{Hydrangeas & Mother-in-law's Tablecloth}

On May 29, we happened to have some gorgeous blue hydrangeas from our garden. So I did team them up with the hand embroidered blue tablecloth from my late Mother-in-law.
Don't you just love such blue color?
This draw work embroidery tablecloth I've had now for over three decades and it still looks like new.
A wider view into our garden...
Photo is taken from the patio in front of our Rose Suite.
This is the view from the patio, towards our gazebo and the newly placed rose arbor.
Guests do have their own private entrance here...
There are rose stepping stones towards the path to the gazebo.
Guests also can enjoy the perfume of the gardenias that bloom right outside of the entrance door.
These are the regular sized gardenias, not the large ones that I showed a couple of days ago.
May/June sure is a happy time of the year with so many flowers to enjoy!
Do you have hydrangeas as well?

  3. I have some Hydrangea's in pots and one in the soil. The climate in my garden isn't very favourable to these beautiful plants. Too hot and dry. they need more humidity. Yours look gorgeous! Very nice with the tablecloth. My gardenia is in bloom too at the moment. Love the smell.
    Groetjes !

  7. Zo leuk dat je de kleur van het tafelkleed kan aanpassen aan de kleur van de bloemen. Hoeveel heb je er?

    1. Beste Marianne,
      Mijn schoonmoeder maakte er ook een in wit op wit en een in bruin... Dus dit is uniek om mét bloemen te kunnen gebruiken.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

  10. Het is en blijft mooi dit speciaal geweven Beiersbontstof waarbij je door de lusjes op het stof een bepaald patroon borduurd wat een leuk effect geeft.
    En in deze blauwe kleur perfect past bij de kleur van Hortensia.
    Echt een zomers tafelkleed voor buiten.
    Heb al vele jaren Hortensia struiken in de tuin en die bloeien elk jaar met blauwe en roze bloemen en daar knip ik de hele zomer van tijd tot tijd wat vanaf voor in de vaas,moet nog even geduld hebben want ze zijn nu nog klein en beginnen pas op kleur te komen.
    In het najaar worden ze oudroze van kleur en dat vind ik niet mooi dus drogen daar komt het bij mij niet van,maak wel eens kransen om weg te geven of steek een gevlochten mand vol gedroogde bloemen voor liefhebbers.
    Kreeg zondag van dochter een buiten Hortensia in pot die van lila naar blauw zal verkleuren en er zitten wel 20 bloemen in.Staat hier onder het serre raam zodat ik er vanaf mijn bedje van kan genieten.
    Dankjewel Mariette voor je lieve beterschapswensen!!!

    Fijn weekeind en lieve groet,
    Ger

  11. Hello Mariette, Often I am not too fond of blue hydrangeas, but yours fit so well with that blue cloth and green yards that I am beginning to change my mind!

  12. Your hydrangeas are beautiful! I love the blue color. It perfectly matches the tablecloth, and the vase as well. I don't have hydrange here, but I remember having them in my home in Japan when I was kid. I enjoyed lovely blue and pink colors in June :-)

  15. Beautiful blue hydrangea, Mariette. These are some of my favorite blooms to buy at the market. Wish I had my own bush. How special to have that gorgeous cloth from your MIL. It's perfect with the hydrangeas.

    Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

  19. Ein blauer Traum, liebe Mariette! Ich wünschte mir auch blaue Hortensien, doch meine blaue begann in diesem Jahr rosa zu blühen. Nun habe ich Essig um den Strauch verteilt, wie ich im Gärtnerblog las und werde noch Nägel in den Erdboden stecken. Neben dem Blau-Dünger müssen diese Maßnahmen doch hoffentlich greifen. Denn extra ein Beet mit saurer Erde anlegen, das wäre mir jetzt doch zu viel Aufwand!

    Liebste Grüße
    Sara
