Everything is Coming up Roses


It was my birthday on Halloween and I was given some money by my Mum...I intended to buy shoes but when I spied this meat platter I had to have it. It's huge and heavy about 1850 and in perfect condition and matches a couple of pieces I already have






my darling husband spoiled me and bought me  a new camera as he knows how much I am enjoying taking pics


David made new  pink rose garden with a path for me in winter  and they are now all opening...what a joy they are to me




picking roses for the house
















my first paeony flower

    First congratulations with your birthday, such a great photos again. The platter you bought is stunning and all these roses blooming, when I see this I´m longing to spring and my own roses blooming again, but it´s only autumn and only a few roses are still showing a flower. I´m always enjoying your pictures of the beautiful views, your garden and the hens. Love it.

    Happy belated birthday! The platter you bought is absolutely beautiful. And what a lucky woman you are to receive that awesome camera as a gift from your hubby. Your land and flowers are so pretty...looks like something you'd only see in a book. Stunning.

    Loving the Clematis! We hope to grow some at our new house when spring comes around (in North Carolina, USA)! Your roses and peony are beautiful, too. They would be a welcomed scent as we float into Fall!

    Your garden is looking beautiful! Happy belated birthday to you, Meg. I think I'd be choosing a pretty platter over shoes too, lol. Thanks so much for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.

    I adore the muted colours in the plate. I can see why it caught your eye. The gardens look wonderful and I especially like your purple leaved trees! xx

    just found you from browsing the ' Vintage Inspiration Party' happy belated birthday, love your vintage oval plate choice instead of shoes. You have some beautiful roses in your lovely garden. I've made a note of some, as we are planning to create a rose bed for next year. I'm looking forward to following you.
