Hello everyone,
I am glad you stopped in so we can have lunch surrounded by the splendor in Martha's Garden(Martha is the elegant statue that presides over this garden room). This is my favorite time of year in here.
So come on in!
I have the table set in white today too.
The four beautiful white shrubs are Deutiza, the' Magican' and they do make it magical in here don't you think?
This garden is enclosed on all sides giving it a secret garden atmosphere.I enjoy the sound of the water fountain and of course the birds too.This little finch sure can sing!
We can linger over tea.
Little details.
I love hats and enjoy wearing them in the summer-perfect for my many bad hair days!
We have five tours from Japan in the next few days so I will have lots to show them when they come as the garden is coming on fast.
I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday today , A Delightsome Life for Home & Garden Thursday and The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home.
Also joining The Rose Garden in Malevik for the Midsummer Party and French Country Cottagee for Feathered Nest Friday.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Carolyn
Gorgeous--love all the white! So soothing and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful and elegant. Like you, I adore my hats and it just wouldn't be summer in the garden without them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and peaceful post!
Such a beautiful spot. Thanks for inviting me in! Your guests from Japan are going to be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteI hope YOU have a lovely day, too, Carolyn. Your white outdoor room is serene and peaceful....a most charming place to relax and enjoy Martha. Susan p.s. If I ever saw a statue like her, I'd snatch it up in an instant.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous, Carolyn! I love those white bushes. This garden area gives the impression of coolness, especially with a fountain.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThat statue was made locally here on Prince Edward Island from J&L in Albany.
Thanks for your nice comments everyone.

ReplyDeleteCarolyn! I am absolutely in love with your garden! Every time you post I hurry to see more of your beautiful pictures! I aspire my garden to be like yours some day. We moved to our home five summers ago so I have a long way to go, but do you have any advice or tips you could pass my way? Thanks so much! Keep the inspiration coming, you are so very talented! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend,

I am so in love with this garden! If you have time sometime, I would really love a post where you identify more of the plants in your gardens. For example, the second photo in this post is just full of gorgeous bounty. I'd love to know what some of these plants are. Thank you for identifying the Deutiza, I've never seen it and it's beautiful!
