Thanks Michelle, you are welcome to hang with me in the solar gazebo anytime...providing we first neutralize every chigger and mosquito within a mile radius. Now, if I could rig my house with solar....
Come hang out with us as we turn our mid-century cottage (and its poor, sad yard) into a magical Neverland. We are the quintessential DIYs - working paycheck to paycheck and weekend to weekend. We started the transformation in May of 2006 and started blogging in 2009. Our family lives and loves in Austin, TX. Y'all come on by!
What IS Wabi-Sabi, you ask?
Hard to explain, really. Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese term, obviously. It's been semi-mainstreamed by the American gardening and decorating industry. In a nutshell it means - an appreciation for that which is not perfect. Finding beauty in something old and rusty is wabi-sabi. Picking something up off the side of the road and using it in a new way is wabi-sabi. Making do with what you have is wabi-sabi. It's a lovely concept that describes me and my house and my yard perfectly: appreciated, loved and perfect in our own imperfect way.

This is a great idea and I love it. You and your friend can come to decorate the new house I hope to build next year.

I love this. It's the perfect height for little, littles.
