Lavender and Lace

Happy May!

You know, I have determined that IF I didn't live in a yellow house, I would have to live in a PINK house! And it would have flowers blooming in the gardens like these....

Yesterday, lucky lucky me, got to spend the day with Rhoda! She is just adorable AND loves to do the same things that I do... and yesterday we did several of those things - shopping, talking AND eating! We visited several shops that Rhoda will share on her blog, Southern Hospitality, AND we stopped and smelled the roses at this delightful tea room -

And as if this place wasn't SWEET enough, we treated ourselves to one of these delicious desserts too......

Sigh. What a WONDERFUL day ... thank you Rhoda for the extra sweet memories! Friends Forever!

xo,

Kim

Good morning sweet Kim :)

It sounds like you both had a wonderful time. It's been so much fun reading about your outings here and at Rhoda's blog. That tea room is not only darling, but the menu looks absolutely scrumptious :)

Have a beautiful day...

Sweet garden. Sweet friends. Sweet time in a lovely place. I would love to have been there to join you two. ~Adrienne~

Sounds like a lovely day. Every time I think of the name Rhoda, a name I seldom hear, I think of that TV show! Is she like that Rhoda? Anyway, what's more fun than a day with a girlfriend, lovely flowers, and a sweet little place to have lunch? Can't get much better than that, Kim.

Hello Kim,
Sounds like you had a lovely visit with your friend. What a lovely place to visit and spend time and the lunch menu looks wonderful. Yes, I would love to have a little pink cottage. My first home we painted a soft pink rose color. I still call it my little pink house. I do now have pink as one of my trim colors on my green
house. Thank for sharing your lovely day Pinkie Denise

Hi Kim,
What beautiful photos. Sounds like you ladies had a blast while out and about.

Gee, I think I would have ordered the Cream of Asparagus soup - yummy!

So, what dessert did you have?

Happy May Day, Kim!

I completely agree with you! Red is my first favorite color, then pink! Your photos of it are just gorgeous!! You are so lucky to have such a good friend there to do these things with. Happy May Kim!

Hi Kim
What an adorable pink place. My house is yellow too but if I could I would paint it pink and have light aqua shutters. Hubby probably wouldn't agree but a girl can dream can't she. You had the best day, my favorite kind to have, eating and shopping. Thanks for the beautiful photos and I will be sure and check Rhoda's blog out. Happy May Day!

Hugs,
LeAnn :)

~ Good day Kim,
Your pictures of the pretty pink house, Lavender and Lace, and those mouth watering desserts were so easy on the eye this morning!!!! Thank you so much for your talent and ablity to capture so many "precious moments" for all of us to see. It really brightens and shines my days. Even when it's not so sunny or warm out here in upstate New York. Enjoy !

What a wonderful, magical place. I want to live in a pink house too!

[Rosemary]

Aw, i'd love to have a tearoom! How lucky you have such a pretty one nearby!
Do you know we almost bought a pink victorian house before we bought the one we ended up with. It was called the Barbie house by the kids in the neighborhood! LOL!

[Donna]

If that is not the cutest little place...I know ya'll had a blast - going over to Rhoda's to check it out. The flowers are stunning!!!!

I just love the tea room. My friends and I have gone to them in the past and they are a delight. So sweet and peaceful. And that dessert! Wow!!!!!!

Now isn't that house just the cutest!? Kim, I left a May Day surprise by your door, but you'll need to visit my blog to get it. How would that be? Hope your day is so beautiful. Just like you! Love,Rachel

Loved your post and the flowers ~
The tea room is gorgeous. Glad you and your friend had a wonderful day.

Accidentally posted my "pink house" comment on your "yellow daisy lampshade" post, so I'll add here, where it correctly belongs, that your photography is so so beautiful. Your posts are always so chock-full of pix. You inspire me to be a little more word-conservative on my posts and amp up the use of photos. Makes for such a lovely visit to your blog.

It is so wonderful that the two of you have been able to spend time together.

Lavender and Lace looks absolutely delightful. We have a fine linen store here by that name, and it is wonderful, too.

I can't think of anything more perfect than a pink or yellow house.

[marge]

HI Kim...what a delightful little tea room! The tea houses in my city have all closed up for one reason or another and I certainly miss going there. These photos remind me of some sweet moments with my girls.

[Annette Marcum]

I discovered your site and have so enjoyed it. I love the Paula Deen Tour. We plan a vacation to Hilton Head and we will now spend some time in Savannah.
I like your yellow house and I dream of a front porch.
My husband and I pastor a church in WV.
I am a mommy of 2 children. CK out my site, I am adding you to my favorites.
The tea house looks devine... Nice to meet you.

Kim, you took my breath away with this magical pink post. I loved everything from the pink house to the pink flowers and that decadent looking dessert.

[Cassie Shella]

Hi Kim, I must admit I'm a little envious of your lovely afternoon. But ahh, I will think of that wonderful tea room, the beautiful roses, and the lovely lace curtain in the window when I get stressed today! Thank you, Cassie

I must admit....I'm so jealous! I want to spend a day like that with you too.

Isn't Rhoda sweet? I'm so glad she and I have been able to spend time together several times...and will again soon.

Hi,

Love all your photos. Denise

[Donna]

I agree Kim!

I love Pink and I would love to have the opportunity to decorate a little cottage completely in the soft shades of pink.

I love all of your pictures. Thanks for sharing!

[Lisa]

Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day and you have the wonderful pictures to show for it.

The gardens are beautiful and so is that cake-lol. Yummy.

Have a great weekend.

[jen]

hmm.. it's nice, but you know, it's really floofy. i know that's the style they're going for, but it's OVER THE TOP. and your place is perfect... for me. i love all the red you use in it. and yellow is a sunny bright colour, but it's not so incredibly feminine that it hurts. you know?

[BumbleVee]

ohhhhhh... yummy dessert.......lovely tea room.....
