Early Spring on the Porch

Last week I did a little styling on

our north facing porch.

I got some pretty new fabric at

a local thrift store and thought it

would give a bright cheerful look

to our old wicker furniture.

I changed the table here to give a

little more space.

It is still a work in progress

as it is still too early to put

out my annuals in planters.

I bought a new Sweet Autumn Clematis to plant

by the right post and since they usually grow

fast I am hoping to have some color growing up

the post soon.

A teacup is waiting for you!

                                                          This little dog toothed violet
                                                                     is blooming in the garden now.

                                                                      Hope to show you our little porch
                                                                     later in the season when it is surrounded
                                                                     by lush growth as the hydrangeas etc.
                                                                     bloom.

Tea in the Sunroom

   Hello everyone,

Spring is a perfect time to have 

afternoon tea in our little sunroom.

When the temperature is a little

      cool out in the garden the sunroom

is the next best place.

It is still to early to put my annuals

out so they are enjoying the shelter

of our sunroom.

I love birdhouses and am always

on the lookout for a unique one.

I gave the sunroom a touch up

of fresh paint.

                                                                       A pretty bouquet from the garden
                                                                       was my inspiration for my china
                                                                        today......I love the apricot roses
                                                                        on the teapot and teacups.

                                                     It was a cool damp day here today
                                                                so I took a break from gardening
                                                                ...... but I am happy to say there are
                                                                warm sunny days on the way starting
                                                                tomorrow so I can don my gardening
                                                                clothes once again.
                                                                                 Thank you for visiting!
