Hello,
I visited your blog today. It is so pretty, charming, and sweet. Your photos are lovely. I really like the tea cups and have been taking time out to have a cup of tea each day. It is soothing after a hectic day. I like roses also, especially red. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you and seeing all your wonderful, creative ideas. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

Happy Pink Saturday Jil!!
I am sorry I didnt' get to see your special creative space. I would have loved that. I guess I will wait until next year to see what motivates you to create such lovely things.
Your blooms are so pretty, mine are fried, so it's good to see flowers this time of year.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Char

Hi Jill,
Saw your blog name on Sheri, Nel and Jess' site. Thought I would stop by and see your blog and say hello. I love the pretty mugs and flowers! I love hydrangeas, too! I live in the Seattle area and they do quite well here. Had a harder time growing them when I lived in Florida. My hydrangeas are just now starting to bud out as we had a later spring. Thanks for sharing about the Christmas in July. I will have to take a look at that! Have a happy day! xoxo Kim

Love those pink lilies...something else I can't grow. WAAHHH!!!

Thank you for the sweet comments about my garden post...I always love it when you visit. We don't have many earwigs this year...but they have been an annoyance in the past. One year, we had so many we started naming them. "Wiggy" was a popular moniker. Original, aren't we?

Have a super weekend!

Kathy

Karen said...

Oh, Jil, your lillies are stunning. Mine aren't in bloom yet. Must get some this color for next year.

Hi Jil,

I love your flower pics -- the pink lilies and the hydrangeas. I do adore hydrangeas. Your pink flower-themed mugs are lovely as well.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and telling me the name of those flowers. I looked in my large flower book, and sure enough, they do indeed look like balloon flowers. I would never have guessed! I like to know the names of as many flowers as possible. I appreciate your kind comments on my post and hope that you have a great week!

Denise
