A Garden is in Your Future

Last Fourth of July my Mom, sister and I took a trip to Savannah, Georgia. On the night we arrived the riverfront hotel had free wine and cheese. After a couple drinks, we tipsily walked down the river street and made our way through crowds and quaint shops. On our walk we decided to stop into a psychic...just a "ha wouldn't this be funny!" moment. This was an abnormal thing for us, but the read was pretty interesting. The "psychic" told me, among other things, that I would always live near water. Of course we all screamed LAKE HOUSE!! In a past post I mentioned it was my family's dream to one day own a lake house.

So, what does a garden have to do with all this? Today I remembered the words of the psychic, laughed, and became my own psychic. In my future house I see a beautiful garden with fresh flowers, herbs, and veggies. For now, I daydream with these garden inspirations from Marie Claire Maison. What's in your future?


Future LAKE HOUSE?!?! Please sir.

  2. Gorgeous! I dream of a little courtyard-type backyard like this. We've got the "little" part down...;)

    Funny that I took a break from online shopping for a railing planter just like the ones in the first photo! I wish I could find some :)

  4. no. really? no.

    I did the same thing in Savannah, Georgia, when we were walking down the river front. We probably went to the same person!! Well, maybe : )

    I dream of reuniting with a long lost love, living in a cabin by the beach, with nobody around.

    Oh, to dream.

  9. How pretty...I wish a garden was in my NEAR future but not until we buy a home, I'm not putting the money into a rental! It's funny, because I've been thinking of gardens & landscaping a lot lately!!

  14. Lovely gardesn, if one of those is in my future I'll take it!

    I once went to a tarot card reader who was part of the entertanment at a big corporate party in New Orleans. I thought it was fun and silly, and wrote down her predictions and tucked them away. I found them when I moved about 8 years later and realized most of them were dead on. Freaky!

  19. Diana, these gardens are STUNNING. I adore all of them, especially the one up top with the door and all the ivy. These are the images that actually make me consider leaving the city.

  20. Crazy about the predictions from the tarot card reading. She also told me one day I will start a business and have twins...ekkk!

    I have a rental too, and don't want to put much effort into my tiny porch. But, looks like some of these could be pulled off on city porches.
