My Sink Garden on American Pickers TONIGHT!



 Normally I wouldn't bother you on the day before Thanksgiving! I KNOW how busy you are working, shopping,cooking, baking, house cleaning, maybe even traveling to see your loved ones as I type this announcement! But, on the outside chance you'll be  sitting near a TV tonight at 9:00 PM ( hopefully with your feet up ) watching a new episode of American Pickers I wanted you to be on the lookout for my sink garden! Its made a few appearances on my blog and Facebook page over the last couple of years but it's hit the big time and its supposed be featured among some other " still photos" on tonight's episode of American Pickers on the History Channel! How did this happen? Does my garden sink have an agent? Nah, I wrote a guest post about up cycled garden containers for my dear blogging friend (Sonya Kanelstrand who blogs all the way from Norway ) of Kanelstrand Blog last June and the visual editor for American Pickers came across it and asked Sonya if they could feature it. Sonya sent them my  via email and I gave them the go ahead to show it!


Now, that being said.. I suppose it's possible they will have their fill of photos to use and my little sink garden could get kicked to the curb, but just in case you know where I'll be tonight!
 Keep up that creative blogging you all do so well cuz ya just never know were your own sink garden will end up!

Gratitude


Dear friends,
The Thanksgiving holiday is almost underway! Before you know it we'll be sitting round the table with our loved ones eating delicious roasted turkey with all the fixin's with laughter all around us.
The sound of children and adults mingling together makes a lovely song on Thanksgiving day and reminds us all we have so much to be grateful for.

It's not how much we have but what we do with what we do with what we have that counts. I've always believed that. Life will always have it's ups and downs. Times of plenty and times of pennies will come and go but you can always have love and a grateful heart. That costs nothing! 

As for this little ole blogger, I'm so thankful that I have all of you to share with and be inspired by all year round! Aren't we a lucky bunch?

From our table to yours we wish you all a very Happy and bountiful Thanksgiving!

 The Dandelion House Crew,

Who's coming by for leftovers this weekend?
