Under The Rose Arbor

April 6, 2018~ Floral Friday, Uncategorized

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭150:6‬ ‭

Dear friends, welcome to Floral Friday!  I am so glad you are here for our third edition of floral inspiration!  Today Shirley, Lidy, Mary, and I are sharing flowers in canning jars. Be sure to scroll to the bottom where you will find my talented friends! 

It seems that the iconic jars have shown up everywhere over the past several years, especially at weddings.  The weather was beautiful last weekend, so I took the opportunity to take it outside. You are invited to join me under the rose arbor! 

  *

   Lady Banks Roses are in full bloom, but they only last a short time!  With their pretty yellow color, they became a part of Floral Friday!

 Using a trio of jars, two of them were filled with snowball blooms and Oriental lilies!

 The middle jar overflows with larkspur, lilac spider mums, and snowballs!

 I recently found the Nicole Miller floral tablecloth at TJ Maxx…with its soft pastels, it seemed to work perfectly!

 *

 The fragrance of the lilies filled the air.

 In the foreground is the head of one of the rusty iron statuaries that stands in front of the rose arbor.

 From this side of the arbor is a view of my Renaissance Man’s workshop!  

 With freeze warnings in the forecast, the delicate roses won’t survive.   But I am looking forward to the daylilies, coral roses, and hydrangeas blooming so I can share Floral Fridays in my garden. You will definitely be inspired by clicking the links of my very talented friends!

    Gorgeous Pam! I love the cascade of pretty yellow roses from your arbor! I can only imagine what a treat it would be to enjoy a morning cup coffee or evening cocktail by your arbor of blooms. My MIL had a beautiful LB that was a vigorous grower… don’t you wish the blooms would last longer? We finally planted one last year by a fence and I’m looking forward to a few blooms this spring if it doesn’t get zapped from a late freeze. I love your pretty jars filled your snowballs and lilies and blooming tablecloth! I’m looking forward to seeing it on one of your signature garden tables. Thank you for the beautiful start to my morning. It’s always a pleasure to join you for Floral Friday.♥

    I was pleasantly greeted with your post this morning since I had forgotten it was Floral Friday. Your tablet top vignette under your rose arbor is so pretty. I can smell the luscious scent of the asiatic lilies and am reminded of the beautiful pictures of my favorite city, Paris, seeing your book, Paris in Bloom.
    I love Lady Banks rose and it is a shame it doesn’t last longer. Your selection of flowers and tablecloth remind me of your creativity. Very lovely. Thank you for this beauty.

    I adore the blue Ball jars! I have a few that work well with my blue and white Chinese porcelain inside the house but look equally great on the screen porch full of zinnias! Your entire vignette looks ethereal under the bower of Lady Banks. Your yard is so incredible.

    My poor yard has been severely neglected since my accident last August. It got mowed and weed-eated, and that’s about it. I worked outside all day Wednesday, pruning the jungle. It was a glorious, warm day with the azaleas just beginning to burst forth, birds singing, sun shining. I felt terrific, completely healed, and blessed. Amazing! Awoke to 28 degrees on Thursday. It’s all good.

    Beautiful, Pam! I’m just a little green with envy of all the southern garden beauty you’re already enjoying. The Lady Banks roses are a perfect backdrop to the arrangements you’ve made on the table. Snowball viburnums have yet to bloom here, we’re still hanging on to daffodils, hyacinths and tulips in the landscape, but sure to have ours frozen this weekend too. I so enjoy these Friday Florals – such eye candy! Have a great weekend.

    What a fairy tale setting Pam, those yellow blooms cascading down, such a special spot, like the secret garden!! I can’t believe the temps are going to dip again, Mother Nature is being downright nasty this Spring! Did you grow the lilies too? A girl can never have too many jars or blooms as far as I’m concerned!! I am buying flowers today! You girls are such an inspiration, all the posts are fabulous!

Your arrangements are also so lovely and I am a huge fan of blue mason jars. To me, they are so cheerful and are especially nice for an outdoor setting ! Again, a beautiful post !

    Pam, I’m late to your garden party. I thought I had commented, then I realized that was in an email. Silly me! Your arbor is so beautiful, my back fence neighbor has a gorgeous Banks rose that fortunately likes to wander over the fence! So pretty, I too wish they bloomed longer. And I’m joining Shirley in her snowball envy, like hers, ours here in California are hanging on by a thread, all sticks and a few teensy leaves.

    You have such talent for creating beauty, friend. God has blessed us so with all this earthly beauty, and you have such a knack of transforming your home into a restful, lovely place for all who enter. (Even virtually) I am so thrilled to share Floral Friday’s with you, and wish you and Mr. Everyday Living a lovely weekend. xoxo Lidy

Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile.

The table is enhanced by views toward the mountain, woodlands, and the large Snowball Viburnum. The verdant rye grass appears as a green carpet that has been spread for Easter! Vintage Fitz and Floyd ‘Herb Garden’ teapots, sugar and creamer, and oval tray are suited for springtime with their embossed bows, vegetables, and words. A bouquet of Kwanzan Cherry blossoms add more spring color to the setting. 

I am serving a simple teatime with Earl Grey tea, savory egg salad filled phyllo cups, and sweet vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing, and macarons! A favorite cottage rose tablecloth and Essential napkins are by April Cornell.

We are most blessed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, being the source of new life, yet new life that is eternal. The beauty of this spring will again give way to another autumn in a few months, but the significance of His empty tomb will never change!

Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our woodlands and this is the first one of the season, an Easter/Spring table! I love all the sweet bunny decorations, but Easter is so much more. We celebrate Easter because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  His bodily resurrection enables all those who choose to follow Him to have assured victory over our greatest enemy…death!

 I look forward each year when some of my favorite blooms display their amazing beauty in our garden. Snowball viburnum in its full glory with large creamy white blooms. Climbing Lady Banks Rose is covered in hundreds of miniature yellow blooms cascading to the ground. An old-fashioned Bridal Wreath Spirea with its branches arching to the ground in a fountain-like growth habit is loaded with showy double white flowers in clusters of three to six that resemble a bride’s wreath. I still claim the Kwanzan Cherry tree even though it is now on our son’s property. Its ruffled pink double pink blossoms are some of my favorite blooms. All four of these blooms make up an arrangement with a few tulips from the grocery store. 

A fluffle of moss bunnies hopped up to the picnic table. A ‘Charming’ tablecloth with  Mary Lake-Thompson napkins and Williams Sonoma enchanting ‘Famille Rose’ bunny plates!

I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on m I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on my blog. My precious Daddy passed away peacefully on March 26th at the age of 94, surrounded by his beloved family! He was born during the depths of the Great Depression. That may have been part of the reason he was always content and loved the simple things. 

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1

After high school graduation he signed to play professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians Organization. His baseball career was cut short when he was drafted in the army. He was seriously wounded in the Korean War and was awarded a Purple Heart and two bronze stars. Upon returning home, he married my beautiful Mother and they shared 54 wonderful years together before she passed away suddenly. 

My brother and I grew up in a Christian home, bathed in love, calm, security, and contentment, under the care of the two finest parents anyone could have. Daddy was known as Pawpaw to his three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. 

My heart is broken, he was the best Daddy a girl could have. I know he is present with the Lord and I rejoice in that promise, knowing too, that my Mother is also in the eternal presence of our Heavenly Father. 

For more of my Daddy’s story, click the link in my bio.

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition of Tea on Tuesdays. My inspiration for teatime is the beautiful linens from @april.cornell With the celebration of their 50th anniversary, many Heritage Prints from the archives have returned. Eden is one of the beautiful patterns that has returned. It is a soft purple paradise where butterflies float, roses bloom, and soft sage leaves levitate. As an April Cornell Brand Ambassador, I was gifted these gorgeous linens! I have been a collector of @april.cornell linens for many years…the floral patterns resonate with my love of English Country. 

I am serving my favorite, Earl Gray tea, from an Eileen’s Reserve teapot. Teacups by Grace Teaware and vintage Rose Chintz salad plates by Johnson Brothers add more floral patterns to the mix. Japanese Magnolia blooms were cut from my garden and placed in a lilypad teapot!

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Sunshine Cottage whe Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy on this cold February day. It is Tea on Tuesdays and I have set a tea table with the “Blue Roses” collection that was a collaboration between @victoriamagazine and @april.cornell The exclusive porcelain pattern and matching linens have been used many times and I still enjoy their blue and white beauty. Instead of fresh flowers, porcelain ones require no arranging. Sweet treats pair perfectly with a traditional English Breakfast tea. I am joining friends Sarah @sjpa48 and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net

Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold days, we are experiencing a tease of spring with a 73 degree day that is forecast. After the gray and cloudy days, I needed a dose of color and decided to set a colorful citrus themed brunch! Using a bird gold and pewter stand, I mixed a citrus medley of lemons, oranges, and limes with pink and white carnations as the centerpiece. The table is highlighted with blue and white dishware. Fresh squeezed orange juice, French-pressed coffee and sweet treats of lemon poppyseed muffins, lemon cake with lemon icing, and lemon pastries are perfect for a small brunch. A faux lemon topiary belonged to my beloved Mother and seemed a perfect addition to a citrus-themed table!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluf Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluffing for Valentine’s Day! For many years my Sweetheart and I have celebrated February 14th at home where it is quiet, no reservations are required, and we always have a table by the window! 

I love the traditional colors of red and pink! Frilly carnations fill a vintage Staffordshire, ‘Charlotte’ pitcher which rests on an antique Limoges plate with a velvet gold-crowned heart. The plate stack consists of a Royal Stafford ‘Asiatic pheasant’ dinner plate, American Atelier ‘Baroque’ luncheon/salad plate, Johnson Brothers, ‘Winchester’ salad plate, and a vintage pierced Bavarian rose plate! I am a huge fan of mixing colors, patterns, and textures for a collected look. 

I have joined 17 table stylists for a Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. Click the LINK in my bio to see all of the Valentine inspiration!

Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I am serving my favorite tea, Earl Grey, in the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy! The magic of dancing sunlight enhances the table that is dressed with a warm tartan plaid throw repurposed as a tablecloth! ‘Winter Fauna’ bird salad plates from Pottery Barn (many years ago and now discontinued) remind me of the birds I watch from my kitchen window during the winter season. The Grace Teaware set adds more blue and white to the Spode ‘Blue Room’ dinner plates. Sweet treats were placed on a stack of Bordallo Pinheiro plates! A darling Hummel ‘Icy Adventure’ depicts a scene of an outdoor frozen pond with a pair of sweet ice skaters, a rosy cheeked boy and girl who have fallen down on the ice. I am sharing Tea on Tuesdays with Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net Link in my Bio will take you to my blog post! Stay warm and safe!
