Lovely bag! My favorite garden in my own little yard, though it is a small and occasionally weedy scrap patch. I do like to visit and wander the trails in the New England Wildflower Society's "Garden in the Woods." They have a website ... http://www.newenglandwild.org/visit/Garden-in-the-Woods ... enjoy ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteKathy your gardens are amazeing. i am so jealous you hav ea climbing hydrangea. I have allways wanted one of those. I do have a small purple hydrangea I planted last summer. When we moved here 2 years ago their was nothing but shrubbery by the house and a overgown tangle of forest. No flowers at all. I so miss all my beautiful flowers I had at my other home. Your bag is beautiful.. Great fabric you chose for it. What a fun hop this has been.
ReplyDeleteOh that bag is BEAUTIFUL! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe gardens are wonderful, I love flowers, here in Maine my lilacs are finally blooming and that lovely smell is in the air! Love it.
Thanks for sharing your project.
