Celebrate the Fourth

Wishing that you and your families' Fourth of July holiday is just

MAGICAL.

wishing that you have an opportunity to relax amid all the

FESTIVITIES. 

hoping you have many reasons  to

SMILE A LOT

 as my son's beautiful  fiance does...

and visit Debra at

COMMON GROUNDS'

lovely patriotic party.

it will be a wonderful time.

love cooking for my family and friends at the

HOMESTEAD 

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

to you and your family!

enjoy a summer collage to celebrate a joyous

SUMMER DAY

is there anything more quintessentially summer than

birds and nests?

here is my attempt at creating a bird's nest for a jewelry photo shoot...

so longing for a bike basket like this one to nestle my Krumpet in as

we are bike riding...

Happy Summer...

roses in view...

 

Behind schedule this summer in setting up the outdoor furniture

but so excited to participate in the fun Blog Block Party

about patios at Savvy Country Style

instead,  have been busy planting~ have dreamed of red roses

along my front stone wall to highlight the new red gates

for so long and this year, accomplished!

placed climbing roses on the arbor on the side patio,

the back yard sitting area is in bloom too.

be sure to check out  the Blog Block Party

at Savvy Country Style.

Attending a strings concert this weekend !

some of my blogging friends know that I am

partial to the violin as my son played for years...

please tour with me one of my favorite concert locations

a private historic building that opens for music

with lovely grounds... 

then to rest...

 the remainder of the weekend like the

 Princess and the Pea

in this glorious room, well dream anyway...

lovely...

It would be so magnificent to tell you that I am in France

 and a moment ago took this photograph.

This amazing balcony has the most astonishing detail and is so inviting

I feel like I am there, don't you?

However, I write this happily, from the homestead.

Next post will be more of the Garden wedding. Enjoy...

pretty...

For Table Top Tuesday I went searching through my file of favorite pics. Although not a table top vignette, this serene combination of objects makes me smile. The candle and the flowers in the bottles is a novel idea. The ormulu wood carvings are pretty, quaint and elegant at the same time...

enjoy,
Karen
