Cottage Garden vs. American Farmhouse Garden

Moving from cottage garden to historic American Farmhouse architecture garden has, in less than 2 weeks, taught much.
.
One lesson, after moving team finished near midnight, was apparent at first light.
.
Cottage garden accouterments, though loved & used for decades, are not at home in their new garden.  In fact, they are cringe inducing.  Go me not knowing this, indeed.

that is probably the back door, but I like it as a front door too!    Gil Schafer in The Great American House via Velvet and Linen

Yesterday I had unexpected resources in Beloved's team of men & trucks.
.
Pallets were loaded with 'keepers' and Beloved moved them with his Caterpillar under an old oak, no weeds/grass, near a fence line, trucks were loaded & driven to Goodwill.
.
Wish I had not moved the cottage garden accouterments here.  Yet, if anyone had said at the front end, 'Don't take your entire cottage garden', I would have scoffed, and moved everything anyway.
.
What a difference daylight makes.
