I’ve been busy busy these days... painting furniture and changing things
around the garden...
Painting flower pots...
Scattering seeds, planting more flowers and watering the
entire garden back and front by hand every day…
I was delightedly surprised the other when I saw that Home
Depot brought some lovely tea roses this year… something other than the
Knockout edition, can you believe it! Those
roses are so pretty, I just needed some... Oh I think my addiction to roses is back and our little white cottage is turning
into another house in the roses… seriously!
Don’t blame me if I couldn’t resist… who could? These roses are too pretty… I bought two Paradise lilac, mauve,
very fragrant hybrid tea rose, and a Queen Elizabeth grandiflora rose in a
lovely shy pink, which I’d planted by the garage door…
The purple and white allium bulbs I planted this winter are
blooming everywhere, and the Sedum 'Autumn Fire'… so easy to grow, so lovely in
late summer and fall with their bright red to deep bronze red in color as fall
turns into winter are blooming wonderfully. I discovered that you
can stick a small stem/branch in the ground and they will put out roots… that's all you have to do to multiply them. These plants will root no matter what. Love them!
Last Christmas I bought a ruffle 3-tiered chair slipcover from Target for the chair in my living room. I wanted something similar for the two center
chairs in the dinning room, but I wanted a shorter length and less ruffles…
I found the perfect two ruffle shorter version skirt
slipcovers at Overstock.com.
An instant
makeover and seasonal change to the room!
I know, I should iron them! ;)
We’re going back to cold weather again… it was freezing cold
this morning and temperatures are
dropping down to the 20’s tonight… yuck! I’ve brought in all my flower pots and the heater
is on again. Our little white cottage
feels warm and cozy. I love it that when
evening falls, our bedroom is gently lighted up by fairy lights… the last light of day streaming in through
the windows makes the room an enchanting little place to be… to rest and just
put our cares aside for a few hours.
I hope you all are keeping warm tonight.
See you soon!

Cielo, I like the slipcovers. I hope all your wonderful roses bloom for many years. I love roses, but I do not have very good luck with them. Blessings for a return to spring. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Ceilo, your painted aqua garden furniture looks fantastic, and the roses will be amazing when Summer comes. l also love the chair slipcovers and what a perfect fit they are.

so lovely to see changes and you are using more white again :D.....love it....I love those slip covers, I've been looking for something I didn't have to make myself and those look perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the fairy lights behind the curtains too!! love love love! I'm entertaining guests from Sweden these past days and glad they found a way to use public transportation today so I am free today to do some slow things, to find that beauty I seem to have lost for a bit being ''out in the world'' so much, but this is a lovely reminder and I am thinking again of 'doing', beautifying my home.
I am working on creating a Japanese Garden in on section by the pond which will be perfect, and I have everything for it, just need the energy. Maybe some crafting today will be good for my poor exhausted body and brain lolol...keep up the magic!
