Hello everyone,
There is a touch of spring in the air here
and with a couple of mild rainy days coming
it should wipe out a lot of snow and I can
soon start looking for signs of life in the garden
again.
I did this garden vignette for a garden tour
several years ago .....back then it seemed like
fun to stage these garden settings but it is looking
a bit more like work to me now! Am I getting older
or just smarter???
Many of you have seen this pic before
as it is also from several years back.
I love these old wicker chairs spray painted
pistachio green. I need to find some more
of that paint as they need to be freshened up.
Relax surrounded by phlox
hydrangeas and roses.
This is also from a few years back
on a beautiful June evening.A
romantic table all set for tea.
Our little enclosed garden at my
favorite time of year (June) with
the Magican Deitiza's in full bloom.
The white metal chairs always look
romantic where ever I place them in
the garden.
Oh! Hammock days....how
better to relax and enjoy
the beauty of nature.
I love those early foggy
mornings in the garden.
And once again we have come to
the end of our garden relaxation
tour but you can always rest on
the old iron bed on the screened
porch for awhile if you would like.
This year we have given up our
garden tour business so maybe we
will have a little more time to relax
while we figure out what we want to
do with the future.....looking forward
to some new adventures!
However, for now it is back to
stripping off 3 layers of old wallpaper
to give a fresh new look to a small
bedroom upstairs.....not as much fun
as gardening but rewarding when it is
done none the less.
I hope you enjoyed my garden
relaxation and once again thank
you for visiting!
Carolyn
Dear Carolyn, I loved your garden Tour! Thank you for sharing these pics from paradise!
ReplyDeleteAll your pics are lovely and relaxing. It's be nice when flowers appear in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour. It brings back memories of years past. I know what you are talking about with moving things to the garden to take photos. I will be 78 in June, and I am trying to get my home organized for the future. I just ordered your book about your cottage by the sea. It will be here in a week. Thank you for your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteJoyously,
Betty
Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about stripping the wallpaper! No fun at all, but such a nice feeling when it's done! I hope you'll still be sharing lots of virtual garden tours with your camera this spring and summer. I have found a lot of inspiration from your images!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, I love stopping by your blog to be inspired by your beautiful garden! I find it brings me peace just to see your lovely photos! Thank you!

You take us to another place in time where everything is so lovely and peaceful. Wish I was there to help strip wallpaper. I have done my share of that in my lifetime and it feels so good when it is done

Me thinks someone is dreaming of summer days! Me too! I always LOVE seeing your wonderful flowers and gardens. I can totally understand letting go of the garden tour business. I was thinking, every time you posted about it, how much work it must be! Keeping up your beautiful gardens and flowers must be a full-time business. I've meant to tell you how much I love your New(ish) header for your blog. Love all the whites and creams. It is so dreamy! I have saved so many of your photos on my Pinterest Boards. A girl can dream can't she? Marilyn
ReplyDeleteYour garden is heartstopping beautiful. I have followed your blog for several years and I can't even begin to tell you how much of an inspiration you have been to me with my own garden. Due to your influence, my garden was on our towns annual Secret Gardens of Guilford tour. Many of the comments were about all of the unexpected vignettes I placed in several areas - all due to your influence. May the future hold only joy and happiness.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, It's just fine with me if you re-share these vignettes from a few years ago -- I enjoy them every bit as much as newer ones. Just throw in a few current garden pictures when you feel like it, and things will still feel au courant. I wish you many opportunities to relax in your beautiful gardens! Best, Beth
ReplyDeleteI live your garden......so beautiful !...happy sunday....love Ria 🍀💚
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,your pictures and posts give me inspiration to get going with my projects!
