Garden Delights


There is much in the garden at this mid-summer time to delight and enchant one's spirit...


The sunflowers are heavy with seed, drying in the sun... soon to be pillaged by the cardinals and blue jays, finding this sweet temptation too much to resist...



The fruits and vegetables are abundant signaling a bountiful harvest...


There are human enhancements too...



A bunting made from scraps of vintage and antique fabrics, buttons and embroidery inspired by imagination...




A perfect way to indulge in the charm of the garden causing one to linger longer and enjoy its glory...



* Bunting designed and created by Barbara Gledhill
* Vintage and antique textiles supplied by Susan McShannon-Monteith
* Inspired by Julie Arkell
* Upcoming classes to create one's own bunting at Stitch.

Friendship




 After several weeks of delay...




due to rain we finally had our 'Country Faire'






Amidst the backdrop of vintage and antique quilts the circle of friendship was indulged and shared...





I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to Jocelyn for lending her lush back lawn to the vendors...




Doris for her wonderful photography and of course the ladies and gentlemen that participated...





And a special note to Barbara my little pixie friend that provided plenty of encouragement...



There are whispers of another faire in the Fall... we shall see.
