FLAUNTING MY FLOWERS – OCT. 15, 2010

002 

I had no idea I would have any flowers to show this week…we are having an unusual fall season. After an abundance of rain this last summer, and then a light frost, we had lovely warm weather followed by cool sunny days. I am so happy I didn’t rush to pull up the annuals as some , like the petunias, are nicer now than they were all summer.  003 026

There are many more flowers to see at Tootsie’s place, and thanks Tootsie, for hosting again.

Beautiful flowers Millie! I love the pinks/purples together. Today is our coolest day yet here in Georgia. I still have a few roses, black-eyed Susans, and Balloon flowers. That first photo with the reflection is so pretty. Have a good weekend.

Oooooh, those are GORGEOUS, Millie! Isn't it great to have flowers this late in the season and blooming in abundance???

We've had a tiny bit of cooling off, but the weather is generally in the 80's.

XO,

Sheila :-)

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
