Cottages and Roses Paintings #3

As a lot of women have been emailing me about my blogging tutorial I've noticed a couple of problems they are having with their photos. I'm trying to help as much as I can and there are a few of you who have had direct questions about uploading them to the blog in a certain order and/or rearranging them. Therefore, I have added an update to my blogging tutorial at the very end concerning how to do it in the order you'd like. It has never ever failed me when I do this. It's a very, very simple thing to do and you can read about it on my blogging tutorial by clicking on the right hand side bar the 4th icon down—my little lamp. Check it out and if there are any questions, I'd be happy to try and help you.

I love pink and it's my favorite color as you can see if you view my home on the right sidebar.

These are her peonies. I love peonies for their fragrance.


This so touched my heart because I collect birdhouses and have a log cabin one actually. Of course it's froufrou-ed up with roses and ribbons but not too far different from the one below.

Doesn't every one of us dream of this type of idyllic life? I do. A peaceful small cottage at the end of a stone path with beautiful trees surrounding it.

A couple of blue transferware pots of tulips, lilys, jonquils and pansies.

A wrought iron bench in a private walled garden and listening to the tinkle of the fountain.

More adorable birdhouses.

Another beautiful floral bouquet on an old hutch.

Waiting for your loved one to arrive home while sitting beside a tiny babbling brook.

  1. Connie,

    Beautiful pictures. They are so relaxing. It makes me think of summer even though it's only 10 degrees here today.

    Have a great day my friend.

  2. Connie:

    Thanks for the lovely pictures and especially for the tutorial update. I have always uploaded them in reverse order which can be confusing but this would be so easy and I can't wait to try it.

    Have a Terrific Tuesday

  8. No, Connie..........YOU'RE the SWEET chick..what a bundle of work you put into your blogging tutorial. I'm thrilled to have found it! Boy, do I need help. I get so darn frustrated. Oddly, I just blogged today about having trouble getting my pictures in the right order and still ended up with one MIA....CRAZY makin'.......I haven't worked with your detailed instructions yet, but believe me........I WILL! Bless your little heart.

    It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your daughter too......I am crazy about mine. She's 29 too! No, not really.......she'll be 38 in April. I cannot figure out how that happened and how can we be the same age now?? :-)

    I'm adding you to my list of favs......

    Thanks again, you're a peach.

    Hugs,
    Spencer
