Looking for post w/ birds/butterflies toile (x-posted)

13 years ago

Ok, I'm driving myself crazy trying to find a recent(?) post which included a pic of a toile fabric that had birds and butterflies in it. Does anyone else recall seeing this? The poster had included several pics; the toile was not the first pic in the post, and it was to the right of another pic, IIRC..

I'd planned on coming back to ask the OP some more info on the fabric, but now I cannot find the post at all--aaagghh!

I first read the post w/in the past week; I'm thinking maybe I saw it on Sunday or Monday. I've checked my History of my browser, but have had no luck. Help!

Welcome to Florida Gardening. Hope you enjoy it here as much as I have. Your new bed looks great, and I hope you can keep those pesky critters out of your feeders. As for hummers in central Florida...they arrive here in February and stay until late August or early September when they head farther south for winter. So you can see them all spring and summer, IF you have some in your neighborhood. Planting the right kinds of things to attract them is the first move, and then putting out a feeder is the next step. The feeder needs to have clean sugar water in it at all times. It will ferment in a 24 to 48 hours in our heat, so should be changed out regularly. Don't buy commercial prepared mixes. Expensive, and they usually contain red dye which many experts feel is harmful to the hummers. You can make your own solution much more economically. Just stir 1 cup of sugar into 3 cups of water and boil 5 minutes, making sure all sugar is dissolved. Let it cool, and voila! Hummer food, cheap. You can keep the prepared mixture in your refrigerator for about a week before you need to make more. I usually do up a big batch, fill my feeder, refrigerate the rest, then change the feeder solution every other day with stuff fresh from the fridge. Good luck with attracting both hummingbirds and butterflies. BOTH make Florida gardens extra special! Marcia

My wife (Teresa) bought me a Nikon D40x. It came with a 18x55 lens and she added a 55x200 zoom. Its more camera than I understand how to use. I got pretty good at shooting indoor basketball. Both our boys play basketball and football, and one plays all three. Every gym has different lighting, so the settings on the camera have to be changed for each. And football is all together different from that...shot some pics tonite during the pep rally..not the best quality....practice, practice practice.... Thanks for the compliments....Nite All

Oh wow, punk ...I am loving the purples & lavendars!!! Those polka dotted purple plates are party pleasures....I can't think of a 'p' word for gorgeous! & the the touch of the butterflies is perfect! & the matching stem ware, too! Love that ivy & purple & white blooms in your centerpc ... looks so 'pretty' ... ohhh, there's a 'p' word for gorgeous! LOL! Now if only the 'lilacs' were blooming!! A rock star is born! She is so cute in this outfit with the glasses & yes, the purple sippy cup & looks like a delicious treat! Your china cabinet/hutch compliments your t'scape so much with those big lavendar/purple dinner plates contrasted w/white plates. Love! Love! Those bunnies are so darn cute ... the one on the table & the 2 'biggies' standing on your hutch/buffet. Everything looks so cheery ...I put away my Easter & have not got the porch decor done yet for summer. So I am thrilled to see this purple paradise of yours, punk! ~~hugs, Jeanne S.

boop, Thanks; that print is similar. I checked at Calico Corners' website but didn't see it. The nearest CC is an hour away, but I plan to do some shopping over there soon. spring-meadow, That one is similar, but I don't *think* it's the same one. I don't believe any reference was made w/in the post to the fabric, just a picture was shown, so I don't think I'll be able to do a search for it. Thanks so much for trying! I do like that one; I need to see if it comes in any other colorways, in the event I can't find the one I'm searching for. jillinnj, That one is beautiful, too; I will check it out as an alternative, also. Thanks I can't believe I didn't save the link, at the least. I typically try to be very careful to save any pictures or links that I see b/c this website is so tough to do a search on. Love, love Gardenweb, but wow, it's finicky in terms of reliable searches.

weedmeister,
Exactly! :-) It was such a peaceful, serene print, and tied in beautifully w/ the look I'm going for. I just know someone on here is going to come up w/ it cuz everyone here is so helpful.

Thanks, LL, it really is pretty; hopefully I'll find it again and you'll be able to see for yourself. When I saw the post, it was late at night, and I was really needing to get finished up on the computer and get to bed, so I just thought I'd check it out more in depth the next day. No such luck :-(

purplepansies,
I wish I remembered! LOL Like I said, I was skimming posts and it was the last one I looked at that night. I just don't remember much about the post. This fabric was not specifically mentioned in her post; she just included it in a group of pics she embedded in her post. Sorry, wish I could be more specific! Thanks for trying :-)
