Great finds here, that wrought iron basket is really neat. I love glass knobs on old dressers, on ebay you can find just about any color in the depression glass ones. You had asked about climbing roses. I love David Austin roses and if you go to their website they have alot of info there. All of the climbing roses that I have I've had to train them, as they start to grow just tie them with string and they will follow wherever you want them to go. If you don't want them to grow taller than your 3 foot fence then you can just cut them back and that will make them get fuller.<br />I hope that helps.<br />Bless you, Shirl<br />Shirls Rose CottageShirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916361019368200114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-48614787924116841982009-06-23T08:56:04.189-05:002009-06-23T08:56:04.189-05:00Jane: Thank you so much for your kind and support...Jane: Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment on my "letting go" delimma!

My mother did a similar project like that and it turned out wonderful.<br /><br />About the knobs, I'm of no help here as I have knobphobia. Everytime I run to Restoration Hardware or Lowes and Home Depot, I am overwhelmed by the choices. I turn into a simpleton. Do I want glass knobs, black arts and craftsman, brushed nickel....see what I mean? LOL! Cindy is right, Hobby Lobby has a great selection.<br /><br />I hope I don't have any nightmares about Monster Fern...hee hee hee!<br /><br />Deanna :DDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290423239878428526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-12498877255850280302009-06-20T12:27:39.984-05:002009-06-20T12:27:39.984-05:00Hey sweet lady ~ Just wanted to tell you how much ...Hey sweet lady ~ Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your stopping by and leaving the sweetest comments for me.

You are in a far better position now. <br /><br />I like the idea of shabifying (is that a word? I don't think so) the basket. It will make a great centerpiece on a dinning room table or coffee table. Fill it with silk hydrangea... or fake fruit... What about ornaments at Christmas and little gourds in the fall? I can see lots of uses there!<br /><br />Keep the pulls for your cabinet but change them out with something vintage. The glass idea would be gorgeous! Either way it is a lovely piece and I agree the wood is beautiful. <br /><br />Have a great weekend! <br />~LizAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02972097935004547969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-73431569513881216602009-06-20T08:08:40.270-05:002009-06-20T08:08:40.270-05:00June 20th...
