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?;>)

Have a great day! xo Diana

Blogger Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

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.

Blogger Crystal Rose Cottage said...

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

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!

I love your posts! And watching the wedding details unfolding, too. My daughter is 19 right now with 5 more years of college in front of her -- but I've been taking notes from your blog! :)

I LIKE the way you garden!! Glass of Pinot Grigio works for me! Maybe my flowers will grow better if I start doing that. I think it's worth a try.

Congratulations on 300 posts! Wow!

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.
