I could try to convince you that this is the iron that I use at the cabin - methinks you're not that gullable - believe it or not, it's an electric iron - Dulux brand - as heavy as all get out - would make an ideal tailor's clapper if one had a solid surface underneath it - at the cabin it's used for a door stop.
The x-stitch is a sampler I made several years ago and had framed it - I decided to remove it from the frame and haven't come up with a better idea for it yet. This photo was taken following a heavy rain that left the petunias looking quite bedraggled - they bounced back quickly and very nicely.
Just look at how tall these daisies are - I'm most impressed with them!

My fella added this weathered old window frame (sans glass) and a window box he made from odds 'n ends of wood to dress up the garden shed at the cabin - I love it. I added some wooden tulips that my late dad made many years ago ...
some days you just have to create your own sunshine

Fun, old iron, different than the ones i see in the antique stores. Love the window box, I really need to do more landscaping and get my yard more organized for nicer spaces.

Love your old Iron and window box , looks a nice place to relax.
I know this kind of iron from when I was a child.My grandmother had such an electric iron and used it, but it truly was very heavy. So it's ideal to be used as a door stop, lol.
It will be interesting to see what you will come up with for the sampler.
Great window frame on the wall of the garden shed. A very lovely sight. And very creative with the wooden tulips.
Wow! When I first saw the photo of the old iron I thought it was the type that you heated on the stove/range...but it's electric. In Australia, Dulux is a brand of house paint.
Your garden is looking lovely and I love the window box with the wooden tulips...how special are they!
Love the addition of the window frame and box to the shed! Well done! Your sampler is pretty. Perhaps a quilted wall hanging as a finish for the sampler. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Love your husbands addition to the garden shed what a perfect place for you Dad's tulips.
Your sampler is gorgeous, you have to show it some how. Anxious to see where.
Oh, I love the window frame idea, Kate! I actually have an old window frame in the basement that I could use for something like that--if I can get my husband on board :)
Looks like you are having a very restful summer!
How lovely to use the wooden tulips made by your Dad from years ago - a lovely family memory.
What a great item to have Kate! I bet it radiated a lot of heat back when it was working... nice decor on the shed, great idea with the window frame x
Your sampler is lovely. You could back it with fabric and use it as a wall hanging. Those daisies are amazingly tall! Love the garden shed idea. Happy week! Xox
The window and tulips are great! So nice to have a man who is handy. =) Your cabin looks so delightful and peaceful - a perfect rest from hustle and bustle.
Cool iron!! My Mom has some but not electric. The cabin is coming along nicely!
Love the window with the tulips!!!
