Croquet Anyone?

I know I promised my husband that I would not junk up our new backyard but...

How could I possibly pass up this cool vintage Abercrombie & Fitch croquet set that I found at a church rummage sale for $20 last Saturday?

Of course I told him I would sell it and he immediately suggested that I take it to our local Abercrombie & Fitch store.

I thought that was a good idea until I cleaned it up and set it on this bench in our sideyard.

I know our yard is completely covered in pea gravel but at the end of our street is a huge greenbelt with long stretches of beautiful green grass!

I think I found the perfect spot for it!
