Wishing For Posies.....Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday Girlies!

Yeah, you might have guessed these little posie pix are NOT from this year.....but leftover from last year.

We have a tiny little back yard here at the cottage.  And, a beensie patio too.  It was the biggest one to choose from on the list of options, but come on..........it's still pretty darn little.    :-)

I adore English gardens so this is my little stab at that look.

I bought those great chairs at an estate sale for next to nothing and got the table at Costco.


Another topiary made from rooted ivy and a hanger.  Try it!  It costs nothing and you can have yourself a pretty darn topiary for FREE!

I just found a delish tablecloth to put out there this summer.

It was a great thrifting day for this chick.

I had to go to the chiropractor so I always cruise a couple of thrift stores while I'm out and about.

I think I paid four dollars for this little wagon in very sad shape.   I didn't care, I just use it to tote my posies.  These were my fall flowers....probably from this past year.

Everything still looks pretty droopy and puny here right now.

I usually plant all the goodies around Mother's Day.....Every time I've rushed the season we get a nice big 'ol freeze and everything croaks.  I've learned that lesson now.  (Finally).

For lots more Pink Saturday fun.....

Posies At Bellamere Cottage *Part Two*..............Happy Pink Saturday too!

Happy Pink Saturday little Sweeties!!!!!

I know you're going to want to see loads more PINK.....so

head on over to see Miss Beverly at:

You're going to LOVE it!

So, that little green pot of baby tears is one of my very favorite pots! It's a cute little cement pot underneath all of that "hair"... :-) It dies every winter, but always comes back in the spring. The little blop of white? Yeah, that's a little bird that's just LOST in all of that green hair.

This is what I see from my kitchen. Bellamere Cottage is just that....a beensie cottage...and the yard? Yep, the same......SMALL....but I LOVE it! I can't begin to tell you how much pleasure and joy this tiny plot of land gives me. It makes my heart sing!


When we downsized we looked at condos.......While there is so much to be said for that style of living, it didn't quite suit us, so we bought the teeny house with the tiny yard instead.

Perfect for us!

And, true to form, just like my house........I'll stuff it as full as I possibly can!

We have one of the canvas style gazebo's out there. I've thought about the permanent solution for the entire six years we've lived here. I finally came up with the perfect idea about two weeks ago. It'll be in the plans for next summer. That is if my half-husband isn't married and way too busy with projects for his little missus by then! :-)

(Yeah, I posted this story awhile back....There is nothing "weird" going on...)

It makes me smile!

See those petunias in the middle there? Yep, that's actually a flower pot of tunies! WOW! They really love that spot. I'll remember that for next year.

And, the tall pink flowers? Cosmos! They're HUGE! I love 'em. Gosh they were easy to grow. I've never tried them before.

To the left? Yes, those would be my roses. I do NOT like this variety at all. I don't remember what I bought, but they get watermarked and look yukky. I'm so disappointed.

I hope you all enjoy your PINK weekend!

God bless all of you. You're just the BEST!

Hugs and Lovies,
Spencer
