Marionberry season!

Marionberries are in season here in Oregon and since my Etsy shop is named MARIONBERRY COTTAGE, I am celebrating in both my shops!

To see the feature I did on the marionberry, for its history and trivia pop over to the Etsy Cottage Style Blog

I picked a gorgeous bouquet!

I just had to share! My David Austin roses are blooming so beautifully right now and the baby's breath is too. I was out early this morning and could not resist! I grabbed one of my treasured Laura Ashley vase and voila! Now I am not floral arranger, but it doesn't take much with such pretty roses....

Another gorgeous summer day!

It's my day off from the not so favorite day job! I am in such a good mood this morning-- it is a beautiful summer day here in western Oregon. The raspberries and marionberries are ripe for the picking and I am headed out to pick my lot! We will indulge on many fresh berries, but most will go in the freezer to enjoy during the winter.

Since I couldn't get a lot of interest in the Summer Porch Challenge--well---I am just going to challenge myself and decorate my porch and patio!! Anyone else that emails me with pics by July 31, I will feature you here too!
