Do you feel how quickly time is flying
by these days? I can hardly believe
the Hollyhocks are blooming already.
We have had a really beautiful month
of May and loved the fact that rain
came along. The hollyhocks are now
blooming so I set up a little tea in
the garden to celebrate. Please note
the table topper I found late last
summer which is a hollyhock embroidery
piece.
A while back I bid on some lovely
remnants of old velvet and I am
now just getting around to using
some. My tea cozy is a rich purple
and black and definitely so much
more like the way velvet used to be
back in the day.
As I cut some stems for my bouquet, the bees were not wanting to fly away from
the sprays I picked.
Here is a close up of the
topper embroidery.
These Hollyhocks are
all peach colored:
People ask me how I keep the yellow
fungus off the Hollyhocks. I definitely
get it but just keep cutting off the bottom
leaves where the most appears.
I am very attracted to old linens....
are you? Do you like English
transferware?
