Beautiful Gardens

This last weekend I was privileged to attend to the Murrieta Home and Garden Show. Gorgeous gardens and lovely homes.
My girl friends are from high school and we meet once a year,from many different places, attend the show and get inspired by the beauty of the gardens and each other!

I was excited to see the lily ponds and took many pictures of those because not only do I love them but I love to paint them too! Talk about inspiration! Oh and the beautiful roses!

I just loved the potting shed at one of the homes and just had to share all of this with you!!

GREEN BIRD

10.5"x 5"hand made clay bird embellished with colorful broken bits of pottery.

I know, it's not really a green bird. I was loving the contrast of the pinks and greens and white potterie pieces. These birds are very sweet in the garden as well as in the home. They are weather proof with a sealer.

A Simple Garland

Mom's Window Boxes

I was just at my mother's house and was really taken with her lovely window boxes! She loves pink and blue and a bit of yellow here and there ( very Monet)and not always the same flowers but the colors are usually the same. She does have a favorite though, a big pink and cream rose,Double Delight. That is in her rose garden, today it is ode to the window boxes.
