A big thank you to Linda for creating our sweet Garden Party button.

Share You Cup #296

Hello, and welcome to Share Your Cup, (SYC for short).

 

The party where you share what makes you happy.

 

It's what I like to call, "filling your cup".

 

Patriotic Pink

Hello my friends,

 

I know what you're thinking. . .pink is not a patriotic color.  Normally, I would agree with you, but somehow; it works!

Long May She Wave Summertime Porch

Hello my friends,

Summer is officially here and I am so excited to be sharing my summertime porch with you!

 

Once Memorial Day arrives you will find me pulling out my flags.

 

The red, white, and blue proudly flies both inside and out.

Nooks and Crannies. . .

Hello my friends,

 

 

There's something about nooks and crannies in a garden that makes my heart go all a flutter! 

 

Traipsing down a little trail or turning a corner to happen upon one is just ever so delightful!

 

I attended the Pleasant Grove garden tour last Monday night and I thought I would share some of the fun spots with you.

 

Everything Done Wright!

 

Hello my friends,

on Saturday I attended the "Hidden Garden" tour with three of my friends.

 

It was not one of their best years, but the Wright garden did everything right in my book!  :)

 

A redo and a Patriotic thing, or two. . .

 

 

Hello my friends,

I have this large blue cabinet in our entryway.

The inside of it is brown stain.

 

I have been thinking for some time that I would like to paint it white.  Problem is. . .once I do there was no going back.

 

This photo was taken in '2012', when I shared

Great American Past Times

It's a bit blurry, but it's all I could find.

Changes to Hilltop Cottage. . .

 

Hello my friends,

 

I've made a few changes to Hilltop Cottage, so I thought I would share them with you.

 

Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime?

Hello my friends,

In about a week and a half summer will officially be here.

 

Of course those little wheels in my mind are turning.  :)

 

I am such a theme girl when it comes to my seasonal décor

So,

I just gotta ask, "what do you do in the summertime"?

 

Better Late Than Never. . .Features

Hello my friends,

It seems like once spring arrived life has been crazy busy around here!  Between readying the garden and doing lots of prep for our final estate sale of my friends late Aunt Bunny I am just now finding time to share some features from Our April and May Garden Parties and the Tea and Roses link party I joined with 11 other gals.

 

At our April Garden Party Daphne from

Ivy, Phyllis, and Me shared the gorgeous garden blooms from her previous home.

 

 

I absolutely love these sweet bottles and blossoms shared by Debra from

 Common Ground

 

 

I love garden goodies, (junk) and Pat from French Country Style from the Foot of the Rockies shared the architectural salvage in

 her garden.

 

 

I also love a garden that has fun outdoor spaces. 

 

In our May Garden Party Mary from

Home is Where the Boat is shared the gorgeous flowers blooming around her cute garden shed.

romantic garden gazebo.

Home Away from Home. . .Glamping in Miss Dotty

Hello my friends,

I've spent a long hard working, but fun four days prepping, selling, and cleaning up for our final sale of my friends, late

 Aunt Bunnies estate.

 

While getting everything set up my friend Dolly, my granddaughter Say dee, and I spent our nights in her 5th wheel she named, Miss Dotty.
