Cottage Style Party & Garden Scenes

Since we haven't traipsed through the garden in a few weeks, let's take a look, shall we?

Daylilies are just starting to flower.

The hanging baskets are still looking good tho I need to fertilize soon to keep them that way.

This rose is new this year and I caught it on its way out.

More rose pics to follow as the rose season is just starting!

Barely caught this busy bee enjoying the lambs ear.

A spider lily flower.

This years ugly duckling steps are covered in lavender colored impatiens.

Here's last years version.

A pink zinnia leans out to find the sun.

This pink coneflower was new late last years, a bargain from Home Depot.

I love how this flower opens!

These native day lilies are over 4 feet tall this year.

(What long cold winter, we loved it!)

This veronica was knocked back a bit after winter but is finally flowering.

Another new rose in my garden this year.
Just starting to open…can't wait!

I love the round shape of this daylily!

One of the sunflower seeds that grew and escaped the birds and squirrels.

Another new rose that I think is supposed to change colors as it matures.
We will see...

After years of looking at my Grandparents table and chairs painted yellow, brown, then black, I took this set back to a bright, cheery color!
Another spray paint job!

Click this link to see the boring black they have been painted the last 10 years.
Better yet, don't bother and just admire the French lilac color they are now.
I love it!

This is such an inviting setting!
I just want to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea!
Don't you?



This pretty setting wasn't always all soothing blues and greens. Stop by Jody's blog Southern Seazons to see the original color palette of this setting and for details of this pretty porch!






This little shelf is so sweet in Cathy's kitchen!
I love all the vintage dishes on it!



You won't believe the color it was painted when she found it. Visit Cathy's blog My 1929 Charmer to see the original color of this vintage shelf and details of her wonderful update!






I love this home made *summer* banner in Carol's backyard.
And she made it from scraps of farbic in her stash!
Oo-la-la!
