Color Play

I love how this fuchsia shows so beautifully against our white picket fence.
It's huge and just loaded with buds waiting to burst with new droplets!

The "old" flower bed is booming and blooming. I planted multiplier onions in there a couple of years ago; having no idea how well they would take off and take over.  But I love them just the same.
This little bench and angel statue have seen better days but she still seems content laying around keeping watch over whatever comes into her view.

Show Off Your Cottage Monday

I've discovered a lovely site where you can "Show Off Your Cottage Monday." The link can be found in my right sidebar. 

I'm always up for something new so I decided to do my first posting on their site.  I have such an eclectic home, but I love the little things that make it all seem to come together ~ well at least well enough for my liking.

At first I just hung three little pictures ~ then I came across an empty frame. Of course I had to find the perfect place for it ~ and walla ~ oops, there it is. I love how it made the small grouping transform to a collective picture. 

What once was a simple cup and saucer soon became a collection after my sister's visit. Upon her return visit she presented me with a little box holding matching cups, saucers and dessert plates that she said were just taking up space in her attic.  I wanted to show them off so I put them in a huge fruit bowl with a few cloth napkins and grapes. They now grace my dining room table for all to enjoy.

It really is worth clicking on the picture to enlarge it. The cups are just beautiful.
