Roses & Cherubs

Our bags are unpacked, and the garden is offering a beautiful spot to rest a little after unpacking all of our purchases from the buying trip. Our website server was attacked {who does stuff like that?} but thank goodness everything is back to normal again. Tomorrow the "real life" starts again after our little break.

I have a love {okay, sort of an obsession!} with Cherubs and Roses. Like the ones here. The Roses {the ones I used for these shots are mostly Edens} and the Hydrangeas are in full bloom, my favorites! I piled some of them in the Cherub Urns for the photos...aren't they glorious?


I love the urns, they were quite a find, since there are two of them! Perfect for a shabby chic lover. I picture them ending up on either side of a fireplace, or flanking French Doors.

The little Putti, or Cherubs, are so cute. Anything with Cherubs kind of captures my heart!



I hope all of are enjoying the outdoors. Sun. Flowers. Weekend. Life is good, especially in the sunshine!

Welcome back! Your roses are so blushingly beautiful. I haven't heard if Rue has ordered anything yet. Will be curious to see what she chooses for her new-to-her house.

Hi Lidy,

Hydrangeas are my favorite. I just love how full they are, like cotton candy almost. The blue variety are my fave.

Beautiful flowers. I once bought a huge, ex-display, papier mache cherub, and brought it home on top of our son's pram hood - a very convenient method of transport. My mother was horrified but my husband and I both loved it for years! It had to go when we moved to France, but we miss its rather over the top presence.

Lidy, I can hardly believe those are real roses, they're exquisite - and such lovely cherubs.

Glad you had a good trip.

Please - any chance you will be able to get more of the 18 oz. cream cafe au lait bowls any time soon? I really would love a couple.

Have a wonderful week.

Gorgeous!!! I love cherubs too and climbing Eden roses are my FAV!!! I'm posting a photo of a small bouquet of them on my blog tomorrow. My bush is still small but I cannot wait until it gets big enough to produce as many roses as you have!!! I'm so happy I came by to visit your blog...those photos just did so much for me!

Gilding the Lily said...

Oh Lidy...you were the little luxury I allowed myself this evening...sitting down with a sip of chilled wine and luxuriating in your photos. I feel as though i have been so away from it all! And, miracles of miracles, you have named the roses i have been trying to find! I love those pale pink and green roses beyond anything, and had promised a friend I would find out what they were. You are a wonder...

Joy said...

Those are some breathtaking roses, Lidy.
