The purple Petunias were the brightest color at the garden shop that day! I had to move the pots of Impatiens to a brighter space for maximum blooms. <br /><br />By the end of the summer I had the ultimate "purple" garden. That may be why I waited to post these pictures, because, I was waiting for the end of summer shot! I forgot to take it!! The blue Hydrangeas were spectacular last summer. <br /><br />Cannot wait to see if I can recreate this garden even better. I was always a red Geranium/yellow Petunia gardener in my former summers.

Steve made the sink top from a walnut table we found, in a salvage shop, in DeLand Florida many years ago. The fabric for the vanity skirt and shower curtain we discovered at World Market in South Carolina! Steve and I gathered the pieces and called the plumber and the tiler to pull it all together!

Wait until you see my collection of traveling totes!! When we travel there are different baskets for different parts of the trip. Picnic basket for the room by the highway. I take my own coffee maker and Grand Marnier. A picnic basket for roadside dinning. The rest areas, off the interstate, are actually very nice stops along the way. Of course there is a basket for snacks inside the truck. Apples, waters, ice teas and cookies help keep the driver fortified while speeding along!<br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuuroM2jV_QrBHEBmjDwVz9ipRG1TLhQlitcb_YtQGL3TdoK8-yHUwqrGvdQVasPbIQVDSPOoJ8xpmGS2KBXNH1jOmbZoRO8SXy73bebx6rvcOoUnD7oJOPUhWvMIWfVTYEfhpv4OwVV9jYtdryucFsepI4pcgFPfOLTldv7Sxa_dOp1PoI9_sX14aT8Y/s3024/me2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="1328" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuuroM2jV_QrBHEBmjDwVz9ipRG1TLhQlitcb_YtQGL3TdoK8-yHUwqrGvdQVasPbIQVDSPOoJ8xpmGS2KBXNH1jOmbZoRO8SXy73bebx6rvcOoUnD7oJOPUhWvMIWfVTYEfhpv4OwVV9jYtdryucFsepI4pcgFPfOLTldv7Sxa_dOp1PoI9_sX14aT8Y/w282-h640/me2.jpg" width="282" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">How bout that hand carved and hand painted lady bug brooch?

They are Autumn's Delight by Johnson Brothers in England. Many years ago my mother won on a horse, Victor Flanagan, at Hazel Park raceway. She quickly drove over to Pontiac Pottery, on Telegraph Road, and, with her winnings, bought place settings for eight. She and her dishes have been gone for forty-seven years. <br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfuyb7eGMZTRyJk4-xKfnVlzi1LNdfhiDMSw9BrScE_KsqtXXozXMWsslE1PLAZI82YAo4IkkobVMRsVGys5I0Y-ky3oKb5UY-yIFwMQs_JtJ09KjZecNqOseLeBZz3WOdpC5awuTXz9n4AcOSBy3POBcvLvkPXzkTLFnKMBaqvTggJcrLytCfe9b/s3024/platter.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfuyb7eGMZTRyJk4-xKfnVlzi1LNdfhiDMSw9BrScE_KsqtXXozXMWsslE1PLAZI82YAo4IkkobVMRsVGys5I0Y-ky3oKb5UY-yIFwMQs_JtJ09KjZecNqOseLeBZz3WOdpC5awuTXz9n4AcOSBy3POBcvLvkPXzkTLFnKMBaqvTggJcrLytCfe9b/w480-h640/platter.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then, just this year, my husband took me to an Antique shop over by Bay City. We looked around and what caught my eye? Seven dinner plates on a shelf. I immediately scooped them up. All I had was her platter. I felt blessed to have found them. Who wouldn't want their mother's china? I also was able to buy eight, Cape Cod water goblets at another shop! That had been her pattern for glass ware. So I set the table for my mother. <br /><br />My mother died of cancer, forty seven years ago, on April twelve, nineteen seventy seven. <br /><br />To have found these plates and glasses was a blessing for me. <br /><br />Happy Easter.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <p></p>Anchor Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12930845016342879734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755655000958724938.post-87207501994034263172023-03-30T16:49:00.001-04:002023-03-30T16:49:54.487-04:00The Wild Feathers and The Will Hoge Band<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiedj59AV5_MZtsfDEzFQLRl_hkc3I8RzekGDMV_iXR1ddIGfDi75eVgAioodJc8ANZ2onzDvmUw1J18lbIozVAWaVkWzrNYhQJu1ti2gtYENL57PdthMlner1ZZYROAyC1takOKHL6vLWZOs0oiwmSkSKbVpr8UZNRczIK8rVI0qto0lcVSOeveJma/s5635/DSC_0068%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="5635" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiedj59AV5_MZtsfDEzFQLRl_hkc3I8RzekGDMV_iXR1ddIGfDi75eVgAioodJc8ANZ2onzDvmUw1J18lbIozVAWaVkWzrNYhQJu1ti2gtYENL57PdthMlner1ZZYROAyC1takOKHL6vLWZOs0oiwmSkSKbVpr8UZNRczIK8rVI0qto0lcVSOeveJma/w640-h454/DSC_0068%20(2).JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">These guys play well together!
