Hi Janie, congratulations on 300 beautiful posts! Please enter me in your generous giveaway... I would love to win that!... your hubby's rock garden is so pretty... that looks like Cincquefoil to me... and I love your pots of salmon colored petunias hanging on your porch... Little Milo is so cute, Tessy thinks he is related to her... enjoy your week, your weather looks beautiful. Oh yes, of course I am a faithful follower!... xoxo Julie Marie
Sounds like you had a busy weekend- I LOVE those little jars...great table numbering idea! I suppose they will be filled with flowers or something?
The salmon colored flowers are wonderful with the color of your place. Perfect. I don't even have my baskets planted yet this year...is that awful, or what?
Milo is comical- I'll bet he is the "star" in your house!
I will do a post about your giveaway on my blog-maybe tomorrow. Don't sign me up though...I have been the recipient of way too many things lately- and the guilt gets me, you know?;>)
Well, you know I'm a follower, Jane, and my comment is that I wish I could plant impatients! My property is too sunny and unless I water every single day, they shrivel up. I do better with petunias and I tried lantana last year {which just took off even in the humidity!}.
300 ... good job. Who knew we had so much to say when we all started our blogs. Now you can't shut us...I mean me...up. The color of the flowers is perfect. Make sure you are not kind to your wisteria or it won't bloom. They like things tough. Some people even prune the roots to get blooms to come out. Kind of drastic in my opinion especially since yours is still young.
I love the color combination of salmon and white! I almost always every season have to have it in my garden color scheme. Alot of pink and I never buy red....if there is anything red like.. it still has pink or blue undertones. Your lake cottage is darling! I love the hanging pots on your front porch! Have fun at the showers!~Hugs, Patti
Congratulations on 300 posts. I am fast approaching 400 and got to think of something to celebrate it with ! Your hanging baskets look pretty and those steps are great for putting pots on!!
Congrats on the 300. My wisteria has already come and gone a long time ago. Mine is on my back fence and it was wonderful. I think we are going to really cut it back this fall. Love the hanging pots. Please enter me. Kathy
Congrats on 300 posts! That's a fabulous giveaway! I love the front of your lake house. I don't remember seeing it before. The paint color is so calming and serene. The flowers are going to really add the perfect touch. I love the little jars too!
I love the colors you chose, they are beautiful against the house. I can't wait to see it with the wisteria all grown up and in bloom, it's going to be gorgeous! Congrats on 300 posts. And you know I would follow you anywhere :) Hugs, Kat
Jane, Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers and lake house with all of us...I LOVE your front porch!!! Congrats on #300 and as you know...I'm a happy follower:) Have fun at the shower...our next one is on the 24th. Taking bridal pics today outside at 6:30 pm...wish us luck in all this heat down here:)
Love the rock garden - great idea - can't wait to create my own. Please enter me in your giveaway - and here's to the next 300 posts!! Gia2366@gmail.com
Hi Sweetie! Congrulations on your 300th post. I would love to be entered in your generous givaway. Your choice of color for the baskets is perfect against the backdrop of your house. And, the numbered jars for the tables are really a creative idea. Have fun at the shower this weekend! Hugs!
Congrats on 300 posts! I love your flowers and that color scheme is wonderful. Your husbands rock garden is so cute. I went with lots of purples this year on my deck garden and it's pretty. Now if I can get home and take some photos I will share them. You know I'm a follower and thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway. Hugs, Linda
Jane, it is wonderful that you have written 300 posts and thanks for the give-a-way. I find a certain peace when planting and working in my flower garden and it sounds as if you do to. The salmon and white flowers are very pretty together. It is so hot here I am having an awful time keeping my plants watered. The jars are beyond charming! hugs♥O
Don't you just love working outside, digging in the dirt and enjoying all your handiwork! PS - South Texas would gladly take some of your rain (if only it were that easy!)
The wedding decor is wonderful and coming along quickly. I too am adding color to the yard and trying to get ahead of the broken sprinklers and raging heat heading our way. I wish I had a lake to jump into at the end of the day to cool off.

Congratulations on 300 posts, Jane!
I love that shot of your porch. Beautiful!! I also love your happy hour idea.:-)
I'm new to your blog this week, so....300 posts! I've a lot of catching up to do! Congratulations on that! Love your front porch, so cozy and welcoming. I love weddings so will be following the details!
Great giveaway Jane but i cannot enter since there is no Pottery Barn around here!! Your cottage is so pretty! I don't want to burst your bubble but if wisteria doesn't bloom the first year then that means it will be 7yrs before it blooms! I planted one at my old house. It covered the porch beautifully but never , ever bloomed. Well the seventh year of having it was the summer we moved. That summer my neighbour called me at my new house and said my wisteria was in full bloom!!! lol !!! I was told by a professional at a nursery tnat they can take 7yrs to bloom and he was right!!
300 posts - well done! Those jars are wonderful - can't wait to see how they are used! I am looking forward to seeing all of the flowers filling out at the summer goes on and, you're right, the salmon is definitely perfect with the color of your house. Does Milo like to smell the flowers? Our Chloe love to put her nose in the geraniums!
Hi Jane, the porch with the hanging baskets is fabulous - love the color! Cute jars with numbers - very clever. Congrats on #300 post - way to go! I've been a follower for quite a while, and that's a very generous PB gift you are offering...who wouldn't love it?! Linda
Jane, A big congratulations to you for 300 posts! What an accomplishment! I am a happy follower! I love those sweet jars with chalkboard paint. Adorable! I am excited to see what you are going to put in them for the wedding. Yvonne
Congrats on 300 posts Jane! Thanks for the fun give-away, I'll add it to my sidebar. I follow:@) Sounds like you had a great weekend, love your flowers! The jars are so cute too, they'll look great on the tables:@)
Cheers! You guys have been so busy!! I just love the chalk pain on the jars idea. That one goes in my book. They really looked so nice. Now, I would love to see them filled! My Potters sends hugs to Milo. He-He. Debi
Hi Janie...Congrats on your 300 posts. I'm a follower. I'm anxious to see more pictures of showers and the wedding. I love all the homemade things that you are doing together. I think that the plant with the variagated leaves is Lamium. I have it in my front garden and it creeps and fills in all the open spots. I love it. Balisha
Milo is so cute and so are the jars. Is daughter getting married? I must have missed a post :( I would love to win the giftcard and you know I am a follower :)
Your baskets look gorgeous and the wave runners look very tempting. I'm impressed you are able to stay on task while knowing they are waiting for you at the dock.
The jars Emily painted are very pretty I love chalkboard paint.
Loving your color combination Jane ~ I usually stick with certain colors but this year I mixed them up ~ I AM a rebel! Lots of work at the lake but you will be able to enjoy your summer. Have a great week-end and throw my name in the hat for the draw ~ there is not a Pottery Barn here but they have a website!! xo
Hi Janie, Congrats on your milestone! What a very nice giveaway. Please include my name. I am also a follower. :)
Your pictures are so sweet. Love the house and your salmon flowers. I am leaning towards those colors too. I've always loved red but this year I've added some different colors to mix in.
The little table top wedding jars are just precious. What a fun idea!
First of all - your porch is so very pretty - so welcoming! I'm following all the great wedding ideas - love that you're doing all the research for me! I've never been to Pottery Barn, but I'd go to the one in Seattle in July if I had a gift card!...and I'm a follower.
Wow, 300 posts is amazing! Congratulations. I love the salmon colored petunias. They are the perfect color for your house and it looks like you have a great spot to hang them. The chalk paint jars are a great idea as well. I am a follower and hope to win your generous giveaway!!! Take care, Connie
Your lake cottage is so pretty, Blondie. The flowers hanging on the porch make it seem so welcoming. Love the little numbered jars. AND, THANKS for this generous giveaway. Please add my name to the hat...Pottery Barn ALWAYS has something I am dying for. :) And, I've been a follower for a loooong time.:) xo bj

Hi Jane! 300 is a big number, congrats girl! Love your salmon pinks...there's nothing like a day of planting and more planting for me....heaven! The jars for the wedding are just adorable!
I love your little rock garden! I've always been drawn to sweet little plants and flowers. I can imagine how wonderful it's going to look when it fills in. The jars for the wedding look great and Congratulations on 300 posts!
What a great giveaway! That would be fun to win! I love the salmon flowers and you were right, they look great with the house. Just knowing I had a place to go to the lake would relax me right now! We are actually taking our "replacement" vacation soon. I hope the weather cooperates. The jars are great! Very clever.
Congrats on 300 posts!! I think I have like....12! I need to get busy! We have been to the lake the last two weekends but it is HOT HOT HOT down here! Upper 90's and into the triple digits! It is only JUNE!!!
Love the jars for the tables!! Everything is looking beautiful!
number 1 Jane I can't believe I wasn't a follower of your blog! I am sorry I over looked that little detail but to my defense I think blogger messed up because you have been on my sidebar forever :) Sounds like you have been very busy! Your flowers look fabulous and the water looks fun! Blessings today Rebecca
Hey Janie Girl! I love those jars with the chalkboard paint and the table numbers written on them. They will look so cute on the tabletops. I was busy buying more plants today. It's hot and humid out so I may wait til tomorrow to plant the pots. I snagged 2 at some yard sales. I'll show them WHEN I get done planting. I'm really trying to keep things alive this year. LOL The lake house looks so cute. Yup, pots on the steps will add great color and interest. Please put my name in the hat for your give-away! Man- you have had a lot to say with 300 posts. *grin* I plug along and post when I can. Stay cool! xo Sue
What a great giveaway...I'm a happy follower. Can't believe the sand...what a guy to take care of all that! Hope you have had time to get out on the water...don't work so hard!

Great giveaway - please count me in! I always keep up with your blog, but was not an "official" followe. Now I am. :-) I love your salmon-colored flowers. I'm assuming the porch picture is of your lake house?
Hi Janie! What a sweet cottage you have! I love the colors! Salmon and white was a great choice for sure. :) Congrats on the big 300, friend! I'm so glad that we met here in blogland, and am looking forward to your next 300. lol! That little green/white plant in your rock garden looks like "Dead Nettle" to me. Can't remember the true name, but that's what I know it as. :) Love the jar idea for the wedding, too! So creative! Have a great weekend at the lake with your vino!
Jane, congratulations on 300 posts. All the wedding events must be exciting. Enjoy! The salmon petunias are perfect for the porch entrance. Just beautiful. ~ Sarah

Jane I have been a follower of your blog 4EVER!!!! As you know I think we were both new to blogging when we found each other. The thing I remember most... is when I would show flowers on my posts in March & April you would always say... "I live through you because we're still covered in snow" Which I would then remind you to enjoy the season because when you had flowers we were cooking"... Well here you are planitng flowers & it's nice up there & we are into day 4 of over 100 degrees. ENJOY the moment my firend & I would LOVE to win your give away. But, even if I don't... thank you for doing one & congrats on 300 Posts! HUGS! A long rime fan Charlene

Hi Blondie, Congrats on the 300 milestone. I am a recent follower and first heard about you from Comforts of Home. We have a summer home in the mts. of NC. Regards, dgmills@tampabay.rr.com
Holy cow, you have 90 comments already!! Anyway I just wanted to say that the flowers look great, and that it took years for our wisteria to bloom...then the new owners chopped it down. Ugh,I think they look so romantic dripping with their purple blooms.

Ya'll have a great visit with Cindy and Dan this weekend! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Oh thank you so much for this chance to win a PB card. I have a few things in mind from there for my daughter's room redo so my fingers, toes, legs, and arms are all crossed. Thanks so much! (Oh and I just became a follower!)
Hi, Just found your blog. Your porch looks so wonderfully inviting. Just a tip about Wisteria. If it doesn't bloom after you've had it 5 years; give in a good jab at the roots with a shovel. Sometimes it just needs a little shock to get it motivated. This really does work. I love PB and would love to be included in your give-away. I too am looking forward to doing a give-away. Mine will be for my first 100 followers. I am now following you.
Your selection of color for the baskets is perfect against the backdrop of your house. And, the numbered jars for the tables are really a fantastic idea. christian counseling
Your website is so inspiring. I have had a bad day and decided to sit and take a break and search the net and I came across your site and when the music started playing--i was so relaxed. Thank you and God Bless!

[Image]I want to start this post by telling all of you that I hit my 300th post and I want to celebrate. So...I am giving away a gift card to Pottery Barn for $50.00. All you have to do is be a follower of my blog and leave a comment. Simple!
On to the good stuff. I made it to our nursery on Sunday and bought some beautiful flowers and ferns for the garden. I planted pots most of the day. Every year I'm drawn to a certain color scheme and this year it was salmon pink and white. I think they go well with the color of the house. [Image]As I worked straight into the dinner hour, I decided it was Happy Hour. How refreshing is a glass of Pinot Grigio while you hum away when you work? [Image]This is The Husband's little rock garden. I can't remember the name of the plant he used in it but soon it will be overflowing [Image]We had 4 yards of sand delivered. Most of it will be shoveled into the water to add to the sandy bottom and the rest will replenish the beach. It is really hard work and The Husband enjoys it. ;-D [Image]The wave runners were brought out of the garage finally and we are ready to get out on to the lake. The work keeps slowing us down though. [Image]Milo casually observes all that is going on around him. [Image]I hung salmon colored petunias on the front porch. The wisteria is growing wild but I haven't got any blooms yet. It's still too young, I guess. Soon it will grow straight up to the balcony and I doubt I will be able to hang baskets. Pots on the steps will be good. [Image]Over the weekend, Emily worked on more details for the wedding. These jars were made with chalkboard paint and a chalk marker. [Image]I think they turned out darling.
So that was my weekend. Busy as usual. I'm planting flowers here today {if the rain lets up} and then we have another shower to go to on Friday night. I think they are so much fun. Then it is back up to the lake, hopefully to relax.
Thanks for following along and good luck in the giveaway. Spread the word on your blog if you'd like . I will pick a winner in about a week or so. Have a great day! :-)

June 15, 2011 at 8:32 AM
Well, you know I'm a follower, Jane, and my comment is that I wish I could plant impatients! My property is too sunny and unless I water every single day, they shrivel up. I do better with petunias and I tried lantana last year {which just took off even in the humidity!}.
June 15, 2011 at 8:36 AM
300 ... good job. Who knew we had so much to say when we all started our blogs. Now you can't shut us...I mean me...up.
The color of the flowers is perfect. Make sure you are not kind to your wisteria or it won't bloom. They like things tough. Some people even prune the roots to get blooms to come out. Kind of drastic in my opinion especially since yours is still young.

Jane, it is wonderful that you have written 300 posts and thanks for the give-a-way. I find a certain peace when planting and working in my flower garden and it sounds as if you do to. The salmon and white flowers are very pretty together. It is so hot here I am having an awful time keeping my plants watered. The jars are beyond charming! hugs♥O

Hi dear Jane.....looks like you are busy feathering you beautiful nest. It looks lovely.
This is certainly a most gracious give away....no need to enter me....as we are traveling...and I'm sure no one will ever be able to find me. LOL

The wedding decor is wonderful and coming along quickly.
I too am adding color to the yard and trying to get ahead of the broken sprinklers and raging heat heading our way. I wish I had a lake to jump into at the end of the day to cool off.

Great giveaway Jane but i cannot enter since there is no Pottery Barn around here!!
Your cottage is so pretty! I don't want to burst your bubble but if wisteria doesn't bloom the first year then that means it will be 7yrs before it blooms! I planted one at my old house. It covered the porch beautifully but never , ever bloomed. Well the seventh year of having it was the summer we moved. That summer my neighbour called me at my new house and said my wisteria was in full bloom!!! lol !!! I was told by a professional at a nursery tnat they can take 7yrs to bloom and he was right!!

300 posts - well done! Those jars are wonderful - can't wait to see how they are used! I am looking forward to seeing all of the flowers filling out at the summer goes on and, you're right, the salmon is definitely perfect with the color of your house. Does Milo like to smell the flowers? Our Chloe love to put her nose in the geraniums!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Janie...Congrats on your 300 posts. I'm a follower.
I'm anxious to see more pictures of showers and the wedding. I love all the homemade things that you are doing together.
I think that the plant with the variagated leaves is Lamium. I have it in my front garden and it creeps and fills in all the open spots. I love it.

Hey Janie Girl! I love those jars with the chalkboard paint and the table numbers written on them. They will look so cute on the tabletops. I was busy buying more plants today. It's hot and humid out so I may wait til tomorrow to plant the pots. I snagged 2 at some yard sales. I'll show them WHEN I get done planting. I'm really trying to keep things alive this year. LOL The lake house looks so cute. Yup, pots on the steps will add great color and interest. Please put my name in the hat for your give-away! Man- you have had a lot to say with 300 posts. *grin*
I plug along and post when I can. Stay cool! xo Sue

I'm so glad that we met here in blogland, and am looking forward to your next 300. lol! That little green/white plant in your rock garden looks like "Dead Nettle" to me. Can't remember the true name, but that's what I know it as. :) Love the jar idea for the wedding, too! So creative! Have a great weekend at the lake with your vino!

"I live through you because we're still covered in snow" Which I would then remind you to enjoy the season because when you had flowers we were cooking"... Well here you are planitng flowers & it's nice up there & we are into day 4 of over 100 degrees. ENJOY the moment my firend & I would LOVE to win your give away.

How very sweet of you...to do such a great gift giveaway in honor of your accomplishments! Ohh yes...please throw my name in the giveaway pot...I would love a gift certificate to PB!!!
Well dear friend, your lake house is really looking awesome! I had a place on lake Corpus Christi for 20 yrs. We had to Keep up with seawalls and piers...so I certainly do understand the work that is involved. But it's sooo worth it! There is nothing like a great lake-side view! Ya'll have a great visit with Cindy and Dan this weekend! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Love ya,

Hi,
Just found your blog. Your porch looks so wonderfully inviting. Just a tip about Wisteria. If it doesn't bloom after you've had it 5 years; give in a good jab at the roots with a shovel. Sometimes it just needs a little shock to get it motivated. This really does work. I love PB and would love to be included in your give-away. I too am looking forward to doing a give-away. Mine will be for my first 100 followers. I am now following you.

Your selection of color for the baskets is perfect against the backdrop of your house. And, the numbered jars for the tables are really a fantastic idea.

Your website is so inspiring. I have had a bad day and decided to sit and take a break and search the net and I came across your site and when the music started playing--i was so relaxed. Thank you and God Bless!
