Rednesday Blog Party

Hello everyone ~ Today I am taking part in Sue's REDNESDAY. I have a little red around my home so I thought it would be fun to participate in her fun event. You can join the fun too by clicking on the link and going to Sue's blog "My Secret Garden" http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com/

This punch bowl set was a Christmas gift from my brother when I was first married. I had started collecting different pieces of this ruby glass and he added to it with his special gift. I was thrilled to receive it, you can be sure!

This lovely red-rimmed punch bowl comes with twelve red-rimmed cups and a ladle. It has entertained at showers, weddings, and lots of different events over the years. It is always a joy to fill it with a special punch and serve my guests.

As far as I know they don't make this glass any more so I'm so very glad to have the pieces I have. I'll share other pieces another day.
That's my offering for today. Please go on over and visit Sue and all her other participants, and have a happy day everyone!

My Roses Are Blooming!

Happy Tuesday to you all ~ We are having some wet weather the last couple of days but the gardens need it. I can tell June is here, not because of the warm weather but because that is when my roses start to bloom! I took these pictures on the weekend before the rain came. These roses smell like those Yankee candles you buy in the shops. I can't get enough of this scent. It is heavenly!
Today, one of the bushes is just loaded with these gorgeous blooms so I skipped out between rain showers and snipped some for the kitchen table.They send a romantic fragrance throughout the room almost as strong as lilacs do. These roses are much like the variety that grow all along the shores of the Island and they conjure up all kinds of wonderful memories from my childhood. My father used to take us camping at the beach in the summertime and even then, I loved to stop and smell the roses. What kind of memories do roses bring to your heart?
Have a lovely and rose-scented day everyone!
