Looking Back...and Forward

During these cold winter days we start looking back on some lovely flowers we have seen, and ahead to the time when we can again enjoy greenery and blooms around us.
I looked back to the photos of last year's Orchid Show here in Winnipeg and remember how lovely the conservatory at Assiniboine Park was, as society members and others transformed it into a tropical scene.
We usually stop by Everspring Orchids and purchase a plant or two. Orchids stay in bloom for a very long time.

Oh, Millie, those flowers are gorgeous, and makes one dream of warm spring days!
Zach's daddy is a Philadelphia Flyers fan actually but because he lives in Vancouver, he also cheers for the Canucks. Thanks for your visit and your lovely comments. Enjoy your day.

Blessings,
Sandi

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
