The Garden in Pink...

We have been having Beautiful Weather,

so I thought I'd take you to my garden,

to look for PINK......

A Rabbit trying to hide behind a Pink Hyacynth......

The Small Camilla Bush I planted in the Courtyard Last spring

is Happily Starting to Bloom....

The real show stoppers this time of year,

are the Thundercloud Plums...

The Pink makes the Sky look So Blue.

In the Rainy Northwest we appreciate Blue Skies

in the Spring!

We had a little breeze,

and the plum trees were raining pink flowers,

into the Koi Pond.

The Koi all stirred from there semi hybernation,

to play with the Floating Flowers,

and Soak up Some Sun.

Now I'm off to Weed the Garden :-)

Emily's Dressing Table...

I'd like to show you a few things,  

On Emily's Dressing Table.

Here I must confess I truly don't know what her name is but...

she shouldn't be nameless,  so Emily it is :-)

and... I must also confess not all things are period correct.

Here is a Cabinet Card Photo of Emily,

she was obviously a Lady of Means,

she has Very Fancy Clothing.

(all photos can be enlarged by clicking them)

A scattering of items on her dressing table...

A Deco Era Brooch,

with rows of Sparkley Rhinestones.

A small collection of Black Glass Buttons.

A Few Hatpins, with Black Glass Tops,

Hatpins are the original Ladies Weapon of Choice,

these are Sharp and over 8" Long!

The end of a Deco Era Cigarette Case,

showing rows of Sparkley Rhinestones.

And lastly a Small Handmade Purse,

just enough room for a Cell Phone and Credit Card :-)
