You'll be surprised how much FREE stuff you'll get..
Plants, stone, furniture, wood, windows, iron, leftover paint, light fixtures, & etc..... What?

Shipman said, "Take the windows I have", after I described the conservatory I want to build.

Harbor an attitude of FREE. It works.

Shipman & I heard Fergus Garrett of Great Dixter at Atlanta Botanical Garden recently. Afterward we shared a bottle of champagne & selection of appetizers & deserts at www.EmpireStateSouth.com. Newly opened in downtown Atlanta, it's a Hugh Acheson restaurant. His other, 5&10, in Athens, GA is the top rated in the state.

Fergus, ABG, Champagne, Shipman, & FREE WINDOWS........a Cinderella evening for this garden girl.

Don't know Fergus Garrett or Great Dixter...........Christo????? Ok poppets, I'll fill you in tomorrow!

Shipman rescued the circa 1940 windows, above, months ago from a huge dumpster as a nearby home was renovated. If I don't use all of them they will go to Susanne Hudson's barn......
Those windows are fantastic looking. Please show pictures of the conservatory when it's completed.
ReplyDeleteI have to learn this! The art of getting things free.

When we purchased our 1880's Second Empire house a few years ago, the beautiful old windows had just been replaced, booooo! But I noticed all the old ones in the garage. Making sure that they knew that I wanted them, we purchased the house. Some of them are amazing, over 6 feet tall with arched tops, those were the ones used in the three bay windows. One day, we will have a conservatory as well.
ReplyDeleteAll the old windows from my house are in my basement- You must post pics when you are done with your conservatory! I would love the project inspiration!
