Looking Forward to Flower Power

Okay, call it a Flower Power Garden

or

a Walk in a Calm and Peaceful Place.

This is how I feel about my garden.

~Happy New Week~

I thought it would be fun to look back
on my garden as I prepare for spring.

A spot to be in when the day is hectic,

cluttered and long!

 Where the springtime blooms will

bring me to a peaceful ease.

I will walk once again in the garden

and enjoy the blooms

bright and beautiful.

A walk to clear the mind.

A place to pray and be thankful.

Thinking of days to come.

My favorite roses in all their beauty

 telling me spring has come once again.

A visit here will bring blessings,

joys and remembrance.

A garden that has given birth to many a sweet birdie.

Soon this hydrangea garden will be in full bloom.

Azaleas, bright for springtime.

Tiny white roses filling a garden arch have been home to many a birdies

and their sweet families.

Pretty vintage tea roses greet me as I round the bend

to view flowers that seem to say,

"come visit me, I have a gift for you"

 Thinking back, it seems like forever,

Looking forward it feels like tomorrow!

when I will say~

"My you are gorgeous this season~

Are you enjoying the warm temps?

oh too soon it will be very hot,

but I will do my best to protect you."

***

I know they are thankful for the care,

just as I am thankful for the

serene and beauty they share each day.

Moments among the blooms,

natures beauty to enjoy.

Thank you for joining me.

My flowers thank you for coming along

for a walk in the calm.

Wishing you

flower filled days 

looking forward to spring.

Springtime In Texas

This is the time of year in Texas

that likens to a temperamental mother nature.

 

Beautifully warm and gorgeous one day

and cold and windy the next.

 

Days when storm clouds hang low in the sky

and winter's grey days want so badly to stick around.

 

But soon the temperament softens and

grey days turn to blue skies and mild days.

 

So my Guy and I head further south in the lone star state

to work, play and relax.

 

Crossing the Colorado River, we know we are getting closer to

a calm and slower pace in a small town.

 

This week finds me creating and treasure hunting off the beaten path.

Taking me once again south in my beloved Texas.

 

 

Where the Blue Bonnets are blooming~

 

and the  Indian Paintbrush Flowers

grow side by side with Blue Bonnets for the prettiest contrast in wildflowers.

 

And when I 'm not taking in the gorgeous beauty of God's lovely creations,

I can be found treasuring hunting at some of my favorite

boutiques.

When taking a break, from the shopping (is that possible?) you can find me

 hanging out in our comfy digs

for the week.

New style décor adorned in

light and dark aqua,

with brown and a touch of lime green.

The color combo sounds awful right?~~~~but very upscale and beautifully styled.

The dining room overlooks the pool.

Still too cold for a dip, but so pretty to view.

 

So while I work on creating a bit of this and that,

we caught the RoundTop  huge flea market

beginning to set up and fill with vendors from

all over the country.

!!!!!!WOW!!!!!!

 the tents filled with every treasure under the sun

goes on up and down the road for miles.

 

I was fortunate enough to stop and do a little

junkin in spaces where vendors were ready to let us visit,

 even though the day was cold and very windy.

Vendors were working hard to tie down their tents

and secure the goodies from blowing away.

 

Still the true junkinette that I am,

braved the cold and wind to find a few treasures.

 

I'll be back next time to share those treasures when

they can be unpacked back in the studio.

 

In the mean time,

have a wonderful first week of spring

and I will be around to visit you as I can.

Miss you and see you all soon.

 

~Blessings and Blue Skies Be Yours~

 

Wishing you Southern DayDreams,

Bringing In Aqua

I love to bring in a pop of color with the seasons.

This year aqua is the pop,

 mixed with the colors around my cottage of

 whites, browns, blacks and neutrals.

 

Yes aqua just feels so fresh and springtime.

 

For the walls~

 

 

For the bath~

layers of aqua with black and a touch of vintage lace.

 

 

Dresser touches~

 

Cozy throw in a sitting area

 

 ready for chilly spring evenings.

 

 

A favorite painting

filled with painted flowers

and aqua touches!

 

Bath accents to relax and refresh~

 

 

Faithful reminder,  fresh with aqua.

 

 

Springtime birds sweet with aqua and blue green.

 

 

What pops of color do you bring in for springtime?

 

Are you enjoying a touch of aqua too?

 

Wishing you a beautiful Easter week

 

filled with pops of color!

 

 

Easter Hugs

and

Colorful wishes!
