Linda Tongate Seibert I look forward to reading your blog…it brightens my day! I love the pedestal urn…I can see it filled with tulips in my dining room.

The original painting by Michele goes to…….

I love the cherub statue – it would be so sweet in my garden, or my living room.

The greens you’ve shown are gorgeous – so many shades – it’s hard to pick a favourite. I do like the silvery celadon and fresh crisp apple, oh and the fern greens! 

 The wicker clutch goes to…….
Cindy Rubin OMG. I am dying over the cute clutch, I absolutely need it for mothers day!!!! HappyMothers day to you too! Thanks for making every day I get a BLOGfrom you — A MORE BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

Please contact me here to provide me your shipping details……..

These weeks are flying by. I can’t believe Mothers Day is tomorrow..then it will be Memorial Day then we will be in the throes of summer and will then start to see back to school supplies and winter coats before you know it! Times flies when we are having fun…..hope you have had a great week.

Mine has been busy, its a crazy time of year as the school year is almost wrapping up and my many house projects as much as I try to get them off the ground somehow like a stalled engine keep stalling. I keep telling myself that as the summer gets underway, that hopefully time will start slowing down, I can catch my breath and finally make a real dent in things I want to get done!!

Around here. I love that everything is turning green AT LAST!! Isn’t it wonderful seeing everything finally come to life! I started doing a little planting and you know I love my white flowers……

 Mr. Teddy pondering “life”

 Oops…looks like I disturbed him!

 These are planters from my online line which I am crazy about…they look old but best part I can lift them with one hand!

 And this one too! Pretty, huh?

 Tried it on top of my brick columns for now…..

 Adore this great big one too..filled with beautiful hydrangeas!

 And the small one is perfect for orchids…..

Put them both up for now and took this with my iPhone

If you have been coming here for any length of time you know I LOVE stationary. I am always coming up with reasons to buy it. I found something at the bottom of a long neglected drawer that was so pretty, it got my attention and had me on the website of the company, Gratitude and Co. (love the name don’t you)? I am in love with their gorgeous monogram note cards, their square oversized cards, gorgeous images and even wrapping paper and beautiful pencils (which I must have)! You know I love to share…so check them out. Click here to visit their beautiful site.

Showhouses….love them! I went to one locally last week and was able to snap a few pictures. I  was admittedly slightly underwhelmed overall but it was a beautiful stately old home and I did like some of the rooms, here are some highlights (so so quality, blame it on my iPhone)!

Say hello to my newest member of the ginger jar family! Isn’t she an absolute beauty? I love the antiquing  that has been applied, looks like an exquisite old jar. I have a limited number of these (8 pieces total). An unusual square shape makes this jar a gorgeous collectible to add to your favorite blue and white vignette.As of today up on my online shop , click here.

So that’s whats new over here. Wrapping up another busy week….heading out for a long power walk this morning before the rain hits! Hope whatever you are doing this weekend is wonderful and relaxing, have a small “Mothers Day” post planned for  tomorrow so will wish everyone the happiest Mothers Day possible then. Thanks as always for stopping in!

PS Saw The Great Gatsby last night…I loved it. My husband much preferred the original…yes this was a total fantasy to be sure but that’s part of the fun, partly why we escape to the movies right? I thought it was wonderfully done, a colorful movie, both literally and figuratively with some truly breathtaking stage sets…..so go see it (but be prepared for looooong lines)!

Your home and grounds continue to inspire! I think even your sweet dog was taking in the scenery! This is such a gorgeous time of year as all comes alive again! I love the shadows you captured as you were photographing your delightful urns. How was The Great Gatsby?

Ah Tina I have missed your blog this past month but I’m back and ready to enjoy seeing all your highlights. Your yard and planters are stunning as always. I just had the husband haul an extremely heavy planter to a part of our yard and he complained the entire time he was carrying it. Time to see if you have some light weight ones the sizes I need. Everything is beautiful as always!Dylan like Teddy is happy to see the snow gone and green under his feet.

Love your random musings Tina, my favorite posts I think, those planters are incredible and of course having a yard/house like yours certainly helps enhance the beauty! I cannot believe they are lightweight, looks like old stone.
How fun to see Teddy again. We are going to see The Great Gatsby this afternoon and I cannot wait, looks so entertaining.
We are leaving to go away for a few days tomorrow so will wish you now a most happy Mothers Day! Hope you get to do something fun.

TINA!

OK, you have your WHITE FLOWERS OUT! That is my color scheme against my lush boxwood hedges! Everything is looking good, and I see INSPECTOR TEDDY is making sure the grounds are set! teehee…he is NOT to be disturbed!

The patio looks fabulous. We too are finally getting our green back and the birds are happy, as well as the rabbits and other various creatures we enjoy.

YOU ARE SO LUCKY that you have sold all your goods. You are such a blessing in your enthusiasm, encouragement (your comment weeks ago made me put my comments back!) and your generosity to us. Wishing you a well-deserved Mother’s Day celebration tomorrow! Anita

Tina- I love all the items you sold especially the antlers and sure hope to buy a pair next go around.
Your yard looks amazing and I think those planters are as pretty as they come.
Hope you have a great Mothers Day and get to put your feet up and relax, you give so much joy to so many…you deserve a day of rest:-)

PS Love the new ginger jar.

I am going see The Great Gastby tonight and cannot wait. I love your property, so beautiful and the flowers and urns are the finishing touch.
All your new things are also fabulous, especially the antlers, crystal urns (which I ordered and cannot wait to get) and those dogs. You really have incredible taste Tina.
I hope you have a great Mothers Day planned.

Hi Tina,

I received the beautiful horn spreaders! Thank you so much – I LOVE them. I’ll send you a photo of them in my rustic country house…where they fit in perfectly!

Happy Mother’s day!

Emily @ Town And Country Shuffle

Tina,
All of your pots look fabulous!!!! And, I love, love a good show house! Excited to see the Great Gatsby….have a fun Gatsby party to attend tonight. Channeling my inner flapper!!

Wishing you a very happy Mother’s Day!!
xoxo Elizabeth

Hi Tina, ..love the random musings! I’m happy to see all the sunshine and flowers displayed in your beautiful containers. They are perfect around the house ~ inside and out. The stationary is SO pretty! Thank you for sharing your source and providing the link. I’m so excited to see the Great Gatsby. Going by the reviews, I can see it will be quite a bit different from the original but I’m sure I’ll still like it.

Have a fun weekend and have a wonderful Mother’s Day!! xxleslie

Your containers are wonderful, Tina. I love the pedestals too. Everything you do makes me happy and that Teddy…he’s precious. Have a wonderful day tomorrow with your family. I’m heading out to see Gatsby, but all the reviews have been horrible saying it’s a hyper movie and a shame to take such a story and amp it up so. We will see. xx’s

Always fun to see what Tina is up too!! Love your random post! A very Happy Mothers Day to YOU tomorrow, rest, relax and enjoy your day.

There’s nothing nicer than seeing your dear Teddy out enjoying the springtime sunshine. He looks so happy! The planters are beautiful Tina, and the hydrangea….bliss in a picture, even better in person. As far as Gatsby goes….I fear it has become a monster merchandising vehicle (Brooks Brothers, Prada, Tiffany, etc.) and not a lot of movie behind the curtain, in a manner of speaking. I do hope you enjoy it though!

Lots to love here from all your beautiful new items to the gorgeous stationary line to the wonderful planters with your white flowers, all of it so pretty! Teddy looks so cute just hanging out. Happy Mothers Day Tina.

Hi Tina!! I know Teddy must have enjoyed the sunshine last week and must not be very happy with this nasty rain today! He is such a beautiful dog!

Where was the showhouse? They are fun to go to, but so often they are just too over the top.

We are seeing Gatsby tonight…it is one of my favorite books so it will be hard act to live up to.

Happy early Mother’s Day! xoxo

Your planters look beautiful!!! My favorite room in the Show house is the little girls room. If they want a true show house they should show up at your front door. Thanks for the review on Gatsby.. I’m going with my book club on Fri. Have a wonderful Mothers Day, Tina!!

The planters that you display are exactly what i have around my grounds. An artist friend of mine
that does the art work for some of the design firms, graciously completed mine in his own vision.

Much acknowledgement has been bestowed for his works. I am so pleased! And yes, so true….a slight
use of one hand for lifting allows movement to locations unknown. Sel

Wow, so much fabulousness! First of all Happy Mothers Day! I share your passion for stationary and cannot wait to see what else Gratitude has to offer, what pretty designs. Swing by the market, I just found some fun personalized stationary at my local Papyrus store that can be personalized in 20 minutes – I * kid * you * not!

LOVE the antlers – are they resin?? And the crystal urns. How do I go about shopping for them??

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Dear Tina!!
So happy for the winners of you exciting giveaway!
Your sales are amazing..what a great business you’ve gone into with the best finds ever!
Happy Mother’s Day!
