It really slowes down here this time of the year but this year seems slower than usual here. I figgure everyone is busy now that The School year has started up again and Fall is in the air.

You have some truely lovely daylily blooms pictured here. Especially the reds, yellows and oranges. Those really appeal to me. My favorites are PLANET CLAIRE and SPIRIT FOX. It is a tie!

You have so many nice ones. Do I detect a bit of green in the throat of Planet Claire? It's a nice yellow to. A few of my favorites are Bubble Yummin Mama, Spirit Fox and With All My Heart. My daylilies are over and it's really nice to see the photos. Keep them coming! Thanks for posting. Marg

I'll pass it along, but he does "read" posts here sometimes, and I told him I had linked to a slideshow of his seedlings, so maybe he'll stop "lurking" and start posting too. :) Come on Tony, we're all friendly here....we don't bite!! ;-) Jan

Fun2, don't give up on Pinterest. Its really easy to navigate once you get the hang of it and then you can avoid a lot of repetition. And don't forget there is a search box you can find things you want to look at. I'm so photo obsessed, that place is like a candy store to me. LOL. Punk, please don't be sad. I don't want to make you feel like that. Valentine's was never a holiday I particularly liked, as Candy noted about our respective DH's and them not having a romantic bone in their bodies!! ;o) I got into decorating for it only because of the gang here. But its just not that enjoyable for me. I don't have a lot of Valentine stuff luckily, so its no big deal to find it a good home. (tho I don't dare take it to Goodwill, I'd be dumb enough to buy some of it back. LOL) As for my bunnies...I think I mentioned one time that I probably have around 200 in my collection. Trust me, I won't miss a lot of them!! I want to pare down to those that I really love or are special to me. None of my kids are collectors, or holiday decorators (except Christmas) cause they are too busy in their lives right now. So I can't dump my stuff on them. Darn it. Party, thank you. Sounds like you understand. With me having so many collections and so much stuff, lately I am just feeling like its taking over my house and life. I would like to pare some things down a bit, tho I am the type of person who will always have 'too much' stuff. LOL. I'm glad y'all enjoyed that Pinterest board of mine. Jane, how are things going there? Besides frustrating! I will add photos quite often if you want to check my board occasionally. And yes, Punk, some of the pix are from our Forum's inspiration albums. Thought I should share the talent and creativity with Pinterest followers. Tho I need to look up names and give credit. I know one of the Val. pictures is Luv's. ;o) I see that the wonderful tablescape with the big bunnies down the middle was a hit with you guys too. I thought that was so neat, and the yarn was quite an interesting base for them. I tend to 'pin' cloche decor often as I do love that especially. (Punk, you need a mantel and a cloche!!) And no Candy, I don't want to disappoint Teegan. LOL. Heaven forbid. She's wearing a red blouse, does that count for Valentine's? ;o) (Fun2, you may have noticed a couple of us "ol gals" play with dolls. And we have Jeanne and her DollBaby to blame for it!! She started it....) hugs, Karen

Some 'Easter Eye Candy'

Thanks Janet for your H&Ps. I'm always open for them! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing this blog. She has so many beautiful things, and once showed her 'collections' and how she stores them. - I was blown away by what she has and all the space to store them. I would imagine just keeping tract of it must be something else! Your etching project sounds like fun and would make nice gifts to give. Many years ago I bought a kit from QVC but didn't get too far with it even though it did seem nice to do. However, like you, I seem to get caught up in 'wanting' to do projects..then get sidetracked to other things. You should show off your glasses when you're done...I know I'd love to see them. DH & I did experiment with a snow flake pattern on a glass that turned out pretty cool. I'm sure if you looked up 'etched glass designs'..you might get some neat ideas. As far as my 'Internet' shopping...lol. I guess because I'm in my bedroom mostly, I ordered a whole new comforter set and fabric to make matching valances. Also I ordered from JoAnn's the Computer Grafix - Printable Transparency Film that Jeanne uses to decorate her candles. I've got to give it a try. Hope you get to share your 'project' with us... jane

That's gorgeous Victorian decorating. Love how they used all the same colors on the tree, mantel, and bookcase, and the little carraiges are darling too. I'll head over to the albums to see what you've found for us--better find a Kleenex first because I'm sure I'll be "drooling". ;o) Luvs

The more I see of Planet Claire, the more I like it. I need to see if my Auntie has some to share. I think I saw it in her garden, I am sure I can find something here to trade with her.

OH MY!!!! eye candy is right what a stunning group I can't pick a favorite. I'm glad you have the time now to post photos from this summer, your right things have been kind of slow lately so we need the DL fix.

Eye candy is right--I'm just loving all of them, as usual. I must say I do have a big thing for Plant Claire and Spirit Fox, they do stand out. Avedon

I can't see the pictures now, but I checked yesterday night, and remember loving Planet Claire like everybody :) and Glorious Autumn!

Is the forum working ok for everybody? Lately I have all kind of troubles: it either won't load at all, or after a couple of threads I can't see pics and/or reply, strange.

Nat,
I did notice earlier today when I checked in that my photos had vanished. I thought maybe the garden gnomes were at work again. I didn't check other threads because I figured it was just Photobucket acting up again. Now I see my pictures just fine.
THANKS again to everyone for looking at my photos (when they're actually visible...LOL).

I think my very favorite of these is Glorious Autumn. I love the way the color deepens at the edge. Bubble Yummin Mama is another pretty eyecatcher.
