GUARDIAN ANGELS

I think we've all heard the saying "Everyone has a "Guardian Angel watching over them". Well, I do know that there have been too many times during my lifetime when something tragic happened in which the end should have resulted in my not being alive today. Since these incidents I have experienced were extremely frightening, I think it might be best not to post the details. Just the memories of them make me wonder... "who is MY Guardian Angel"... because I KNOW I have one!

As I was taking pictures of my "Pink Fairy Cottage" today, I was thrilled that it wasn't raining for the millionth day in a row and the tiny pink roses were actually blooming on top of the roof. Getting pictures of the roses in bloom each summer is quite the challenge, as the window of opportunity is most often very short. Usually the roses bloom for a few days while it is pouring "cats and dogs". By the time the rain stops all the petals are on the ground and I have a beautiful "green" veil covering the house with no pink fairy roses.

Today was my big chance! I walked up to the cottage to straighten up the little sign I have there which I painted years ago which reads "Angels Garden Here". I loved it so much I could never sell it, so now it adorns the outside of the "cottage".

Once I had a couple of pics that I thought "might" be o.k., I came inside, downloaded the photos and continued on with my day which consisted of adding new treasures to my websites. While I was working I noticed there was actually a "theme" happening today. It seemed as though all of my newest treasures were adorned with Cherubs, Angels, or both. What an inspiration as I worked through the day and the sun finally came bursting through the 8 days of rain clouds! I guess my "Guardian Angel" was answering my prayers today.

I thought you might enjoy taking a look.

First and foremost, as always

PINK FRIDAY ~ JUNE 12th
"ALONG THE GARDEN PATH"

Delights and pleasures that make your heart beat a little faster await you along the garden path. Sights and sounds and smells that excite your senses and inspire your imagination. Perhaps it's the purple cone flowers, multicolored morning glories, fragrant angel trumpets, or the lordly foxglove, all grown from seed and tended with love, that line the path and remind you to dream. Or the delicate shadow of a Victoria trellis supporting a new vine that takes you on a new flight of fancy. In the early morning hours, or when the sun begins to set, a verdigris candle holder or metal scroll work lantern might illuminate the garden pathway. But it's the vintage metal buckets painted with floral designs and planted with overflowing flowers, that seem to light the way.

The garden scenery is reflected in a beautiful handmade cushion, stitched from fabric alive with pink blossoms, then placed on a nearby garden chair. A decorative vintage birdcage hangs from a weather hook. On the table lies a gardening book filled with inspiration and ideas to share. Later, you'll remember absent friends and lovingly write to them on note cards reminiscent of a favorite rose garden. But for right now, you'll celebrate with those who are here, and share the treasures you've found along the garden path.

GOOD MORNING!

It's been raining here for the past day so I've decided to get going an fill up my shops with new treasures. Both "Treasured Heirlooms" and "Elegance and Whimsy" are filled to the brim with new vintage china, linens, rose adorned antiques, candy dishes, pretty vases, garden goodies and lots more. I thought I would post a few treasures before I headed down to my "Glitz and Glam" station and get back to work.
