How fun that you took your niece to the flower show! I love the miniatures--always interesting things to see at the flower show. Thanks for sharing some highlights!
How sweet! Peter Rabbit is one of my all time favorites and I remember the first time I heard in in kindergarten! My post today made me think of you with a list of books!
Even if you missed the Peter Rabbit thing, it's still super cute.
I want to be THERE
Your sharing was certainly compelling I bet it was a soul fulfilling day for you !!! Sandy
Beth: More like she (and her parents) took me there, but I did suggest it, LOL. She loves flowers, they were up for the day, and it was something we could do indoors. We did have a good time, though it's too bad more wasn't in bloom outside.
Colleen: I love the tales of Beatrix Potter. She had quite the imagination and drawing talent, and still makes reading fun for kids of all ages.
Alice: Thanks, though I still wish I had gotten that garden shot. ☺
LOL...Thanks, Ron!
Sandy: Definitely good for the soul, especially as it has turned cold again and we had snow and/or a winter mix twice this week.
Okay, so I'm a little in love with these. Love the Peter Rabbit scenes and love all the interesting looking flowers. Must have been a real joy to walk through and see it all in person.
Such pretty colors! And I love the idea of a flower show with a Beatrix Potter theme. That is a wonderful idea - maybe something I should take up with the local library. Hmm.
Those pink flowers are gorgeous! And the yellow bird is so vivid. Great shots!
Jana: Yes, it was nice to walk through the flower show and actually see stuff blooming -- especially since we've had snow again since. :-/
Anita: Thank you. I thought the theme was pretty clever, too. Some of the scenes featured little figurines or what looked like Hallmark ornaments, while others featured larger mesh or wire animals. I loved that Mr. McGregor's garden featured actual herbs and veggies anyone could grow. And yes, it might be something fun for your library to use. :)
Forgetfulone: Thank you, I love seeing and listening to the canaries inside the conservatory and the Gerbera daisies were gorgeous.
Great pics! :)
*hugs*
