I love roses. I can’t grow them in Florida and I don’t have the garden space in Maine. I buy them and I photograph them and just look at them. Fresh Market has delightful varieties and they last at least a week. The Gone with the Wind lamp belonged to my grandmother and I loved the lamp from the time I was a child. I am so happy to have it now. It casts a lovely glow in the room. The photograph is my parents’ wedding picture. The bisque figurine belonged to my grandmother as well.
I am joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday. Be sure to stop by and see Beverly and the other pinks. I am also linking to Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday. This will be the first time I have participated in this event. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Carol, great photographs and love the family pictures and lamp. I find that roses don't last very long with the central heating in the Winter but they do look beautiful when new and fresh.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Jackie in Surrey, UK.
Hi Carol ~ I can't grow roses either but I do enjoy them so very much. Thanks for sharing the photos of family heirlooms.
ReplyDeletei love roses! used to have it in my garden ~ few bushes but since I am going to move temporarily to my sis place while getting my home renovated makes me forget about my roses for a bit! thanks for sharing this beautiful roses! they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. I have a garden to grow them in but am just pitiful and grow knockouts only. have a terrific weekend. ♥O
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful beautiful blog...now I am in a hurry..we have to go to theater tonight (here is almost dinner time!!)...but I'm going to come back to visit you quilt Gallery...blessings, Flavia
ReplyDeleteCarol...as always, such stuning color and composition in photography! Thanks for following and commenting on SuKnitWitty and our Sweater Challenge. We would love for you to join us. I'm thinking of putting up a Linky with each post...which will usually be on Thursday. You could knit along with us each Wednesday and post your progress on the Linky. It doesn't have to be a sweater...just whatever you'd like. Gretchen is actually knitting a TeaCozy which I'll feature next week. It's a FairIsle pattern and so neat...I guess it could be a Teapot Sweater...LOL! I'll start the Linky next week....Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty rose, love the pink tinge around the edge of the petals.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend my dear.
I loved seeing the family heirlooms that you've shared with us today. The rose is so sweetly beautiful. It is perfect for pink Saturday. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

Hello there from a fellow Floridian! I cannot grow roses here either because it is too hot but I usually always have some in my home. I purchase them at the grocery or florist. I *adore* your Gone with the Wind lamp (my favorite movie). I love your blog. Whereabouts are you in FL???
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! I was at the grocery today, and I searched for some pretty cut blooms. But came home empty-handed.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Fresh Market is the place to go to get fresh flowers, bakery goods and crab cakes. Your photos are just lovely.

Carol, Another lovely post of beautiful flowers and memories!
ReplyDeleteI'm passing the Stylish Blogger Award to you because I think your blog is deserving!
Your blog is always a joy to visit and your talents are endless.
I hope you will pop over to our blog to accept this award.
Congratulations!

Carol....thank you for your sweet visit. Your roses are amazing. I grew up in Southern CA and we had roses everywhere, I guess I am surprised that you can't grow them in FL. We now live on the cold and windy plains of Nebraska and although roses grow here, they are a lot of work and I haven't taken the plunge. I enjoyed looking at your so much, I may have to add that to my spring *to-do* list :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
