Whimsical Sweet Pea Dress Form...

 

When you have the time

just to play...

 

create something whimsical...

 

 

I imagine

if you have been around my blog for awhile

you have seen my wire dress form somewhere in the garden

or maybe even beside the Christmas tree wearing angel wings

several years ago...

 

well,

my fondest desire

has always been for Sweet Peas

to climb up it

and form a floral skirt...

 

this year

I am on the way to making that happen...

 



 

I created a twine trellis...

 



 

the bottoms of the twine

are held in place

by small metal wickets...

 

the kind you use for landscape fabric...

 

 

then come the little Sweet Pea starts...

 

they have a long way to climb...

 



 

I think it will be worth the wait,

I'll keep you updated...

 

Thanks for stopping by today...

May Began with Roses...

May began,

and greeted me with Roses...

 

 

the first handful of Gertrude Jekyll Roses

burst open this morning...

 



 

and the  

 floppy China Blush Roses too...

 

 

My month is off to a good start,

I hope yours is too...

 

 

Happy Weekend!

Happy May Day...

Knock Knock....

 

Happy May Day!

 

 

I have loved May Day

for as long as I can remember...

 

the sweet and simple tradition

of sharing

 a basket of flowers...

 

 

I made my basket

with crepe paper,

paper flowers,

a bit of netting

&

velvet ribbon...

 



 

and a mix of cheery garden blooms...

 

my little watch dogs,

were very interested

about what I was doing outside the door...

Happy May Day...
