My girly room embellished with roses I brought from our rented home…
My new antique flower vase. Love it.
Roses, what's not to love about them?
I have planted several roses in my wild garden; but mostly the candy apple-red double Knockout roses. They’re sturdy and very reliable in this type of climate and soil, they grow to almost gigantic proportions in this area and they get awash in vibrant red hues from spring to fall. So I'm trying with these roses first. There are such a variety of plant specimens here that you just have to be careful not to buy the entire nursery. I am enamoured with the Tropical specimens they have here, and I've been delectably selecting some. One in particular—the Hibiscus,
had me dreaming with sunshine-filled days and remembrances of a long ago little
girl pledging to herself that one day she will grew hibiscus in her garden.
Many years had gone by since that day, but my dreams have finally come true. I have bought and planted two exquisite hibiscus
shrubs, one in mandarin color and the other one in a bright and supple and
divine yellow.
One can never tell how many years will have to elapse before
your dreams can become reality, but if you keep that flame alive within your heart
and thoughts, eventually they will. Dreams do come true.
One of my favorite quotes ever reminds us: “Focus on the powerful, euphoric, magical,
synchronistic, beautiful parts of life... and the Universe will keep giving
them to you”. So true!
Hope you have a lovely peaceful evening...
I love all your flowers. Your girly room is so sweet to me. I love those kinds of rooms. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteMe too... I love those kinds of rooms. I know that the guys in my life think it's a little bit too girly for them to sleep there, but oh well. I am a girl. ;)

That's a great quote, Cielo. I have written it out and put on my kitchen wall so I see it when I start my day. Many thanks and blessings. Rachel.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a powerful quote indeed. I love it.

You have brought the House in the Roses with you to the Little Cottage ~ lovely!
ReplyDeleteI guess I have brought 'me'. Thanks for stopping by.

It is the person, I guess, what makes a house look lovely. Don't you think so? I think that one could own a humble home and make it look like a palace. On the other hand, beautiful mansions without that 'special' touch or inner beauty in the homemaker, would never stand to its standards. Last month when we visited our house in the roses, we could hardly believed it was the same once lovely home.

Yes, I agree. It is the person and the spirit which make the home what it is ... you bring the beauty with you wherever you go, that is what I meant when I said you brought the House in the Roses.
DeleteOh no worries… I knew what you meant, and you meant only good... guess I just wanted to share my experience about the odd impressions we felt when we visited the house in the roses last month… which perhaps it was not very nice of me to say it…
DeleteAlways nice seeing you around
Cielo
And I might add, I am so very glad to be here because I appreciate the beauty that you share. Not only your roses, but your words are beautiful too. You have a gift!
DeleteIt is always strange to go back somewhere you lived and see it changed. It must be melancoly to see it changed so.
Love these pictures...the roses and bright colors have always been what I love about your blog. I also love the quote Cielo. I may not comment every time, but each day I check for what new and inspirational thing you have written...take care. Sue
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue. That is what keeps me going with my blog... knowing that although I don't see how many visitors come by, or don't see many comments at time, I know that readers like you are out there. Thank you for letting me know.
