Couldn't get enough? Good, there's so much more!

This is going to be a photofest of the garden that I visited with my friend Janine who has a cool blog called Laguna Dirt. Check out my last post so that you're up to speed!

Like I said, around every corner, and in every nook & cranny there were such cool vintage, flea market finds. Each treasure added so much to Mark and Cindy Evan's garden, highlighting their cool aesthetic. We had a hard time keeping our jaws off the ground, and not gushing at every detail!

The front door. I love how it's ajar, just waiting to welcome friends!

Vintage Mexican folk art horse

I don't think that I could pick one favorite detail. Each item adds so much to this whimsical garden.

I adore the mix of Mexicana with the religious icons

Can you ever have too many donkeys pulling carts? No way!

I think I would pot lots of plants in this potting shed!

Who's that knocking on the door?

Oh, and there is the sweetest courtyard off the kitchen and living room, the tile and fountain are all original to this 1920's casa. It's almost too much for me to take!

Frogs with sombreros, of course!

The perfect sunny spot for the Virgin Mary

Very inviting... iced tea, please.

I'll be dreaming about this garden from now on, and thinking of ways I can infuse creativity into my own garden.

Cool art, too!

 Can picture yourself sun worshipping on this bench? Ah...

I could easily spend another few hours in the Evans' garden, taking pictures and admiring what they've done. It truly is a work of art!

Mexican themed Laguna garden

My friend Janine Robinson has a great garden blog called Laguna Dirt. In her quest for cool gardens around town, I thought I'd introduce her to some friends. I knew she would love Mark and Cindy Evans' amazing garden. So we went by one day, and Cindy just happened to be out tending her garden. We asked if it would be ok if we could come back with a camera so that Janine could take some pics. And after chatting for awhile, and us drooling over all of their wonderful vintage finds, she agreed!

What's behind the gate?

 A few days later, I tagged along when Janine went back to take lots of shots of the garden and to talk to Mark and Cindy a little about their space. Their garden is the stuff of myths. Every inch, and around every corner are wonderful vintage Mexican and religious themed statues and trinkets that leave you feeling nostalgic, and very lucky to be in their space. Sheer bliss.

It's all about the details in this garden.

Aren't those flamingos fabulous?

We stayed for hours! Wandering around and through their large garden, following paths that lead to patios and sun drenched nooks. Everywhere you looked were more cool flea market treasures. 

The colors and textures made this garden so interesting!

Adorable donkey with cacti

Cindy's dad made this St. Francis of Assisi for her, per her instructions

Very cool, right?

A sleeping deck off the main house, the bed is behind the closed blinds on the right.

This Mamasita and her piglets guard the front window

More to drool over

Another Mamasita

Cindy's dad also made this cigar smoking dude.

I have so many more pics to share! I'll have to do another post...
