A Hometalk Garden Event

Recently I did a demonstration on how to make my French glazed plant pots and here are the pictures!

Green plants in white pots on table.

At the end of May, I attended a Hometalk Garden Event at Milner Gardens in Langley, BC and did a demonstration on my French Glazed Plant Pots.

I had a fabulous time and I did not puke (in case you read that post and were wondering).

I’ll show you the fabulous event and show you around the incredible gardens!

White tablecloth with blue striping down the middle on a table outside.

Do you remember I made a faux grain sack tablecloth? Well I made one with red stripes back in December. Turns out that after I washed it the paint came off! Thanks to my loyal reader, Chris, for asking the question (will the paint come off if washed?)  Research and development was brought in (namely me) and washed it and turns out you have to use FABRIC paint. Duh. I painted it again with blue fabric paint! Thanks Chris 😉

So anyhoo, that’s the tablecloth I used for my demo booth.

Pots on top of table for demonstration.

I showed the steps involved in how to make my French Glazed Plant Pots and everyone seemed to really love them.

Three pots laid out with a step by step guide.

I made some with funny sayings like ‘Bee Nice’ and ‘I Will Survive’ with my Silhouette Cameo.

Crystal from Sew Creative was next to me. Thanks for keeping me company, Crystal! It was great to get to know you more 😉

Her Pallet Mason Jar Herb Garden created a lot of buzz at the event.

Tara from Suburble was quite popular that day also. She says it was because her booth was next to the cash register but I beg to differ.

I know it was really because of her super cool Nautical Mason Jar Lanterns.

Shelley from Sow and Dipity organized this fabulous event and also works at Milner Gardens.

She’s a ray of sunshine, I tell ya 😉

And her Mini Fairy Gardens were adorable and got a lot of attention that day.

We must be famous because Maryanne from Stimuli magazine was also there!

After the Hometalk Event, Shelley fed us delicious snacks then showed us around the greenhouses in behind Milner.

They supply hanging baskets to Costco (Canada), hello!

The irrigation system is so cool. The baskets move along suspended conveyor belts and get to a point where they are watered.

Genius!

Baskets of flowers hanging by the ceiling in store.

Just another small greenhouse. Not!

Flowers for as long as the eye can see!

White flowers *sigh*

I want to picnic right in the middle of them. Shelley said no.

Baby flowers…aaaahhhh.

Thanks Shelley and Hometalk for throwing such a fabulous event and making us bloggers feel right at home.

Instagram post 2166956522345413863_277411407 Garages aren’t the prettiest to look at but they do so many jobs. #ad Especially when you take your one car garage and turn it into an epic storage/workshop/ studio space! 💪🏻💪🏻 Our house is small and we needed just a bit more square footage for our tools, paint, shoes, an area to do DIY projects (um..instead of the dining room) and a space to store my light boxes for videos and a place for shooting videos. Not asking for too much, are we 🤔🤣 I’m blown away that we actually achieved all those wants/needs PLUS having lots of room to spare!! 😮 You must check out this tour and how you can get everything you need for a garage makeover from @bedbathandbeyondca. And hey, @addquast we lived to tell about it?! Blowing insulation into each wall cavity almost did us in 😂😂😂➡️ Check stories for the direct link. Also in my bio and under the Garage Makeover highlight under my bio 🔨 .

Instagram post 2162794567678539066_277411407 I have been wanting to change up my dining room a bit( a new table perhaps and wall moulding) but I still get questions of where I purchased this set. I bought it locally but found similar on Wayfair. They seem identical online! My chairs have grey fabric and I now can’t find the exact fabric online but the same chair only different fabric. ➡️ Shop this post for the links. http://liketk.it/2Gd1d Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to shop this pic via screenshot #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome
