Simple Things Mean A Lot To Me!

It's the simple things that mean a lot to me!


Seeing flowers come to bloom and catching a glimpse of my little girl statue....


Seeing the beauty of a rose up close.....


Finding a flower on the Sweet Potato Vine that I didn't even know produced flowers!


Looking at this cute fairy sitting in a pottery piece....


Admiring the flower of the Allium....



Little glimpses of my fairy garden....



Putting these pictures together in a cluster I never imagined....
The larger picture was a gift from my son several years ago.  It's from Charleston, S.C....it's called the White Points Garden gazebo and is used for weddings quite frequently these days! I guess it's right in the historic district.  I'll have to get there one of these days and see it in person!
The two pictures above are of some lavender fields set in a very French scene that I've had for a while.  I've been moving things around and these came together quite by accident!  The frames ended up working together nicely and both pictures have the lavender color in them!  

I'm sure you agree, it's the simple things that can turn out to mean the most!

  1. I'm totally agree with your sentiments Liz. I am often in awe just walking around our garden.What a special gift from your son. You definitely need to see Charleston(and Savannah) some day soon. You should plan a trip in April when the Azaleas are blooming. Those two cities are full of gardens and great architecture.

  5. You couldn't be more right! The simple things mean so much in this life. Your flowers are gorgeous, especially that allium. (Is that technically an onion or flower or both? Hmmmmmm...) You have "the touch" when it comes to gardening! Beautiful arrangement of art on the wall. They work well together. You just never know, do ya? :-)

  6. You have such pretty garden you want to be there all day and day dream! Yes, I love to simple things in life too, like the home and things for it's embelishment and I love the "smell" the roses, as I get older I do it more often. I'm not interested in clothing or jewels as much as flowers, the home and family, as you are dearest Liz. Thanks for your visit, it always leaves a smile in my face. Hugs,

  12. Liz, yes I definately agree. Your garden and flowers are beautiful. Just a single bloom brings me such joy. I have to tell you, three years ago hubby and I vacationed in Charleston. I brought home a picture of my favorite home I saw while wandering the streets. I think it looks very similar to yours. Wonder if it came from the same place. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
    Hugs,
    Jann

It really speaks to my inner child. :) The allium is so pretty, too, and I don't remember ever seeing a sweet potato vine bloom, either. Thanks for sharing your garden. Hope you have a great week, Hugs, Babs

  17. Very beautiful Liz!~ I can see why your gardens are so sentimental to you. You are very much like my Mom in that regards. I think they are like her therapy and relaxation. For me, they are just the opposite, I get anxiety looking at my dead plants LOL!~ Hey we all have our own thing.

  18. I totally agree and what a lovely post. Your Allium is stunning. Is it hard to grow? I really don't have anywhere that gets full sun.
