On Saturday, my friend hosted a Garden Party at her home. She asked that I help, my contributions were minimal because of my extra work hours- she and her husband outdid themselves in creating a lovely atmosphere where 16 women enjoyed each other’s company, exchanged plants and enjoyed a wonderful potluck luncheon. The weather was overcast and mild – the day couldn’t have been more perfect. I have so many pictures to share – I will let them tell the story.
As we came up to the party – a screen door was set with wagon, shelf and wheel barrow to place the plants for exchange.
The door pocket on the screen is filled with flowers from my garden.
On the other side of the screen is a beautiful bistro set – she had stands filled with pans and flowers on the tables.
On the inside is this marvelous table built by my friend’s husband – made from reclaimed floor boards. The beautiful blue bottle chandelier is actually wired to light up.
My friend made the burlap banner – I made the lettering
On the table made by my friend’s husband she placed these sweet ink well bottles she found at an antique store
My friend had these lovely butterflies on a few chairs – whoever sat there received a gift
surrounding the tented area, my friend’s garden was beautifully beautifully in full bloom
seating was plentiful – in and outside of the tent
My friend’s husband built this area for her to enjoy.
the soothing sound of the fountains made this area a lovely retreat.
We had quite a lovely time sharing with one another. I believe we’d gladly get together more often and perhaps create a Garden Club and/or newsletter featuring garden tips, ideas and more plants to exchange. I have shared with you before, my friend Maria’s lovely home – inside and her amazing store.

Downton Abbey – The Crawley Family There’s just so much that appeals to one as you watch Downton Abbey. The fascinating and complicated relationship of the Crawley family gives you a glimpse into what it may have been like for such a family who were committed to the tradition of their heraldry and who wished […]
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 2 Timothy 1:5 While reading the books in the Bible written to Timothy by Paul I was struck by the deep love and affection […]
Homemade Granola. The rain seems to have settled in our area along with cooler temperatures. I am actually loving this. Our normal spring may be warmer and drier. I just love it when rain nourishes my garden. In the meantime, I am taking on indoor activities. I made this Homemade Granola for my family. It […]
More fun with leftover chicken. I shared with you last week that I had roasted some chicken for our church anniversary – I roasted six whole chickens and came home with enough left over for two or three meals for the two of us. Last week I made Roasted Potatoes and Buffalo Chicken Casserole – […]
