Taking tea on a shady bench in the garden

In front of my white garden area in some shade

In soft focus see the white bleeding hearts behind the bench? And the stacked stone garden?

I am lucky to have three benches scattered around my tiny back garden. I sometimes move them about to be able to enjoy tea in the shade. Since all the trees and rose arbors are not fully leafed out I must move and seek the shade.

Today I am in front of my " white "garden area. Behind the bench are white bleeding hearts, white violas, white snapdragon,white iris and white foxgloves and sweet peas that are almost all ready to pop open. The bench is from TJ Maxx and we repainted it. The cushion is custom.

I am using some of my MA mongram items from my Paris trip last year and many of my Home Goods finds of the last year or so. My lilac bushes are blooming and provided the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed your visit--I love reading all your nice comments. Please come back and visit with me again.

Have a Pink day!
