Welcome Spring!

                                                              ~ Welcome Spring ~

                        It is such a delight to welcome spring this year as we had a long winter
                        with more snow and colder temps then the past few years. So, to welcome
                        spring, let's celebrate with a pretty spring time luncheon!
           

                Don't you just adore these beautiful Spode Copeland 'Maritime Rose' dishes?

                                   These hydrangeas are faux but pretty none the less and a
                                   perfect match with the setting today.

                                         A new hat for spring ~ thank you Janice! It is perfect for my
                                        spring celebration........although I might have to wait a few
                                        weeks to wear it unless it looks good with mittens! Our temps
                                       still haven't reached the spring level yet.

                                      This old transferware platter speaks of spring time too.

                                               I am loving these spring time colors!

                                                              Soft and sweet!

                 Hope you enjoyed this spring celebration and may you be blessed with
                             all the joys of the season!

                              I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday today.

                            If you  love these dishes too they are available at Time Worn Treasures
                            and Antiques on the St. Peter's Rd. Charlottetown.

                                                                          Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                                     Carolyn

Garden Tour Past & Present

                                                                     Hello everyone,

                I hope you enjoyed your last weekend of winter. It was a wintry one here but spring is
                on the way! I am continuing on with our garden tour today with more of my favorite
               garden shots.

                                 Foxglove,shaska daisies and blue campanula with nepata at the
                                 bottom.

                                 I do love tucking statues into the various garden rooms.

                                    Hydrangea in foreground on a misty morning.

                                                        A garden bench to sit and enjoy!

                                       The pink fairy rose is one of my favorites.

                                             And this is my favorite gardener!!!

                                               Phlox ,sedum and beebalm on the right.

                                       Constance Spry is another beautiful rose with a clematis in the
                                      background ~ good companions.

                                   Our hillside garden in August with daylillies and coneflowers.

                                Now for a little reality check......our garden a few days ago,
                                after several cm. of snow and then freezing rain.
                             

              I couldn't leave you in the cold so I had to end with a pleasant
                         summer evening shot to dream on.

                        If you would like to enjoy beautiful garden photos you can
                        check out my gardens pinboard here.

                                                  Thank you for all your sweet comments on my
                                                  last post.   The clematis on the old birdhouse
                                                  is Ville de Lyon for those who asked.

                                                            Hope you have a good day!
