really take care of their farms. All of them work hard. Well I guess you know exactly what I am saying. You can get fresh produce and flowers too. xoxo,Susie

  11. Those flowers are breathtaking! I would love to have about 10 of those baskets here too. We've had some cooler temps, however, it seems the heat is approaching.
