Hello again dear readers and blogging friends!
I know that I have promised you a garden photo post today, but I have to make this a devided post now because I also like to participate in Artsy Mama Kari's "artful blogger party" which she is hosting over @ her blog today, open for artsy bloggers from all over the world! So stay tuned for a very long blog today lol!
I recently made a few things for the "Marie Antoinette Swap" (hosted by my finnish blogging friend Delila from Sepia Art Studio) which I like to show you today:
First there is this Marie inspired collage hanger made on a one piece cake paper plate which I've painted in my fave turquoise color and glued a pretty paper on, then I've glittered the edges and lastly I've embellished it with golden Dresdens papers, charms, bouillon, brads, a mother of pearl button and a millinery flower.
Then I've made a box for all the goodies I've gathered for my swap partner because I so love beautiful packaging and think it is as important as the gifts itselfs:
I chose a picture of Madame de Pompadour for the box because I find this especially pretty:
Another thing that I made to put in the Madame de Pompadour box is this soldered Marie-Antoinette jewelry pendant which I've already showed you in my last post:
Well that's it about art blogging for today but now it's time to go back to the garden!
My Garden is literally full of pretty pinks and purples at the moment which I like to share with all the garden lovers amongst you:
Above is a tiny pink carnation and below a pink Hibiscus syracus:
A purple bird ball on the table and pink is my pink pot ladder with a pot of pink flowers of course lol
Purple Petunias in a hanging basket above and Pelargonium with Heliotrop on one of my tables on the deck:
The purple Heliotrop is also called Vanilla Flower here in Germany because it scents so wonderfully Vanilla like hmmmmm
In the picture below you see one of my Phlox flowers:
And in the next picture you can see my purple grapevine. The grapes are already ripe now:
This pink beauty is Anemone japonica:
I have planted pink Diascia in the the turquoise pot, because it is on of my fave color combinations:
This is a deeper pink Diascia in a clay pot on my potting table:
Then there are more different Phloxes blooming right now:
Lastly my provence rose "Elle" is blooming in a gorgeous pink right now, sometimes they are more orange, the colors change with the weather:
And last but not least the pink Cottage rose is also blooming again:
I hope you have enjoyed the pictures of my summergarden pink and purples and will come back visiting me again!
