This afternoon I posted a Mallow Bouquet
to the Monthly Garden Bouquet Party.
Here is my bouquet if you missed it:-)
Since it is such a beautiful summer afternoon,
I decided to stay out under the Cherry Tree for my dinner.
(click photos to enlarge)
This cherry tree and rustic bench
are on the backside of my garden.
This area is left on the natural side..
with four dogs and no lawn,
this serves as their run and play area.
Since Mike is working tonight..
I am alone for dinner
and decided to have a very simple and lazy nosh :-)
So I mad this nest of pillows,
and brought along an old copy of Victoria magazine
to keep me company...
I was enjoying this photo of two lovely girls...
the photos remind me of photos
Jacqueline at Cabin and Cottage
has shared of her sweet Granddaughter Emma.
If you haven't visited Jacqueline's very lovey blog
you are in for a treat!
her tablescape tonight is gorgeous!
The Basil was due for a trim
so I made pesto and will enjoy it served on little crackers,
with iced tea.
I will be using my pink depression glass goblet..
I only have one,
and have yet to find a mate for it.
I will also use my pink depression glass
compote dish and small saucer..
both are also mix and match.
This pretty silver spoon is the only flatware needed..
eating anything with such a pretty spoon
always feels like a special occasion:-)
I hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful summer evening:-)
I will be joining two parties this evening...
Kathy at A delightsome Life is having a
and I am joining..
Susan at Between Naps on the Porch
It's number 100!
Both are wonderful ways to spend a sweet summer eve!
Thanks for visiting me today!!

like looking at a beautiful magazine!!! just gorgeous!
Oh I love your pink depression glass!! I (we, as in my mom and I) do not have any pink! I think she has every other color. This is beautiful!
Dearest Bella,
Happy dogs; that's for sure with such a roaming place and lovely play area! Your photos are all so lovely so I decided to take your button home.
You're more than welcome to reciprocate!

What a surprise! (shock) It's a good thing I read blogs once in a while instead of just looking at the pretty pictures! Ha! Thank you so kindly! I'm so glad you liked my post--I should have remembered your doggie connection! I have always loved the jug and had it for a long time. The handle is wonderful, no? You need one. You've left big nice comments for me everywhere tonight! Thank you very much! I like your cozy rustic bench and your pretty pink glass. Love Pesto! Ciao! Jacqueline
What a lovely table for one, good idea with only the one goblet. How gorgeous this was and I love the Victoria Magazine. My favorite rest time is reading magazines. This is one of my favorites. What a restful respite you have created. Hope you had a nice night, now I have to be off to check out Cabin and Cottage!!
What a gorgeous and relaxing area you've created here! Just perfect. :-)
Have a wonderful Thursday!
Hugs,
Anne

Oh, how lovely. I collect pink depression glass as well. Actually, I'll collect any I can find if the price is right.
Beautiful display today, Bella.
Hi Bella,
What a beautiful spot! I love your mallow bouquet...I've been wanting to plant zebra mallow and was eyeing it up at the nursery earlier this summer, but I've sort of run out of room to plant things!!!!
As always, I love your pink Depression glass. I think your pink goblet has the same pattern as my blue Depression glass goblets.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. Your garden bench looks like a lovely spot to read - I love it. I had a piece or 2 of depression glass, I think in gold, I especially like your pink.
Absolutely beautiful!
Simply beautiful Bella.

More beautiful photos!!
This is so peaceful and cool! And I love the pink depression glass. I have a few pink, but more green. My sister made off with the pink:)
Linda
Hello Bella! This is such a lovely setting! It could be taken straight from Victoria! Just love how you've made it such a comfortable place for yourself and your Victoria! If you were anywhere near Atlanta this weekend there's a Depression Glass Show in Cobb County! A rainbow of colorful glassware!
Thanks again for joining me this week!
Kathy
We grow mallow in our garden too. It likes to self sow in the darnest spots. Pretty post, thank you.
If you're curious, your little pink sherbet is Cherry Blossom depression glass. The pink goblet is Recollection by Indiana Glass, it is a reproduction of the Madrid depression glass. Your saucer is pink Madrid or pink Recollection, I can't tell by the photo.
Bella, how romantic is this setting with those pretty neddlework cushions in contrast to the rough bench. Really like in a film. And this pretty depression glass is so sweet to that. Hmmm, the idea of pesto with crackers makes me drolling. Thank you for sharing this romantic vignette.
Greetings, Johanna
What a beautiful setting! I love your flowers, and pink Depression glass always delights!
what a lovely ... lovely way to unwind.. I'd love to be here... wow!
Dear Isabelle,
Such a lovely bouquet! Your depression glass is very beautiful as well. I have something similar to it in brown. It was my grandmothers and therefor extra special to me.
Enjoy your day!
Lieve groet, Madelief
What a beautiful setting! I could spend hours right here. The bouquet is so pretty. I love the depression glass. I am so frustrated. Google translate keeps translating this page into Afikaans. I can't get it back to English. Hopefully my comment will be in English when you see it.
I love it. It looks like it's from a magazine. I'd love to linger in your garden!
so beautiful, i love garden moments...
The person ensconced on your lovely bench in your gorgeous setting will be moi! Just didn't want you to be startled. Wonderful vignette. Thank you for sharing your design. Cherry Kay
Hello, I've loved your photos and your blog. Visually it's beautiful. His last pictures, the cushions on the bench in the garden has been very good greetings Rose Marie
Hi Bella, you've made an elegant corner in which to have your dinner. I like your choice of magazine for reading and have that issue too.
Judith
What a gorgeous blog. I want to crawl right into the pages and have a cup of tea! Thank you!
Oh, this is such a dainty pretty setting. Sitting at your bench with your place setting for one and thumbing through the pages of your fav magazine seems so inviting. The pink depression glass is beautiful.
All the Best,
Requi
I love this! The rustic bench is perfect with the lacy pillows and dishes. What a wonderful relaxing spot, I'm so glad you are treating yourself to such a lovely meal...sometimes we do need to pamper ourselves to refresh our minds. Thanks for sharing and all the inspiration!
Sharlotte
What a charming little bench all dressed in pink and white...very, very pretty.
How pretty -- love the contrast of the lace with the rustic bench. Such pretty depression glass too.
Bella, this is lovely! Mix and match is always the best! I've been trying to collect some different pieces lately just for that purpose...love it when things don't match. This was a lovely escape this evening...thanks so much for joining in on the 100th TT celebration! :)
