So many things I always want.. thank goodness I always have my car and no room for lots of things! Those lavender fields are gorgeous... we have a lavender farm right here in central Oregon... I've only visited once and it was "off season". I think the time to go she said is in August, so I must mark my calender! I can imagine how fragrant it would be. Your photos as always, are wonderful and so inviting.. I want to sit there in the shade and stitch along with you! Hugs..

Perhaps we can switch things up a little soon. The lavender fields are lovely. I have several plants and the bees are so busy in them just now, which bodes well for lots of honey for those who keep hives.

I could do a lot of dreaming under that tree.<br />I have had problems trying to grow delphiniums also, such a sweet flower, and I love that shade of blue.<br />I always look forward to seeing pictures of the amazing places you visit. Would love to wander through that lavender field and the antique center.<br />Thank you for sharing.<br />Mickie, Indiana USA<br />Mickienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-61105276899900943752018-07-04T00:39:58.110+01:002018-07-04T00:39:58.110+01:00Hello my friend, such pretty photos and the pastel...Hello my friend, such pretty photos and the pastel colors are so evocative of summer. Did you succumb to anything in the antique store? I rarely leave one without at least one treasure. I'm glad you're having such nice weather. We are having a perfect day today and I think tomorrow will be the same for our 4th of July of July parade and BBQ on our deck.

I meant to mention that I bought a new delphinium a couple of weeks ago and it had a round rough textured mat around it in the pot which I assume was there to protect it from pesky slugs and snails!! When I transferred it to the garden I put it around the bottom of the stem and to date I've not had any trouble, fingers crossed it stays like that.greenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-36789657724327290192018-07-03T23:52:12.367+01:002018-07-03T23:52:12.367+01:00I love the idea of a little ladybird painted on ea...I love the idea of a little ladybird painted on each design! :)<br />What a beautiful posy Helen, could there be a more perfect gift. :)<br />Love those pretty peonies...and gorgeous strawberries both stitched and real!!greenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-85513112490656444762018-07-03T21:15:21.809+01:002018-07-03T21:15:21.809+01:00My ancestors are from England and Ireland.
