Romantic Rose Garden

Hello everyone,

       I want to share some photos with you of our romantic little rose garden .This little garden is at the south end of our little garden cottage so the fragrance fills the little cottage as well as this part of the garden.Most of the roses in here are Therese Bugnet and they form a square border around this little garden. The arbor has a Jackmani Clematis on it but it is not in bloom yet.

The angel statue that I got for Mother's Day has found a home in here.

Behind the angel is a Beautybush that is out in full bloom now along with several roses.

A wider view takes in some of the Walker's Low Nepeta and a spirea.

I think this white iron urn filled mainly with Bacopa adds a touch of romance.

Now,we can take a peek through the screen into the cottage.

Well, now you have seen another part of the garden in full bloom so next week we will do a tour of a different area.

I am joining My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

A Sunny Summer Afternoon Tea

Hello everyone,

     We have been enjoying beautiful sunny weather here and so the next thing you know we will be complaining it is too hot.But for today I wanted to share some photos of an afternoon tea that was held on our veranda today.

I went with a pink theme since the tea was for 11 lovely ladies. 

There are so many beautiful peonies blooming now so I picked some for the table.

I made a fruit pizza with a cookie dough crust. The recipe came from the blog Our Best Bites.There were leftovers that my sister and I really enjoyed this evening.

I put up some curtains to block some sun as it was 29 degrees Celsius today.

Before the curtains went up.

Some of the ladies have arrived. I love the parasol.

It was a birthday party for the lovely lady in the pretty hat above,

A mother and daughter share a moment in the garden. Don't they look pretty in their hats?

I hope you enjoyed a summer afternoon tea also.

I am joining in Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch again.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
