Thank you....that's it, FULL MOON!!! Well, I'll be looking for a source to get one for next winter. Not the right time to get it now. I only have THREE, could always use a little more beautiful shade, and a good view from every window of the house.

Thank you all for the very gracious & complimentary replies. dreamgoddess -- I couldn't believe it when I got those cherubs for a total of $48.20 from Horchow...orig price was $188. + add'l ship $17.00 + ship + tax. I got them for 30% off clearance($66.00) and completely free ship. bettyd_z7_va & work_in_progress_08--I didn't start until about a week before Christmas because I was down with some bug--I wasn't sure if I would do the big tree or not, and then I got a burst of energy & creativity. I have 4 cats--one is eight months old, so I wanted things on the tree that wouldn't break if it went over or was attacked. ;-) Basically the tree is full of faux flowers. Normally when I do that Victorian look I also use my collection of white china birds too, but I didn't want to risk it--I would also use delicate ornaments as well. I don't buy much new, so I try and re-purpose or re-work what I have. Even though it the same old stuff--it becomes fresh again. Judith....I've had that throw for yrs and just decided to use it on the back of the sofa, normally it's on a chair. Truth is, I wish I had "layered" a bit more like getting bows on my Staff dog collection I store it all in a full attic with full staircase access, so that makes things easier when moving bins up and down, what slows me down is arthritis in hands and knees. I will take it all down over a period of time and don't rush it, otherwise it would be too overwhelming. Again, I don't want to stress my joints. I just noticed--the two cakes are actually 3-wick candles and I forgot to take off their wrappers. Jim

Finally a few more wedding decor pics

Yes, the chairs were moved to the tables-there wasn't dinner, per se, but nibbles available. Once the sun went down, people let their hair down and started dancing, using the lounge and loosening up. This definitely wasn't your typical wedding! But it was exactly what the kids wanted. We did not do many traditional things-my DS walked his sister down the aisle; there was a communal vow to support the couple, the officiant said the Bride may now kiss her Groom. No cake cutting, no garter or bouquet throwing. The kids just wanted a celebration that reflected them, and that is what we had. I didn't realize it, but I guess I DID have the I Dream of Jeanie bottle in mind when I designed the lounge! Inspired by photos of Indian mandaps, this was what i came up with. The whole thing didn't completely meet with my vision, but it came close-and the kids loved it, which was all that mattered to me.

Glad to see you posting again, Beth! I have read about Koko Loco, but you showed me the first pic. Interesting color. That Tom Brown has also a very unusual color, quite stunning!

Thanks for sharing your lovelies!

Pelicanhead, RUSTY is usually fairly disease resistant, but this season, none of the roses seemed to escape the BS from all that rain and cold temps.

Thanks Krista. And that photo doesn't even do PROSPERO justice. It's such a yummy deep velvety purple-burgundy color.

Jim, RUSTY is a really good one. You need to have it!!

Christina, I think I'm going to love that KOKO LOCO!! It's so interesting, and just enough different from many of my other oddball-colored roses in that beigey-lavenderish range. And TOM BROWN is an absolutely impossible rose to get. I just barely snagged it from Cliff. Another one I'm going to be in love with!

Thanks Harold. Isn't that CROWD PLEASER a lovely one? I got that plant a couple yrs ago when my other one nearly died. But it recovered pretty well, so now I have two!

And Queenbee, FRANCE LIBRE is one I got from Ashdown Roses several yrs ago, before they closed up. So far it's been a pretty nice rose. Doesn't repeat all that great, but it's pretty when it does. The color is usually a deeper orange than this photo. The weird weather has a lot of my roses looking a bit off.

I'm in the same boat with my pics, Beth! Sooo many roses blooming, too many photos taken, 10 days of rose show frenzy and I'm way behind on editing, lol.

But your roses and photos are beautiful. You know I like the odd ball colors like you do!
