EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES

Roses are such beautiful and romantic flowers.
They come in such a variety of sizes, shapes and colors.
Not only are they gorgeous to look at,
they are so fragrant and delicate.
I just LOVE any variety or color that comes my way.
I have a slight obsession with them and
every chance I get, I'm trying to cluster them
in pretty vases around the house.
Pink of course is a favorite, but the feminine,
soft, blush colored rose tea rose really is at
the top of the list for me.

Rachel Ashwell and her Shabby cabbage roses
also rank up at the top as some of my favorites too!








Aren' t these the kind of soaps you'd love in your bathroom?


Check out my fragrant sachets in my ETSY shop

Oh, yes, soooo beautiful!!!
I can almost smell them now. Remember the rose bushes we had on Byron Drive? (We cut a rosebud and made a boutonniere for Dom Puggi for the eighth grade dance (!) I think I killed that rose bush in record time. Do you grow them? I'd love to.

I luv the first rose bowl and the rose garden was beautiful. I thought the rose shaped soaps were the flowers on top of a cake. They were looking delicious. You see I have a bad sweet tooth. Thanks for shareing....Julian

trying to do some blog hopping to catch up today and OH, am I glad I stopped here. I LOVE the smell of roses and this brought it all back to me after the long winter we've had. I had a room decorated in Rose things years ago, then changed it. But I still have a few things left. like a collection of old rose plates. Hmmm, maybe it's time to change back..(o:

I can smell those babies from here!!! :)

Oh & THAT BABY!!! Good thing she is not mine I could never say no to her & I would ruin her for sure :) She is soooo cute! I just need to squeeze her & give her a kiss!!! (maybe two) I am a baby kisser :) My poor Rocco wears a lot of lipstick on his cheeks :)

It gets me excited for the fresh flowers coming! I think I need to get some just for us when I go to the store but I really love them best out of the garden. Are you a gardener? I love it but I really just can handle the 3 small gardens I have. When the kids get older I will take on more...but for now... I just hope I get a few minutes to weed between chasing kids before my neighbors ask me to move :)

I loved your roses Gail!
