A BEEutiful Summer Table

Our daughter, Tracy,  SIL Dave , and Colleen came over today to see Tata's new hip:) Colleen brought him balloons and a card and was fascinated with his BIG bandage. After they left and I cleaned up, I decided to set a new table since I had emptied the table after lunch. Here is our new table...for awhile! I wanted to do black and white and yellow so I thought BEES!

 I went outside and got some yellow zinnias from the garden.

 These beehive canisters are the BEES KNEES:)

 The bird S and P sit on a black and white bird plate.

 2 plates are nestled together for part of the centerpiece.

 A bee sits in one of the topiaries.

 Of course we have to have our bee glasses too!

 I laid a patterned black and white placemat over a solid yellow one.

 The flowered embroidery on the corner of the placemat is a good match to the inside of the bowl.

 I gathered a black and white patterned napkin with a solid yellow.

We will enjoy this table for a few weeks I'm sure. I will be sharing at these great parties:

My Favorite Pillow!!

I found this pillow several years ago on clearance at Burlington Coat Factory!!! Yes, they have great linens too!!! I have gotten several pillows there over the years. When I saw it I was so excited. 1-it was a koi pillow and 2-it was BLUE AND WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't be more perfect for me!!!

 Our pond is right out these windows so another reason it is perfect!

 I changed up the pieces on this table, and am using the water lilly for summer too.

 So realistic with the water droplets and the little frog:)

 I love this room, it REALLY feels like home now.

 And here is the amazing price!!!!!!!!!!!!! I kept the tag on it cause I knew I would forget what a BARGAIN it was!   Thanks so much for visiting. Joe is doing pretty well. Tonight as I type this he is already in bed. They kinda wore him out in PT today and he is hurting again:( Any prayers are greatly appreciated!!!!

XO, Pinky

Late August around the Yard

I thought I should share some pictures I took about 2 weerks ago before I share the Fall decorations outside (and in). We had beautiful, mild temps for most of the month of August and the flowers all did beautifully! Here are a few shots.These first 2 are of one of the water lilies in the pond. Wea re SO thrilled to have them, at the old house they never bloomed due to not enough sun!

 This is a pink one

 SO many laly pads.

 The marigolds all around the pnd have done very well, wait til you see how big they are now! Plus they will look good for Fall too! Bonus!

 The geraniums are blooming profusely as well.

 This is a cardinal flower. They love wet feet and the humming birds love them!

 The limelight hydrangeas.

 Imaptiens in a pot on the front "porch".

 Knock out roses.

 Peach geranium.

 The front of the house, which will be totally transformed tomorrow:)
