July In Review

I was visiting blogs earlier this morning and noted that Susan at Between Naps On The Porch discovered several bloggers sharing their 'Month In Review'. She did as well. What a fantastic idea! I love it when we share helpful ideas that make life easier for all! So here's my July in Review - 
 Striking a Balance
Redecorating the two built-ins in our living room with Summer Blues

My dear friend Maria at Rooms U Love gave me this beautiful table scarf.
I paired it with this lovely urn I purchased from her shop

I shared with my my discovery of this wonderful gardener, writer and painter.



Despite the incredible heat here in Georgia, a number of flowers and flowering bushes are thriving



I shared with you my moving Spring Pink into
the green room - the terrarium, birds and teapots


I shared with you this very lovely, Chintz Tea-For-One
I won from our dear friend Trisha at Sweetology


Another Blessing!
I shared with you my teacup and saucer I won from our dear friend
Martha at Martha's Favorites!


After learning that one of Celia Thaxter's best garden tools was a magnifying glass
I took a closer look at some of my garden's flowers


I shared with you my pairing white Crape Myrtle in my White Bird Flower Frog
and vase


Reflecting Edna St. Vincent Milay's sentiments
"I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes..."
as I contemplate the peacefulness of home.


I shared with you five of my favorite summer lunches


A White Serene Tablescape
Just the two of us - considering the heat outdoors, I wanted to create a peaceful,
serene tablescape.



Using Kilz Waterproof Masonry White Paint I transformed two of my garden statues


Treating myself to fresh roses, Petit Fours and a relaxing tea in my garden.


Celebrating the peaceful routine to our Sunday Afternoons


Celebrating the beauty of Summer Enchantments


I shared with you a banner I made for my Sister-in-law's baby shower!


I shared with you the blessing of having toads in your garden and the
luminous pink Surprise Lilies in my garden


I shared with you my wonder of the history behind the things we collect and treasure


The Beauty of Honey and Beeswax Candles
I adore locally grown honey and was blessed to find local merchants who
make their own fragrant beeswax candles.


I shared that I discovered editors of Victoria Magazine had created several years
back, a B List


Setting a vignette on my desk to remind me of my pledge to apply Toujours in my life.


I shared with you my new found affection for this stalwart, heat-drought resistent flower.


I shared with you this very Delightsome Angel I found at my friend's
shop, Rooms U Love


I shared with you my Delightsome, early morning, outdoor breakfast tea


Finally, I shared with you my delight in my newly painted water fountain.


Well! That was quite a month! Thank you for visiting, I hope you were inspired
to review your monthly blog posts and enjoyed visiting mine!

Wishing you a very Delightsome day,
