Spring Flowers- At Last!





While most of blog land has been posting spring flowers for weeks, in Winnipeg, ours are just beginning to bloom.

Millie,
Your flowers are gorgeous. My tulips must be early bloomers because they are all finished for the year. Oh and the lavender that I planted last year did not make it through the winter, I am so sad about that. I will try again, though, I love lavender so much.
Hugs, Cindy S

Hi Millie,
Your blooms are lovely and you probably enjoy them more for having to wait so long or that is what I tell myself!
Have a good weekend,
Carolyn

Millie, these are delightful flowers, and I love your header! It's stunning! Wish I were in Canada. It's getting a little warm here of late. Oh, maybe that's because I live in Florida. No wonder! ;-)

Keep posting flowers to us because our hot season is truly just around the bend. I bet Canada is a paradise in the summer with the blooms.

XO,

Sheila :-)

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
