A Touch of Loveliness


Yesterday we attended the Winnipeg Orchid Show, and I came away with a lovely pink splotched orchid...
something to lighten the days while we wait for spring weather.

Hi Millie,
Glad you got to spend some time away from the cold in Canada. It's more like Spring today but we're going to receive some more nastiness tomorrow; or so they are forecasting. Your orchid is wonderful! Have a great week.

Blessings,
Sandi

Hi Millie! It's so fun to met a fellow faux florist! Thanks so much for stopping by. It does my heart good to know my work room isn't alone in it's craziness! LOL!

I would love to see some of your creations. I'll be back to see what you show us!

Ohhhh! That is beautiful! I've bought my husband several orchids for different gift giving occasions (he's so hard to buy for!) and he has really taken good care of them! So many wonderful varieties to choose from~but I've never seen one like that!

The Soft Colours of Summer

Image
I love hydrangeas, and although we can grow the Limelight and Annabelle varieties fairly easily here in Manitoba, it is only recently that with some luck, we can overwinter Endless Summer. Endless Summer blooms in pink in our lime soil, unless we feed it with copper sulphate to bring out the blue . Last week, after a rainstorm, I noticed how soft and pretty the colours were. I am joining in with Monday Mosaics at Mary's. What lovely contributions we find over there every week, and thanks, Mary! *****Click on the photo to enlarge*****

Victoria…and Me

Image
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
