Mixed up Saturday, very Horticultural !!!

Good Morning My Lovelies,

What a jam packed post I have for you today we have everything from 

Embroidery to Scenery, oh and little bit of Horticulture!!

So let's get started....

 Val

Val has had a few requests for Pop Up Cards, so as we all now Val doesn't Craft

On a small scale, just look what our amazing friend has achieved !!!

What an incredible display of gorgeousness!! 

Each and every one of those boxes is totally unique and so pretty, 

If they haven't already I just know that they will fly off the shelf, 

Thank you so much for sharing them with us Val

Maria

Our Maria has been decluttering her garage, while she was sorting 

through boxes she discovered some forgotten treasures from 

Way back before card making took over as her hobby.

A lovely Longstitch, I did a couple of these myself and liked how 

Quickly the came together, I love your Dove Maria, such an iconic 

Image of peace, something we could all do with a little bit more of these days.

Two beautiful Cross Stitched pieces too, I love the rose table cloth, the Cherries

are really pretty too, you should have them out for all to see, not hidden 

away in a box, I think we have become a little too minimalist these

days, all treasures and heirlooms seem to be hidden away.

Thank you so much for sharing them Maria

Cheryl

Well here it is at last, you can now all share in the beauty of 

Pete's Dragon's Tongue Lily, it is just amazing, I have never

Seen anything like it before this week, you must have been

So excited to see it finally unfurl itself Cheryl, it is stunning,

Cheryl says it is 22 inches from base to tip, can you believe that??

I want to thank you Cheryl as if it were not for your kindness in sharing

The pic of Pete's Lily I think most of us would have never seen anything

As Magnificent, thank you so very

Janet

What can I say but WOw Janet, such a peaceful scene, your

Garden is so lovely, I hope to join you at that table some time soon.

I can just picture you relaxing on that swing, pad in hand finding jobs for Jim!

 Janet lives on a very peaceful lane so no traffic noise to be heard, 

This view looks out towards the front gates, where we all think about Jim arriving 

Through with the fresh bread and croissant each morning,

Thank you Janet for sharing your little piece of heaven

 Brenda

Brenda your garden is just beautiful, so many lovely 

Well established plants and shrubs, I just love the little

area with the mirror, everything looks very well

thought out, who spends more time in the greenhouse, you or John?

Your lawn looks like a bowling green, it looks as though John has invested a lot

Of time on it, the other thing that I love is the different spaces you have created 

With your pots and planters, so much interest everywhere .

The stunning yellow rose in the last photo is a rose that Brenda and John 

received for their Golden Wedding Anniversary and it flowers every 

Year just as they celebrate their anniversary.

Thank you so much Brenda for a walk in your garden.

Pat

Just look at the breathtaking views from Pat's Balcony, absolutely

Amazing, I would be happy to be sat there all day, with a good book and

a pot of tea, there is so much to look at from watching the

different kinds of boats come in and out to people on the beach.

I do hope you are feeling well enough to enjoy it Pat.

Thank you for sharing your view

Swim shorts as there is a pool and sauna, he has his book, I am quite pleased he is having a day with nothing to do, it never usually happens for him, at least one of us is
Excited, thank you all for your lovely messages of support, you are the best friends any girl could ask for and I love you all.
