Deck Rail Planter On Blue Monday

Thank you to Sally at Smiling Sally for hosting Blue Monday.

 

 

Loving thoughts and prayers for you, dear Sally.

♥♥♥

 

This deck rail planter is something new we added this Spring.

We purchased it from Gardener's Supply,

and we are pleased with the look and the quality.

We will be ordering two more just like it,

but we probably won't fill and use them until next Spring.

Here is the link if you are interested.

The planter is filled with marigolds, pink vinca and ?

I can't remember the name of the plant with the blue blooms.

Hello Blogging Friends!

What a treat to be featured on Beverly's Pink Saturday Celebration!

My name is Kay Ellen and I am an Interior Designer in Southern California.  Blogging has become a wonderful way to express myself and to also share my life, work and creative passions.

 

In 2008 I bought a new camera and started taking photos to share on flickr and in the blogging world.  Photography continues to challenge me as I learn how to express myself through photos and a little creative writing when the mood strikes me:)

 

As a creative person I have many interests...a passion for setting the table, gardening, my design work, shopping to fill my little shop with treasures to sell and when I have time I enjoy sharing DIY projects to encourage others to be creative.  I live in a house filled with artistic people which is wonderful but sometimes it can be very challenging!

Beverly's blog parties have blessed me so much and I have met such kind hearted friends over the years that have blossomed into beautiful friendships.  I love sharing with my Pink ladies. We can all glean so much from each other!

  

My life is full and at times I seem to wear many different hats...but as a Christian I know God will continue to give me the strength and he will enhance my creative abilities ~~~ and I will continue to strive for making an ordinary day an extraordinary day and thank him for the opportunity!

 

I  adore comments on my blog! Comments remind me of a beautiful bouquet of flowers each time I  receive one!

 

Come on over and take a peek at the delightful give away I am having in honor of Pink Saturday!!

Thank you again Beverly for the opportunity to share and keeping Pink Saturdays going! It means so much to us all in the blogging community.

Kay Ellen

Today for Pink Saturday I am sharing

 

-oops! I'm having photo file problems.

 

I can't access the photo I wanted to share today,

 

so I'll share this pretty Dresden swan

 

which belongs to my mother.

 

I know some of you may have already seen this,

 

but it is pretty enough for a second look.

 

 

 

Puzzle Friday

 

A puzzle for the

fun-lovers.

Come on and play with me.

My advice is to study the picture and

puzzle shape before you start.

These puzzles are fun,

and our brains can

use the workout.

My time was 3:31 seconds.

A Tune For Tuesday On Thursday? X Is for XTC

Since I participated in Rhondi's Porch Party on Tuesday,

I am sharing Tuesday's Tune today.

What's My Question Wednesday

My question for today is ...

 

 

 

what do you use

 

to polish your silver

 

   

  

 

 

A Special Place

Today I'm joining Rhondi at

 

Rose Colored Glasses

 

for her 4th Annual Porch Party.

 

Thank you, Rhondi.

 

 

You have probably figured out by now that

I don't change our porch decor too much.

 

And, you have seen our porch decorated for the seasons.

Spring.  July Fourth.  Autumn.  Christmas.

 

 

But, now our front porch has a more meaningful purpose.

 

Our town has a new effort toward feeding our community.

It's called PORCH-Durham.

Volunteers pick up bags of food from front porches

in neighborhoods around our town.

 

This just started in our town in January of this year,

and it continues to grow each month.

In May, the collection totaled 249 bags from 156 porches.

Here's the link.

Read all about it.

Maybe your town already does something like this,

or maybe it is something your town would like to begin.

 

We all need a helping hand sometime.

Put your porch to work for good.

 

Now, I hope you'll sit and visit for a while.

I saved some goodies for us, too.
