Hope of Spring!

With a few days of warm sunshine
the ground breaks forth in
song...wild flower song.

There are even little show offs in nature...

Look at me I can do purple!

Just went out to burn a few things
on the burn pile because it's a
nice sunny day with no wind.

I saw the flowers and said,
wait there while I go get my camera.
Perfect for

Cure for Cabin Fever...

Sometimes you just have to put those
hiking boots on
and head outdoors.

Victorian Trading Company

Air out those vintage garments...
for a bit of fresh woodsy fragrance.

Take your lover by the hand and lead
him to the river for a romantic
retreat by the river.

Dreamin' in my lacy socks
of Spring days
that are just around
the corner.

Coming or Going

Whether you are coming or going
through the network of kindred spirits
here in blogland,

Whether you are sitting at the window
looking outward for a kind visitor's smile,

Victorian Details Tips & Projects
or standing at your door,
hoping to catch a glimpse of someone
coming up the walk...

A Royal Affair

The purple mist is in full bloom and the butterflies
are putting on quite a show. Monarchs, Queens,
Red Admirals, and a host of small winged creatures
are in court to honor the occasion.

The Red Admiral sports bars of red across its shoulders.

The monarch is loading up for its migration down
into Mexico where it spends the winter.

Clay pots have been on my list all summer in order
to build another tower. Had the big
one for the bottom and recently found these
three for $2 each at a garage sale. What a
great deal...already loaded with dirt!

Can't wait for the morning glories and
moss rose to put on a show.

My Texas garden has come alive with
the cooler temps and refreshing rains.While out in the garden I didn't forget about
WHITE WEDNESDAY
as I captured these shots.
Fall...a great time to be outdoors and
A Southern Daydreamer is the place to
show off whatever is in your corner of
the globe.

Tis the season for reds and more is
popping out at It's A Very Cherry World!

Faded Charm is a place to visit if white,
chippy, vintage, fade charm is your thing.
And with the reds of the season,
the soft white glow of candles
are a wonderful accent.

Hope you gals have a great day!

It's All About Rust

As you know anything metal when left out in the elements turns a wonderful vintage shade of rust. And for reasons I can't explain, I love that look. So today I am showing some of my rusty things and a few that belong to other lovers of rust. So first off, I'd like to welcome you to the garden, pull up a rusty WHITE WEDNESDAY chair and enjoy this little tour.

Faded Charm has a giveaway on her post today.

or maybe a bench you would prefer...
next to the REDNESDAY flowers.Must be the season...she's having a giveaway too!

Or how 'bout a bed? A bottle bed. Not sure what Goldilocks would have to say about this one. I worked all day on this area. Pulling grass, planting a few new things. Next spring they will look great but right now...pretty sad. I exchanged with a neighbor, some wandering purple plants for some taller purple bloomers. Also gathered more rocks for the border and extended the walkway, making it wider.

Just got this stove at the Fredericksburg Flea Market for $5. The sewing machine I found in a dumpster. Yes, I am a dumpster diver if the moment is right! How do you like the 'bottle quilt'? And for those odds and ends pieces, I just hang 'em on
a cedar stump.

Thanks for stopping by and remember there
are more places to visit...always more places.

Wednesday MEME Inside and Out

Vintage roses painted on trays and canvas. Roses on fabric, cards, and magazines. Pink ones, peach and yellow petals, and red red roses. They do touch something deep in my soul. Each one of these photos are full of delicious details, I do hope you click to enlarge for the full effect.

Sunset Garden Style Decorating-January 2001

We are still getting some much needed rain but
the weekend is promising to be beautiful.
Time to get out and blow off the falling leaves
and fluff the pillows.

Thank you all for showering me with
warm BD wishes and making me
feel special.

I hope each one of you have a
special moment today that
touches your soul.
