WELCOME FRIENDS from "The House in the Roses"
Show Me Your Garden Tour!
I hung a quilt on the railing......
Cuz I knew you were coming!
"Come sit on my porch with me
My drinks are cold & my friendship's free"
Fresh pink lemonade. Icy cold.
My favorite pink butterfly quilt..... in case you get chilly.
Railing planter filled with pink & purple petunias and snowflakes. Sorry they're not blooming.
All my flowers took a beating with the tornado winds
and flooding rain we had last week.
This is the extend of my garden. My cora belles are a beautiful purple hue.
Last week "Iris" was in bloom.
I wish she'd stay all summer!
Butterfly Quilts are my favorite. 
A summer x-stitched pillow made years ago.
An old pump I found at an antique sale.
My old chair holds a geranium. It did have blooms before the storms.
The wind chime is made from an old plate and blue glass.
Very vintage.
I love the mama bird feeding her babies.
Tea cup bird feeder. So easy to make.
My cup broke so I put a feeder ( bought at Michael's) on this one. Just as cute, don't ya think?
The stone reads "It takes a long time to grow an old friend". Tracey, A Cottage Industry, for hosting garden tours this week.
It was so much fun peeking over the fence and seeing
all the different garden spots.
Summer is officially here!
Hope you'll come back soon,
Thanks for sharing your welcoming garden. I enjoyed the visit.
