Last night I was walking through my home, with my camera in hand, looking for something for this week's Show and Tell. I realized that you've seen everything in my home...numerous times! I'm not buying as many things as I used to which makes it harder to find things to blog about but I really can't justify buying things just for the purpose of blogging about them! Haha!
I thought I would share my patio this week. It's hardly in prime form but I thought it would be great to share a photo now and then again in another few months when it is at it's best. We've had so much rain this Spring so I haven't put out the cushions and pillows yet. It's just about time to start planting impatiens and in a few months there will be a lot more color back here! I can hardly wait! This garden was bare when I moved in here 6 years ago this month! Little by little it's turning into a jungle!
The focal point on my patio is my yard conservatory made by Linda at Linda's Blue Gate. I still swoon over it every time I see it!

Cindy, I love your patio. I remember it from rms. It will look awesome again. I love the lights you have out there.
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING! I could spend hours in that back yard! AMAZING! P.S. I linked up too, so thanks you Cindy! JENN
ReplyDeleteI love your patio and the neat window conservatory. I am cleaning out my detached sun room to make a cozy new space hopefully! It's been full of all my booth stuff and has been a bear to clean and sort and toss so much stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the party!
Your patio and yard looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty patio! I can imagine a warm spring evening out there with all the candles lit and a nice glass of wine...love your fountain and the conservatory, really lovely! I am so sick of the rain, today's sunshine was just what I needed! Hope you got to get outside for a bit!
Have a great weekend.

I love seeing your home, even when you posted it before, because you are always changing things around, which inspires me to change mine around! You are so creative and it motivates me to be creative, too! So please keep doing what you're doing, we all are trying to use what we have in this economy!
ReplyDeleteI could look at patios and gardens all day. Your's is so stunning. I like the lighting. It makes it look soft and warm. Your greenhouse is to die for. The fountain looks perfect. Actually everything looks perfect. I have a small closet where I cleared the bottom out to hold my pillows when it rains, too. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteCindy, your patio is so wonderful! I can only imagine how gorgeous it's going to be when the flowers all bloom. I am currently working on my two patios & deck. I just purchased pillows, flowers, string lights & solar path lights. Hopefully by next Friday I can show my outdoor spaces. Hope they come out half as beautiful as yours! Thanks for hosting Show & Tell Friday.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, My yard isn't nearly ready for posting! I lost a lot of my precious vines this past December when we had that horrible cold snap. I still feel blessed to live in California though! Have a great time in Napa, if you can stop at Trinitas Cellars.875 Bordeaux Wy.in Napa. It's incredible with it's resort and wine caves. They even have a spa in their caves, the only one like it in the U.S. My niece is the director of marketing. Marcia
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, Your right it's like stepping into another world such as a jungle with some eye catching pieces... what a lovely Oasis you have set your patio space up to be.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy.. Your patio already looks gorgeous! I swoon over your conservatory too!
ReplyDeleteBella
I'm looking forward to planting my annuals this year too. I'm still a month and a half away though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting a great Show & Tell!

Your patio is so pretty! I took pics. of my courtyard this evening, but have not had a chance to upload them and delete the duds. I am joining in this week. Thanks so much for hosting again this week.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend. I would love a conservatory like that, but I have a hickory nut tree hanging over my courtyard. :-(
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour patio looks great right now! I can't imagine it much better! I look forward to more pics when you get your flowers planted and cushions, but for now, it looks great! Thanks for hosting another Show and Tell Friday!
This has really been a breath of fresh air for me Cindy! It is Fall here in OZ and it is cold and rainy outside...I loved reading your post today as it has cheered me up immensely!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for having me again for your beautiful party. I love spending time here!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Wow, Cindy! Your patio is beautiful! And...your yard conservatory is gorgeous! Thanks for hosting! Have a wonderful weekend...Debbie

though you had a small set back
with it. I hope you have fun in
Napa this weekend,be careful.:O)
It doesn't matter how many times we see your home! It's wonderful each and every time:) You just come across as such a warm and kind person that regardless of what you post, I think it's the warmth of who you are that will always bring people back:) Your home reflects your personality and I don't still don't feel that I've seen all the nooks and crannies of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting Show and Tell, I know with your busy schedule it's not an easy task but I so look forward to it:)
Hi Cindy! Great post! Love the patio, especially the lights. Well, I did it! I followed your blog button instructions to the letter and, well, it's DONE! YEAHHHHHHHH! I'm joining Show and Tell for the first time. Can you hear me hooting all the way from the east? Sincerely, Susan
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour patio is beautiful! The yard conservatory is so pretty...even without the flowers, you've done a lovely job with all the greenery. The lights are pretty too. Your cherub fountain is very sweet!
Have a fun weekend in Napa!
It looks so pretty out there. Can you believe that we are just now starting to have the buds on our trees pop out. Some of the trees are still sticks though.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteEverything is looking beautiful as usual. I love the conservatory in your garden.
Thank you for hosting,
Carolyn
Your patio is spectacular, if this is how it looks when it is not "in prime form" then I can't imagine how beautiful Prime Form will be!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this fun day!
Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!
Your patio is so charming and cozy! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the new *linky thing*, too!
Cindy, I love the gorgeous conservatory and your patio. Thanks for hosting Show and Tell Friday. I always enjoy looking at all the links.
ReplyDeleteI am a little envious of your patio. I have a small patio but it's common area at my condo so I can't decorate it the way I want.
ReplyDeleteYour patio looks like a peaceful retreat by day and a romantic spot by candlelight in the evening. Perfect!
Your yard looks like such a beautiful and relaxing little escape from the world! I love the lights! You must just love to come home! Thanks for hosting this day! It's my first posting here! Have a wonderful Friday and hope the sun shines for you this weekend! Sherri : )
ReplyDeleteLove the window conservatory, Cindy. Your father's table makes such a lovely base for it! The fountain was a great find, so charming!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend in Napa!
Cheers!
Tina

Cindy I love your little garden and I have wanted one of those conservatories for ever, I was going to have Jeff make me one but I never went on the search for old windows. Your garden looks so pretty with all the white lights, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteHugs~Kelly
Your backyard looks magical. Have a great weekend, it sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteToday's the last day to enter my GIVEAWAY !
You have a terrific patio, even when not in full bloom.
ReplyDeleteBeing in NY, mine still looks very bare. You'rs looks beautiful.
The conservatory is awesome. What inside of it???
I noticed when I came back to add a comment that my photo for my link didn't take. Not sure why. Is there any way to go back and fix it?
- The Tablescaper
OK, skip that, the photo is there now. I guess it took a bit for it to come through.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. Can't wait to hear about Napa!!!

It looks just magical with the lights. As another commented said, it looks like a secret getaway.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Hadn't seen your window house yet.
ReplyDeleteOh my...lovely romantic glow from the garden. Doesn't get much better than this.
ReplyDeleteI haven't participated for sometime and wasn't up on the changes. I know I'm too late to join today's link but just posted a poem my 92 yr. old MIL wrote.
Thanks for taking on this task and again, love your garden.
Friday Blessings ;-)
Hi Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and your photos are fabulous! Your garden is mesmerizing and so inspiring!
I;ll definitely be back for another visit!!
Lynn
We have had so much rain that I have not had much of a chance to work in my garden. Yours is lovely as it is now and will be spectacular when everything is in bloom. I love that conservatory, just fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Beautiful patio! It must be gorgeous when all is in bloom. We have 3/4 acre of mostly grass, but between our house and a new house next door is a narrow bit of land and I am trying to plan an enclosed garden for that area -- for privacy, and for views out our sunroom of something other than the side of the neighbor's garage!
ReplyDeleteI am going to refer back to your patio for inspiration!
Cass
I would never tire of looking at your pretty patio! You have such a way of creating both indoor and outdoor vignettes that are wonderful!

Cindy, I adore your patio. And I would recognize it anywhere. In fact I saw it somewhere recently and said to myself: Yep, that's Cindy's patio with Linda's conservatory! I have got to get myself one of those.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Cindy...
ReplyDeleteMy friend, your patio is simply gorgeous...even though all of your flowers haven't bloomed yet! I love your yard conservatory...it makes such a grand statement! Ohhh...and your beautiful cherub fountain is sooo pretty! I love what you've done, my friend...I certainly would love to just relax and enjoy there!
Thank you so much for hosting Show & Tell Friday! Have a fabulous weekend with your friends, Darlin'!
Warmest wishes,

Gosh, Cindy, I don't even know if you have time to read all of these... I love what you have done to your yard. It has so much drama and sophistication for an outside place. I am totally impressed. Also, just a couple of weeks ago I learned about these blog hopping things... Metamorphosis Monday?... I will try to join in on your Friday hop. Also, I have a giveaway over at my blog, if you are interested.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I love your blog. Many times I thought that your landlord must totally love having you for a tenant. You take such good care of your little home. You are an inspiration to us all. Francie M
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy pictures of your home and patio, Cindy. You do an amazing job with both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful patio!
ReplyDeleteI love the cherub fountain! Wish i had a garden to put one in.
Have a wonderful saturday night!
Your patio looks very welcoming! Love the window conservatory that Linda made. I met her last year at Canton---very nice and talented lady. After discovering your blog about a year ago, I was hooked. So many creative and wonderful women out there in blogland. I could not resist and just published my own blog. I remember sometime back you stated that if anyone needed help getting started you would be glad to help. I may be taking you up on that. Your blog is a real treat! Thanks Lisha
