Pink roses are my favourite and I often like to take home some flowers, to brighten up the house.
I remember reading, that Elton John had big bouquets of flowers delivered to his home every week and although mine are just a little bunch of roses, they make me very happy seeing them.
These shots were taken with my iphone, as I was walking along a street in Ponsonby yesterday ... I always admire these two quaint houses when I pass by them and they had such pretty street appeal, with lavender and roses growing in the front gardens.

I just love these pink magnolia trees that were blooming, all along the streets of the Newmarket shopping center. The flowers remind me of a pretty pink organza ball gown.
Wishing you all a very lovely weekend

Carolyn
Hello Dear Carolyn...
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your posts this month...and this post is especially lovely. I love your vignette of roses and ballet slippers. So pretty.
I just love the detail and sweetness of the homes you have photographed. The first house is especially charming.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Hugs, Nancy xox
I do love walking and coming across quaint, pretty little homes. Don't see such places here. And can't walk in this heat. :/ Have a beautiful day! Tammy
ReplyDeleteThank you !!...have a nice weekend...xxx..
ReplyDeleteThe house look beautiful indeed Carolyn and I can imagine why they appeal to you so much! The magnolia looks beautiful. It's good to see spring has arrived in your country.

Carolyn, your pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy roses have just been pruned for the winter and you would never believe that a few sticks could make such wonderful flowers.

My grandmother (who used to live next door to us) had a gorgeous (and HUGE) magnolia tree in her garden. It was a delight to see in bloom.
ReplyDeleteI miss having a home with a garden...an apartment has its advantages, but I wish I could go out and pick blooms for my home every day.
Have a lovely flower-filled weekend, Carolyn!
Gorgeous post, darling!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend :)

ReplyDeleteYou know, pink roses are a favorite of mine too. There's just something about them that always brightens up my day. The magnolia trees are so pretty. I wish I had those in my front yard. I can see why you like these houses - they are very charming.

ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteThe pink toe shoes are perfect sitting along side the beautiful roses! I share your love for roses and bought a dozen white roses yesterday. I too have heard that E John purchases lots of fresh flowers.. I think he places some in each room.. yikes! that's pricey!
Such pretty, quaint homes near-by. Thank you for sharing and also for always stopping by to say hi.

Hi Carolyn, Oh what inspiring pics you share. The little cottages with the gardens in front are darling. I love your pic with pink roses and ballet slippers. Now that is an inpsiration for a painting for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour walk must have been special.
Thank you for sharing my friend. Hope you are enjoying the season.

Oh my goodness Carolyn, I don't think I have ever seen a pink magnolia tree...I love magnolia trees, they are my favorite but since I've only seen them in white I thought that was all there was. How pretty in pink (my favorite color)
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
❤Ana
