~Garden Plates and Simple & Sweet Fridays #75~

I've been wanting to add some china plates to the garden.

 I ran across some chipped and miss-matched plates my mother had left me. 

I knew she would love this idea using them in the garden as markers.

I used a Deco Color marker. 

Hopefully it was last, at least through the summer.

Then I recycled some old wood stakes from a barrel.

Stan helped me drill holes in the plates.

Did I ever tell you I have the best husband.

Of course, we needed a thyme marker.

I wanted to treat Stan with dessert for helping me make the garden plates. 

I love any recipe using filo dough. I made him a

 Cherry and Almond Strudel.

Had to share my new lavender with you.

So pretty!

Happy Thursday everyone!

~New Dahlia and Sweet & Simple Fridays #73~

Our dahlias were starting to bloom this week.

 I had to share with you some photos I took.

I hated to pick the beautiful blooms, 

but I wanted to enjoy them in the house!

Sweet signs of summer in the house.

Stan picked our Anna Apples today.

So I had to make an Apple and Pear Crisp.

Ina Garten's recipe is the best!

Saving sunflowers seeds for next year.

Our first watermelon.

Remember when I shared the 

hydrangea wreath last week with you.

Well, it's starting to turn purple. 

Still looks pretty good, wouldn't you say!

Hope you were able to play in your gardens this week.

Looking forward to being inspired by all of you!

Happy Thursday everyone!

~Summer Vignette and Simple & Sweet Fridays #67~

I wanted to decorate our buffet for a summer look. I bought this cute bird plate last year 

and loved all the colors in it.

 A bird bottle under the cloche and my 

blue glass candlesticks with my Paris candles in them was just what it needed.

My mother gave me the white serving dish for a birthday gift. 

I found my new flower runner at Home Goods.

The colors were perfect.

A little nest with blue eggs and fresh flowers.

How about some votives?

I always love when books are added to the vignette.

Some butterflies and garland to finish the look.

My friend Linda, sent a beautiful present to 

thank me for staying at our home. 

I will treasure them always and think of her.

Speaking of friends, I would like to thank you all for all your support 

and wonderful posts that you share every week.

You inspire us and we love hearing from you.

Can't wait to see what ideas and projects

 you've shared for this week!
