Hello blogging friends,

I am so SORRY that I have not been by to visit you all, I miss my routine of drinking my coffee while reading all of your lovely blogs. I have been so busy I feel like I am going nuts. I have so much I want to blog about but I need to take the rest of the week off. I will be back Monday to post. I am hoping that I can find the time visit you all before then.
God Bless,

Hello

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage


It has been such a busy week for me. My mother in law came home from the hospital so we have been going back and forth in between work and baby sitting. She is doing much better, everyday she gets a bit stronger. I have manage to start a big project in the middle of all that's going on. I am done but not ready to take pictures. We have been cleaning out my mother in law's garage and my sister in law gave me a patio swing so as soon as I get it up I will show pictures, I need to paint it first. When I was outside working on my project I just looked up and there was the hummingbird drinking out of my fountain, it put a smile on my face because that's the main reason why I put it up.I hope everyone is well. I am off to visit everyone.

Thrift Store Memories

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

When I was about 15 years old I went to my first thrift store. My grandma is the one that took me to this wonderful store. I think I might of been in heaven. At 15 I already liked cottage things and had a hope chest also so I would buy things here and there. I found a saucer that day at the thrift store, it is like the plate below. I LOVE this plate. I have moved at least 8 or more times since I was 15 and I still have this plate. I am on the look out to buy more.
OH! I just love this sugar bowl. I signed up with a company and they will email me when they get any of these precious dishes in.
Do you like to go to thrift stores? Please tell me about your first thrift store experience. My husband is not to fond of them, he always says he needs to take a shower after he has been to one. Matter a fact he will NOT go with me at all any more (SO SAD)
I take after my grandma in so many ways, matter a fact I am much more like my grandma on my dads side than I am like my mom. I miss her! She taught me so much about domestic things. She had the best sheets EVER they were percale cotton,she told me at a young age about how to buy sheets. Back then it was just percale cotton no thread count. To this day I can not find sheets like it. Well this post was suppose to be about a special dish I don't know how it got to sheets!
Have a wonderful weekend my dear blogging buddies,

How I got started blogging

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage


I just thought it would be fun to share how I started blogging and to hear how and why you started to blog. Hear is my story, I was looking for something on line to do with my garden and came across this web page http://carolsgarden.blogspot.com/ at the time I did not even know what blogging was. When I opened up the page my mouth dropped I was in a beautiful garden. I am not very good on the computer so when I opened it I was so AFRAID I was NEVER~~ EVER going find it again, I think I book marked it like 3 times to make sure. Then I was looking at her side bar and stared to click on her favorite blogs, I had know idea they were other blogs. I didn't even know they were blogs. After I explored in the blog world that was it, count me in. Most of my friends are not too much into there homes and garden like I am so I feel so blessed that I have gotten to meet other women who have a passion for there homes and garden like I do. I would love to hear how you got started blogging so please share your story!

Have a wonderful day,

ginger

Some pictures of this and that

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

I found these coaster in Palm springs last time we went. I feel in love with them, they are glass so I put them up against these white towel so you could see. They were only 3.99 for 4 and I did need them. One of my best friends bought me this gift, it was one of those
just because gifts. It is SO~~~~~~~~~ ME! I LOVE IT. I thought that was so kind of her to think of me.


Here is an updated picture of my Queen Ann's lace. I smile every time I walk by it.

This is my new garden hat! I needed a new hat so BAD! And a little of it was a want as well. I showed my 4 year old grandson my new hat and this is what he said , You have got to be kidding me! Don't you just love honesty!
I was going to order me some super cute garden shoes with ladybugs on them but I found these at Target and the price was perfect so the ladybug garden shoes will have to wait until I need garden shoes again.

Here are some new pictures of my Hydrangea's. I have the lace cap Hydrangea's

I just love this white one with a hint of purple.

I wanted to thank everyone for there prayers for my mother in law. They are still doing lots of test.


Good morning

Hello all of my blogging friends,

Once again I am unable to post pictures or spell check because none of it is on the top of the page where you creat a post. Does this happen to you? I would like to ask for prayer's for my Mother inlaw. She is in the hospital with a blood infection. The doctor is concerned that this is not getting better. She is 78 and very weak we can use as many prayers as we can get.
Thank-you,
ginger

Front porches

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Rhonda at http://rhondisrosecoloredglasses.blogspot.com/ Is having a porch party OH MY you must stop by and see all of these beautiful porches. I do not have a front porch , but I was looking online and I don't now why but this picture just touched my heart. I think it is the simplicity of it, and the beauty of the flowers. Thank-you for letting me share this picture with you.

Have nice day,

Boston Ivy

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage

Guess what I planted? YEP it is true ! I planted 6 of these Boston ivy's to climb on our home. 3 on the side of the house and 3 on the back of the house. I am getting up enough nerve to plant them in the front, but I need to see how these do for about a year. I am not sure what they will look like in Winter. I do know they change color for fall. HEY that means I will get to see the changing of the season's here in California. It was kinda dark out when I took this picture so it is not very clear sorry about that.

Have a great day,
ginger
