Welcome back to Boxwood Cottage in July dear blogging friends and readers!
At first I'd just like to show you a few impressions from my summer garden
And then some of my latest solder works
I've swapped 3 of these pendants with lovley flickr friends and kept one for myself to wear
Here you can see me wearing my pendant:
Can you ever get enough of roses? I surely can't and I love to bring them in the house freshly picked from the garden like the Rokoko roses in my picture above. Below you see a close up of my beautiful English David Austin rose "Heritage":
And as always in summer I have to show you another picture of my beautiful Eden85/Pierre de Ronsard rose:
Another rose bouquet freshly picked on a rainy Sunday to bring the garden inside:
Here I spend a wonderful Sunday afternoon with roses and beautiful home and garden magazines dreaming up new decorations and garden corners:
Talking about beautiful magazines I have a swap to offer to two of you, I'd offer you one of these beautiful German garden-living-creative magazines
and one of these brand new round pendants:
if someone of my dear US blogging friends would be so kind to send me the latest Somerset Life magazine (July issue) in return and from another one of you I'd be so thankful for the last Somerset Life issue with the pink glass glitter bottle on the cover!
They are so hard to come by over here and you'd make me very happy if you'd swap them with me! Just leave me a comment or send me an email and I'll get back to you asap!
Also I like to thank you all very much for the lovely comments you have left on my last posts, they were such a great pleasure to read! :)
Have a beautiful new summer week everyone!
Hugs Carola xox

Hi! Sorry I cannot help you. We share the same problem; those issues aren't available here either and are so expensive when you let them send by a company. Your garden is sooo beautiful! We had such a nice garden wheater in June and the first week of July. I hope it stays like this till November! Have a nice week!
Oops and of course I like your new pendants very very much, just forgot to say...
Carola I can see that you are enjoying all those wonderful roses you grow in your garden!Wonderful images of scenes from your garden and lovely vignettes and a small peek-a-boo view of YOU!
I have surrounded myself with frills from my garden as I prepare all my details for our trip to Europe. I will be emailing you soon.hugs NG
What a delightful post!
Happy summer days, Carol!!!
So glad for your new post and photos. Impressive as usual. Could I borrow you and your garden ideas for a couple of weeks in the good old USA? If only it were possible. You are one creative lady. I wish I could help you with the magazines but I have never seen or heard of them before. I love your new creations too. Have a wonderful day. Jean in Roanoke, Virginia
Congratulations Carol, your new pendants are so lovely! And I especially like the third picture of the little cute terracotta girl next to my pottery rose balls! She's so sweet!
By the way, I just made the plant markers for your roses, you should get them by the end of this week at the very latest (I still need to finish reading your magazines!)

Hi, Carol,
You are getting so very good at making those soldered pendants, I think they look better and better each time. Love them all. Your garden is gorgeous as always, I love visiting here.Thanks for sharing.
Hallo Carola, bei Deinen Posts komme ich jedes Mal ins Träumen. Dein Garten und Deine Deko sind jedes Mal wieder ein Erlebnis für die Augen. Macht großen Spaß, sich hier in Deinem Blog umzusehen.
LG, Birgit
Was für wundervolle Fotos du hier wieder zeigst, einfach traumhaft schön! Dieses Jahr war ein besonders gutes Rosenjahr und alle haben prächtig geblüht. Ich bin allerdings immer zu geizig mir Rosen oder überhaupt Blumen aus dem Garten in die Wohnung zu holen, da schaue ich sie mir lieber draussen an. Ausserdem meint Leo dann immer, dass er an ihnen rumfressen muss, lol!
LG Lis
Hallo Carola!
Wie immer wundervolle Fotos aus deinem Heim und Garten! Deine Leseecke sieht wirklich sehr gemütlich aus. Da würde ich auch ins Träumen kommen.
Deine neuesten Kreationen gefallen mir natürlich auch sehr gut.
LG und eine schöne Woche wünscht dir Daniela!
gorgeous & well shot - your work is presented really well

Hi Carol!
I can help you with the current July issue of Somerset Life if you still need it. Not sure if I can still get the other one.
Beautiful garden as always and the pendants are fabulous!

Hi Carol. You are doing a beautiful job creating those pendants. I enjoyed looking at them.
Your newest soldering is just amazing! I love the new shapes you are working with. I have been soldering lately too...getting inspired by your goodies!
Hello,
Wondering if you sell your pendants...also if you ever want to swap with me for something for a pendant, ask away! They are stunning.

Hello! What a beautiful blog. I just happened to type in Australia garden blog in google and yours came up first. I feel like I fell into the magazine "Victoria". It's so beautiful. I love roses, too, and gardening! I'm going to be checking back often.
