Whites in the Garden...

I am going to take you into the garden today..

No boots or umbrellas required today!

It's a beautiful day for gardening..

 and I have been out enjoying it all day!

A cute little white trellis,

I bought at Joann's Fabrics this spring.

I can't remember this plants name..

it has been in one of my flower beds for a few years.

It has the loveliest clusters of purple flowers,

and.. it is the most aggressive creeper!

I finally gave up on the battle and dug it out

and potted a bit of it.

A close-up of white Alyssum.

It's easy to overlook just how pretty

 these clumps of tiny flowers are...

 It's also nice being so close,

because they smell so good:-)

My Columbines are holding on...

The Delphiniums are really starting to bloom...

I love this white one with the layers of ruffled petals..

My foxgloves are starting to bloom too..

so elegant...

This white wire dress form is on my back patio..

I bought this little hanging tin wall pocket

at a garage sale.

and made her a pocket of flowers for her skirt :-)

That's all for today..

I hope you enjoyed searching the garden for whites

with me:-)

Today I am joining two fun parties!

Garage Sale Roses...

Saturday... I went out to a few more garage sales.

So,  I thought I would share with you

some of the pretties I found :-)

Roses Roses Roses

I bought these all at one sale

for three dollars!

These two rosy cups,  no saucers...

They match.. the bud is on one side

and  the bloom on the other.

I thought they had an unusual stamp..

the only word I can read is China.

Here is one of the two plates I bought,

they are Hand Painted

Prussian China

Royal  Ruddlstadt.

They were by far my favorite purchase.

When your heart pitter patters

for one dollar a piece plates

it's a good day!

Here is a close up of the beautiful roses

on the first plate...

and...  A close up of the second plate,

it has a hair line crack,

but I am not complaining...

I would love to be talented enough to paint

dreamy roses like this!

and... Here is a little oval bowl

by Homer Laughlin

with some more delicate roses.

I am going to use it in the bathroom

to hold some pretty soaps.

So all and all it was a very rosy day :-)

Today.. I am joining

Linda at Coastal Charm

for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

New Pink Teacups...

This morning I went out

and visited a few garage sales:-)

Sorry..  This first one won't enlarge

I don't know why?

I was so excited when I found this group of Pink Teacups..

I knew right away I would have to share them

with the Pink Ladies

for Pink Saturday!

It's an uneven set of...

eight cups and five plates.

But what a deal at twenty dollars!

They are the Georgian pattern

by Homer Laughlin...

Don't they have a pretty bouquet?

and... one of my Pink Peonies

floated in the cup.

Flowers, flowers, everywhere...

Isn't that the best part of summer?

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

I can't wait to go to more sales in the morning!

Today I am joining...

Beverly at How Sweet The Sound
