Flaunting Flowers Aug 28, 2009


Time once again to flaunt our flowers. There is a faint touch of fall in the air, and flowers are getting a bit bedraggled.
Here is a view of our little pond.
Lime green hydrangea, perfect right now...love it!
Double pink petuniasFall mums in copper

More dahlias. They are so prolific!

So head over to Tootsies place, and see more flowers.

What beautiful flowers you have, and I LOVE your pond. I love how natural it looks and how the plants hang over the edges. I also have a pond and just love seeing how other people plant around theirs.

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
