I have wanted a windmill for some time now. One of those items I always had hoped to find. I even tried to buy one out of someone’s yard once.
And then, someone suggested to look of all places – Amazon.com – and I did.
And it was reasonably priced and shipping was free.
And I am in love.
And I can see it each morning from my bedroom window and it makes me smile.
You know how you name a car – I feel like this windmill needs a name.
Any suggestions?
Not sure if it is a boy or a girl?
I have 2 windmills on our property….they are all rusty now & looking good!
Windmills have always been a a favorite of mine!
Wish I had a HUGE farm type one!!!

i’m smitten with your new find – This has been on my to do list for a LONG time too – I think I want an older rustier chippier version & have been holding out but I might just have to break down and follow your link – thanks for sharing! name – ahhhh maybe Rosie or Ruby?
How about Windy the Windmill… its so pretty
Fergie is a great name! xo
How about Wendy?
Laura,
I think your windmill has a grace and elegance to it and could be seen as female. I would call her Flo.
My wife names her cars, the last one was Bessie and this one is Lulabelle.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind for a girl is “Windy” and “Windston” for a boy. Enjoy your new treasure!
Nice! Glad you are enjoying it! Names? How about “Windy”, “Windamere”, “Winsome”, “Windola”, or “Breezy”? I could go on, but got to go pick figs! haha
Why don’t you call her “Wendy” get it??? (windy).
I love it. It’s a darling addition to your yard.
I love your windmill! The people that live behind us have a great big one and it is one of the things that sold me on our house! It just made me happy to look out at it!!
She looks just like “Shirley Whirley” or “Swirl” for short!!
If it’s a girl how about Wendy?
So glad to meet a Jersey gal at Haven! Glad to call you a friend.
Scarlet – naturally! From Gone with the Wind. Now I need a windmill – who knew!

I’m sticking with ‘Scarlett’ in honor of your trip to Atlanta.
One of her famous lines from the movie was:
“YANKEES! Why, who let Yankees in Atlanta?” hee!hee!

“Shirley Whirley”??? LOL!!…now I am going to have that in my head forever…
Now I think the beautiful windmill should be called , “Milly”…love “Milly”….such a simple name, yet beautiful…I think of the movie, “Thoroughly Modern Milly”…..
Now I know I spelled Modern Milly’s name wrong…should be Millie…but I love “Milly” obviously for “windmill”…but “Millie” is great too!!
Love the windmill. I am from Batavia, IL which is known as Windmill City because it was home to 5 windmill manufacturers. They have long since ceased production, but the beautiful limestone factories are now part of our downtown art/civic scene. Love the new look on your blog!
