Pam of GoldiLoo Woodworks had a great idea for her TDIPT sisters, to show a favorite thing of theirs.
I got to thinking what piece of furniture or painting or collectible would I rush out of the house with in case we got one of our Florida hurricanes this year. It was a bit overwhelming as I pretty much love all my stuff and could not pick one item Inside my house!
When my father passed away in 2005, I wanted to have a lil memory garden to honor him and in the corner of our yard I planted a lil rose bush. Since then I've lost a grandmother and two Boston Terriers and the corner patch grew. Throw in a vintage table and chairs, crazy old signs, wall pockets, etc.(some which are down now from the wind and rain we just went thru here in FL)and sunflowers or tomatoes, all on a blanket of mose rose, with little surprises here and there.
I guess my favorite thing is my garden area. Its a sweet place to have our cocktails and snacks or lunch and appreciate our blessings and those we love.
Oh and Henry loves to hunt lizards and lounge there as well.
Carol, your favorite space and everything in it is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tribute to your loved ones.
Henry is a lucky fella!
Thank you for giving us a peek.

I am madly in love with Henry!
Carol, your favorite thing is surely to be treasured! You've fixed it up so pretty, and it's screams Carol Roll Nostalgic Folk Art! It's you all the way, and your artistic flair shines brightly in your little corner nook of your yard, and it is so very inviting!
ReplyDeleteI would love to sit down in your garden spot, and have a drink, and good conversation with you.
Thank you for sharing, and your Henry is the cuest Boston I've ever laid eyes on!
Wow, between the roses and the tomatoes I want to live there!!!! I love your garden. You are so lucky to have such and beautiful space, but of course you need somewhere to rejuvenate!!!
