Conservatories


Hello dear friends!

I can not believe that today is the first day of autumn already!! Well, over here it is  autumn and officially my favourite season... It is a balmy beautiful evening in Cape Town and a cascading starry sky hangs above us!  Totally gorgeous.

As I was on my way home from a service for the World Wide Day of Prayer for Women I was wondering what I am going to blog about and then I checked into my blog and my eye fell on this beautiful conservatory...and voila! I was on a mission....




The conservatory above is my favourite of all time! It is also from one of my favourite houses ever... Henk and Monika Smith's amazing home, of which I can never get enough!

So, then I found a few more that grabbed my fancy...




This image is quite amazing... you can quickly bend down and retrieve your jaw from the ground!

It's like a dream, isn't it? I could not find the correct  photo credit and it just said  Winter Palace . Does anyone know?

Anyway, I could do a great deal of daydream believing in there!!! It's like a movie set for a romantic scene and ..well...let your imagination go... a proposal perhaps?





These beauties are at Schonbrunn Palace Vienna. Love the shape and can you just imagine the treasures they hold?




Everything we need is here... beautiful shapes, a chandy, an elegant bench,  a water feature and one of my favourite tree ferns...perfect!




Is it just me or does a conservatory hold a sense of mystique for you as well?

 



Just the place to while away a lazy Sunday....



The architectural detail on conservatories are always beguling.



I think its time to take a look at some daybeds for another post. I bet you all have a favourite lurking in your wish list closet!



Enchanting...



On Monday I will introduce another wonderful blog in my Blog it Forward Series and on Tuesday is our monthly international Bloggers post for "By Invitation Only" and this time I will be taking you on a tour of my wonderful city of Cape Town!



Have a fab Friday

Live well

Veronica
