Mackinac Island~Lilacs~and~Dreams

Hi friends,

were having perfect sunny spring weather here this week!

But... unfortunately last weeks weather was a bit on the cloudy and rainy side, so I spent more time indoors, and was hardly able to even enjoy
my favorite lilac bush thats been in bloom and now fading fast.

 

But before they finally fade away for another year
I wanted to create a table setting/vignette on my patio that is
reminiscent of a special place
I read about in the above issue of Victoria Magazine
years ago called Mackinac Island.

Mackinac Island is a charming place by the sea

in the state of Michigan where Lilacs grow abundant.

  

Where it's lush and green, and Victorian architecture lines the streets. 

Where the people are friendly and smile as they pass by...

Where you can take a horse and carriage ride,

while breathing in the sweet fragrance that drifts through the air.

As I sat in the warm sunshine by the poolside

I imagined myself there at Mackinac Island...

the fragrance of the lilacs at my table, a small Victorian (bird)house,

starfish from the sea, and a cool drink...   

The only thing missing was you...

and a horse and carriage!

Maybe next time!

Till then hugs and sweet dreams!
