Third garden: the official greeter did not tell me his name but did say it is not "exotic CDC".
LOLOL. Thanks for these amazing pix! What a fun day you had.
Lovely photos. Except for the snake. I hate snakes.
Hey Sg, must admit love my slouchy ones.
DH also rocks them, and even has a pair of squiggles!
Glad you love pirates too.
Hi eagle thank you for the advice.My input as someone who loves H silver and has several bracelets: I bet the confetti necklace is not that common. I could be wrong, i suppose you could ask the SA what she thinks. But I am quite sure the farandole is always stocked in H boutiques. So, if I saw a confetti that looked great I would snag it, and put the farandole on your list for next item to get. Because it is an iron law of nature that you can't stop with just one!
An alternative plan is to get the farandole and then if you decide to get the confetti necklace and it's not available, go to resellers.
I am glad I snagged bracelets when I did b/c several are no longer in production. I "missed" a couple of bracelets and so have to strategize how to get them since prices go up over time.
I admire your silver pieces and how they look on you.
Your beautiful examples have definitely inspired me to investigate H silver and indeed jewellery lately whereas before I passed.
I am going to take your advice and get the confetti now. See how it goes and maybe down the line get a farandole.
My SA said she had held it for me as we were waiting for a pareo to come in that I was going to look at, but it hasn't arrived yet so I think I will just go up for the confetti anyway so that she doesn't let it go.
BTW there is a great eBay reseller here that sells old designs of H jewellery.
I have had a couple of bracelets from her and shown my SA who has confirmed they are genuine.
If you want the sellers name PM me.
I am without a computer at the moment, borrowing DH's iPad this morning but as soon as I am back to normal in the next few days I will pick up.
Probably for me I would choose the natural colour ones as they seem more summery and they are summery sandals.
I like the chunky ones too but would they get heavy to wear?
Yes, the visa application part is a hindrance to travelling on a whim. It's not about getting approved or denied, it's the hassle of preparing documents to be submitted.
As always, love your photos. I have been thinking at times over the last few days "It is spring. Why isn't M.B. posting any photos?"
Thank you for the marvelous garden photos. Have you been to Historic Garden Week in Virginia? It's a wonderful statewide tour every year in April, and includes beautiful private houses and gardens as well as historic public gardens.
I love garden tours!! My little surburban-woods town has one every year and I am always amazed at the treasures hidden behind long driveways so close to home!
I get so many ideas on garden tours. It is fun to see how people all over the world plant, and experiment and coax and cajole a garden into existence. One thing all gardeners seem to have in common is the amazement that you can start a seed--just put it in the dirt with water and light and it will, thank God, actually grow. I never get over the wonder of that. Then to see all of the ways that various gardeners take all these plants and hardscaping, water features etc. and put them together to express something creative, is pretty neat. Especially knowing how serendipitous it all is. Lol! Because a gardener's thinking about what a plant should be doing, and the plant's thinking about what it should be doing are often two entirely different things.
Absolutely! And in a place with lots of snow, i'm always amazed that anything returns in spring.
I managed to get the hoops around the peonies just yesterday. Much rain starting today.
A brief interruption on the garden conversation (I will join that later today), for an opinion on these shoes - for wearing in that odd season between winter boots and summer sandals.
I only have a couple of ballet flats and ankle boots (all black) for this bridge season, and need a moderate heel and ankle strap of some sort. I absolutely cannot wear pumps - this is the closest option I have found. SW shoes do not fit my feet at all.
I'm a bit concerned about the patent leather being comfortable. The other option I have in this category are the rockstuds - if I can just wear them out instead of keeping them for dressy events only. It's between these and the tan Jimmy Choos I posted earlier. But those are strictly summer.
