We are getting some rain here today and
the garden is looking so lush now. The beds
are really starting to fill now.
All around the Island apple trees are in
blossom and the lilacs are coming
into bloom as well as azaleas...
such a pretty time of the year!
I am sharing a few bouquets with
you today. I love the pitcher in the
one above. I bought it in Florida a
few years ago..

Maine.

rain stops I can finally pick my first bouquet of the
season.
The old teapot was a yardsale find as
well as the teacup.
I am so happy to be able to pick flowers from the
garden again for little bouquets around the house.
Now, onto the second part of my post. I wanted to inform
my Island readers of an upcoming free Oshibana ~ Japanese
pressed flower show that is being held at the Town Hall in
Stratford from June 14 to 16 from 9 a.m to 4 p.m.
A work shop will be held on Sunday June 15.

of 40 student artists whose work of 100 pieces
will be on display.

gave us a copy of his beautiful book.
He also gave us this beautiful photo with dried pansies
made from a photo he took in our guest room upstairs.
On the bedside table was a photo of our Lucas and the
covered dish and bowl which he used for the pansies and
brought it back to us a few weeks later from Japan.

I can only imagine how stunning your gardens are now. Wonderful to see what you share, but a stroll through would be so nice! Your Florida vase is just gorgeous. Happy weekend! Seems you have some lovely things planned.
Carolyn, I am looking forward to seeing all your posts of your beautiful gardens this summer. I hope to one day to visit your island. In a previous post, you gave a website on your tours but I didn't write it down. Would you mind giving me the information? Thank you, Pam
How lush everything is looking today. I'm sure the trees and flowers are enjoying their drink. I'm looking forward to lilac bouquets too. As always, your blog is a pleasure to visit.
Blessings,

You must feel like you're living in heaven with your gardens in bloom! The pressed flower photos are stunning and you always have the prettiest collection of floral arrangements!
Beautiful and also exciting news, Carolyn! I will be praying for good weather for his trip to see your lovely gardens.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for the beauty that you so consistently share. Today, I particularly love your photo of pink carnations in the purple polka dot containers. And what a lovely piece of art your guest made from your photo. The flowers leap right out of the image.
Blessings, grace-filled one,

Dear Carolyn,
I finally found some time to visit blogs :-). I came back from England Monday evening and since then it's been busy. I am happy to read you are enjoying your garden! The lilacs look beautiful. The exhibition sounds interesting. I hope you will get lots of visitors.
Wishing you a happy weekend!

Just loved the bouquets of flowers and their containers, Carolyn. Susan
I haven't been to visit for a little while, and have missed all the beauty here at your blog! I love your vase from Florida, and the lavender polka dot one too. The lilacs are absolutely beautiful!
Thank You for sharing your bouquet of flowers and the different arrangements as well. They are stunningly beautiful and how they beautify the place are just amazingly remarkable. Great work!
Such lovely bouquets!

Hi Carolyn,
I bet your garden is extremely surprising. Your lilacs are so beautiful especially when placed on those adorable teapots. Will be checking on your blog more often.
Hi Carolyn, It would be helpfull and amazing, if you could kindly, if you know the names of them, write the names of the nice roses you put in the vase.
A lot of nice gardening and plants in your great garden!
