The Garden–August 23, 2013

The weather this year has been quite good for gardening.This is a general view of the flower bed. I planted it in a rather random fashion.

I like this combination in a pot…shades of yellow and lime green…endless summer hydrangea in another pot, just peeking into the photo.

I love the combination of colors in your garden, the pinks in front going into violets at the back, so subtle and feminine. They are plants not seen here, although of course i know and love them.

What a beautiful flower bed you have, Millie! Love the pinks and your nice green lawn. Things are very dry here and the garden is looking a bit tired.

The grass is green and vibrant looking, and I think your pretty flower garden looks like a tapestry weaving.

Hi Millie! Oh, your gardens are just gorgeous! I love all of the soft colors and how they are like a carpet of flowers. I do believe you must have a green thumb! Thank you so much for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

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
