Pink Saturday

The Azalia is really starting to bloom with the start of Spring.  I painted the pot blue for contrast and a splash of colour.

Elegant victorian girl enjoying the pink leafy plant of which I have forgotten the name, but never fails to put on a show.  It grows easily from a cutting too.  I pick pieces off and plant it around the garden

Pink cupcakes on my market stall

Pansies are the prettiest, sweetest little flower, with their smiley faces and are quite at home in one of my vintage teacups

One of two Abutilons we have, this is Miller and we also have Abutilon Frazer. They are loved by the honey eaters, who hang from the leaves to taste the sweet honey from the flowers each morning before bathing in the bird bath

I am joining How Sweet the Sound for Happy Pink Saturday today

The Sunroom

Dining room/kitchen

Hallway

Another part of the dining room

Sewing/writing room

Sitting room at Christmas time.  I might not decorate Christmas this year in the traditional colours. I think maybe I will have all silver and white.  Just a thought, a little time yet to change my mind.

Bedroom

Some of my vintage collections. I love cutlery with bone handles, memories of Grandma's home 

Bathroom window made by our daughter.  It changes colour as the sun and light change.Collection of vintage bottles and jars

A collection of my blue and white china, I can't seem to stop buying it,usually from op shops and markets

Another part of the sewing room with the table I recently painted white.  I hope you have enjoyed the little peak into my home

My Hibiscus

The Hibiscus are all starting to show off their beautiful bright colours.

 The single white is always my favourite, I love its simplicity and its gorgeous bright red stamen

The marshmallowness of this one looks pretty enough for any display

I am joining Fishtail Cottage for Cottage Flora Thursday today

Roses for my vintage jars and bottles

I bought some gorgeous decals from Jo-Anne Colletti of http://www.vintagerosecollection.com/

Jo-Anne paints beautiful roses on everything.

I put a Soaps decal and a Bath Salts one on the larger jars and little victorian ones on the bottles.They look lovely with my newly painted side table,I think

I am also visiting House in the Roses today, Cielo has spoken beautiful words that touch your heart

The roses

The garden is starting to look really nice and the roses especially are looking good.  I picked a bunch of my favourites.

The climbers look especially nice

The black boy has been in the garden for about 8years and only ever gets one rose a year.  This is the one so far for this year.  I am living in hope that we get more

The fairy roses are always sweet

This one flowers for most of the year.  I can never remember their names

The climber with an overcast sky,
