Long Island Postcards



My last post was sort of depressing, so I went to Long Island to visit a friend who gardens --when it's not too hot.....


collects china with a hint of pink


and other quirky old china....and lots of other things too.


We went to a garden center where they had one of my dreams: 
a teeny weeny barnyard with chickens


and a duck and a goat and so forth.


We bought some flowers to plant in her son's garden since we've handed the passion for flowers off onto the next generation.

ps My other, quirkier, New York blog is here.

  5. Elizabeth, that collection of china is right up my street. I even like the glassware, though glass is not quite my thing.

    And those flowers ... great to have a chance to do some garden dabbling.

    New York's weather is so much better now than it was at the weekend. I think we are all enjoying this release from record-breaking heat.

  8. Lovely pictures, as usual.

    Although they are all beautiful, I especially like the glass, I just love old glass.

    I hope your weather is becoming more bearable.
