Flower Market

This week we spent a few days in Vancouver, British Columbia. We drove to Seattle for a day and visited Pike Place Market. I just loved the beautiful bouquets and cut flowers! They were also reasonably priced, but since we were cross-border shopping, we couldn’t bring the real thing home, so I took lots of photos to enjoy in the coming days when snow flies… 063

Even though these aren't my flowers. I am taking the liberty of flaunting them over at Tootsies anyway.

Oh, Millie... those are magnificent! I love these, and I love every picture. They have some combinations that I wouldn't have thought of which makes me love them more.

A summer ago, I was in charge of the flower arranements for my MIL's 80th which I shared in a post that's up on my blog. If you get a chance, drop by to see them. I directed the florist in another city, and I think he did a very good job. We didn't have peonies (which I wanted) so he used full blown roses which worked well in their place. But I am a peony girl!

These flowers, though, are just amazing. I'm so glad you got their pictures. You always have such gorgeous flowers on your blog which makes it a pleasure to visit you.

XO,

Sheila :-)

Party Day…Our Deck

Image
Rhondi is hosting a porch party, and I am very excited about seeing decks, porches, etc. from many places, encompassing climates and decor of all sorts. We don’t have a porch, so we are welcoming you to our deck today. Please keep our Manitoba climate in mind, as you will notice our summer is just beginning, and plants are not very advanced yet. The afternoon sun is highlighting part of the table, and the rest is shaded by the umbrella. I have set the table in green and white, and because it will just be two of us , it is casual. Before the sun goes down, let’s see what else is on the deck….    another table with some lanterns and plants.. ..a bakers rack which I sprayed light green and which holds green plants.. ..a bench with more of the tropical print…   …and a grouping of potted plants Looking out at the yard, the sun is streaming in from the West. the days are longer now and it is still light….at 8:45… …and now finally night has fallen…it is now 10...
