Hubster and I had dinner for the first time on the patio, we made it special. My preference is to take photos during the day because the lighting is prettier, but I like the way this looks at night too.
This patio has come a long way, I'm very pleased with the simplicity of it. It's not elegant or formal, but I find it very charming....maybe that's why.
This is one of my creations, it's a chandelier made from a turkey feeder. I do seem to have a strange fixation on farm feeders, perhaps because I love anything Farmhouse related.
Over the years, I've made and sold dozens of these at shoppe, but this one is just for 5th Place!
The greenery is from a tree in the back yard that needed trimming. Can it get more simple....or lovely?
These are my favorite new arrival at the store. A bud vase and place card holder in one. I love the fluted ribbed glass....aren't they simple and pretty? They would be lovely for a wedding, don't you think?

I am definitely crushing on that chandelier! I have a chicken feeder in my garden but I don't think it has the same impact that your TURKEY feeder has!
Such a lovely transformation you've done on that patio-must be a treat to eat there!

Your turkey feeder light fixture is a brilliant idea! It looks so lovely! It makes me smile to think about what my former farmer grandparents would think about such a thing. :)
love EVERYTHING about it!
the chandelier, the slipcovers, & of course having dinner on the patio is always a fave!!!
it is all charming & beautiful!
Hi. I like this turkey feeder lamp. That is a very creative idea. The room and table look very charming.
Greetings, Johanna
Gorgeous! And I love that you took the photos at night. It looks so romantic!
I love the light and the slipcovers!
Only you would come up with the idea of turning a turkey feeder into a chandelier! I think it is great. What a creative lady you are and the porch is so lovely.
Hugs,

I LOVE this. We have a chicken feeder that I was about to toss out. Now I know what to do with it! Thank YOu!!How did you do it?
What a beautiful patio! I would so enjoy dinner there. Now, where can I find some type of feeder?
Oh I love this! So glad I went back over old posts I missed this week! Really beautiful, what a special place to have dinner. That turkey feeder chandi is sooo cool, love it, I can see why you've sold so many. I was tooooooo busy to play along on Rescue Crew Review this week but will definitely be ready next time! Theresa
Gorgeous, it has a real 'effortless elegance' feel!
Hello LaurieAnna! I have visited your blog off and on through Cherry Hill Cottage but decided to finally become a follower. What a LOVELY Blog you have! I want to thank you for showing a picture of your chicken/turkey feeder lantern. We moved to our little 5 acre farm in the middle of no-where (we love it!) with it's little cottage farmhouse last June. At one time years ago it was a chicken growing operation and we have a barn load of old chicken feeders that I've been wondering what to do with. I thought of a feeder and got my hubby to put holes in the bottom of one but I LOVE what you did with yours! I'm thinking that this would make the perfect light for the screened in porch Mr Fixit plans to build on later this summer. THANK YOU so much for the inspiration! I love your little cottage and what you've done with it and I'm looking forward to reading your archives. I hope you have a wonderful day....Maura :)
