I just came across this post, looking for the silverware cloche...lol...I am a gardener, and know for sure that the pink flowers in the picture below the hanging basket of periwinkle is called cleome. They are an old grandmother's favorite, and are very prolific in blooming and giving hundreds of seeds. The new ones only sprout up when the temperature is at LEAST 10 degrees cooler in the morning than later in the day. I have had them in pink, purple and white. <br />Good choice on the rug!<br />maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028996872323656172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337784527382402788.post-5868088953799062512009-11-04T13:32:22.002-05:002009-11-04T13:32:22.002-05:00Christine~~
All of yor pink flowers are gorgeous!...Christine~~<br /><br />All of yor pink flowers are gorgeous! I wish I could help you with some of the names but I am pretty bad with that. Plus, you are in a different region, so you have many different plants than we do. I do like the periwinkle a lot, it has trailed so long.<br /><br />Now for your boots...you have a beautiful collection. Do you wear them only in the winter months? How cold does it have to be? I thought people in the South just wore sandals! lol!! I too, love the Coach boots. Emily has a purse that would match perfectly.<br /><br />Instanbul sure looks fun and I never would have thought that! You are a wonderful tour guide and Scott is a wonderful sport to do all that shopping with you!! He is very tall!! I love your story about the rug and waking John. He is a good sport too!!! I love the rug and think it looks fabulous in your dining room. Are the prices okay in Instanbul as opposed if you bought it here? Well, a Turkish rug comes from Turkey, but probably not the selection you saw there. And the shipping. That must have been a lot. But you seem to do a lot of shopping and shipping so you must know if it is a savings or not.<br /><br />I so enjoyed this post, Christine!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JanieBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337784527382402788.post-10470263052684859942009-11-02T19:44:31.616-05:002009-11-02T19:44:31.616-05:00Hi Christine, I love your post and really enjoyed ...Hi Christine, I love your post and really enjoyed each segment. The boots are awesome. Do really wear that many boots??? smiling.<br /><br />I have one pair, dressy for church in the winter. I do love them and feel pretty hip for an old girl. HA!<br /><br />Your flowers are gorgeous as is your pool and outdoor area. the pink unknown ones remind me of wild roses. I am like you I buy what I like and do not know the names.<br /><br />I laughed about your trip to Istanbul part of your post. Just today my 12 year old grandson had to do a history lesson on Turkey. I sang him that very song. Laughing here. He said what kind of song is that grandma? I said it is a true one. He wasn't impressed.<br /><br />Your rug purchase is wonderful. How lucky to have such a beautiful rug. Your son-in-law is so handsome and yes, TALL.<br /><br />I will keep your meme in mind. I have done Pink Sat. forever and something new would be fun.<br /><br />Thank you for your visit and sweet comment.<br /><br />Hugs, Jeannejeannehttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337784527382402788.post-67721458584152887012009-11-02T12:13:25.831-05:002009-11-02T12:13:25.831-05:00Christine, isn't that a coincidence that you w...Christine, isn't that a coincidence that you were taught by "Soeur de Charite"?

It looks like spring. I have to say Turkey looks very cold right now. I have been there and loved it. I was able to buy some carpets and it's amazing how they are all piled up and the salesmen just pull them off, one right after the other. Now having seen these wonderful pictures, the memories come flooding back, I wish I had bought more. When does it ever end!!?? Happy Pink Saturday and have fun my friend, it looks like a great time.

You have the most gorgeous pink flowers. Sorry I can't help you with the names of any of them, I'm just not much of a gardner. I really love your periwinkles, they are so lush and full. And the trip to Istanbul was a treat! That rug store was amazing. And I think you definitely made the right choice for your dining room, it's perfect. Have a wonderful weekend at the estate sale, can't wait to see what you bring back. Because I KNOW you'll be bringing something back lol.
