Vintage linen and a spring garden

A recently purchased vintage linen with exquisite crocheted edge
is sprucing up the top of my microwave.
I love my eclectic display
and my african violet is so pretty when it flowers
Outside, spring has sprung and our lavender walk is blooming!
 
This corner of the garden has lavender, shrubs and bearded iris' that all flower in shades of purple
Our pretty climbing pink rose is full of buds and is growing over the arch quite quickly. Hubby now says he wishes he had bought 2 so the arch would be covered quicker. I think it will be complete by the end of summer.
Gordon likes to be photographed I'm sure.
This is his sister Edie, the best mouser in the street.
You would never know they are siblings as they look nothing alike.
Gordon is better friends with our scottish terrier than his sister, as she is a bit of a loner. She does however love my husband and I, just not other animals it would seem.
Thanks for visiting.
Leave me a comment I'd love to hear from you.

Our scottish terrier, Liza, would like to show you around our garden.



Bee on Lavender


Plum Blossoms


More Plum Blossoms


Goldfish pot with wire lid,
no more stolen goldfish...
To all you cats & birds, sorry...
NOT!


Hoping to replace these crooked
stepping pavers soon,
they were here when we bought
the house 2 yrs ago


Bought these Australian Magpie garden ornaments in Canberra a couple of years ago, they are made from pre-loved corrugated iron..I just love them & when we 1st got them our dog actually thought they were real...
funny story!


Our outdoor area,
Aussie rustic style.


Bench style seat made by DH
a couple of weeks ago.
We got this timber from the end
of the street where a neighbour
had dismantled an old cattle loading ramp.


Bird Cage with ornamental bird
I could never cage a bird, even feel guilty about this fake one being caged.



Hope you have enjoyed the tour
of our spring garden.
It's a lovely time of year.
Still cool days and cold nights
but all around
the plants are blooming.
We take full advantage of this type of weather because soon the long days will be hot & rapidly becoming hotter....
YUK!

So for now it's goodbye from us
and our scotty,
Liza.

The fruit of the spirit is in all goodness.
