Rebecca's garden

As most of you know....
I could spend my every waking hour outside in the garden.


In the Winter...I look through seed and bulb catalogs
Design garden layouts
And dream of warmer days
This week I have had the opportunity to spend time in my dear friend Rebecca's gorgeous garden!

So beautiful!
Don't you think so too?
It has that..."Always been here" feel that I strive so hard to achieve.


She has so many amazing architectural pieces laying about as if they fell from their places a 100 years ago and here they sit.

I sat out on the sofa this morning and just breathed it all in.
I thought you would enjoy it as well!


We are going to start getting ready for the Bohemian Ball at Anne Marie's this evening so I must go for now...
But I will be back soon with some more pictures of my time here in Chicago.


But I just wanted to share Rebecca's garden before we left!



Have a wonderful rest of the afternoon!

  4. Total and complete gorgeousness. I need some serenity about now. That or a stiff drink.

    Wait.

    Could I have a stiff drink AND sit in that lovely garden? Is that allowed?

  5. I love this type of garden - very lacy,wispy and full of romance. The layers of soft white fabric on the table are just waiting for the champagne bubbles to flow.
