Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday, hosted by Susan at A Southern DayDreamer.My neighbor had the afternoon off from baby sitting her little granddaughter yesterday and we headed for Santa Cruz. You'll never guess what I forgot to bring with me.... Yep, I forgot the camera. So no pictures of ocean waves and surfers, or the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, or adorable cottages with white picket fences and pretty flowers.
I almost did a happy dance when I found the perfect plant at the nursery. It's an angel vine wrapping around a little rusted metal arbor.
Look how sweet the angel vine looks in the teacup planter. She's thrilled with her new plant in her beloved teacup planter. I told her it's an angel vine for an angel... She liked that...
I'm amazed the amaryllis is still blooming and couldn't believe my luck when I was able to take Sammie's picture without the usual squinting her eyes, or running for cover whenever I point the camera at her.
(Click on the photos to enlarge.)Susan, thank you for hosting this fun weekly event. You can visit A Southern Daydreamer to see the other Outdoor Wednesday posts, by clicking HERE.
Enjoy!

Happy Outdoor Wednesday Diane! You found the perfect plant for the teacup! Thanks for sharing your photos.~ Susan
Diane,
Happy Outdoor Wednesday to you and precious Sammie. My daughter has a black Romeo, who got his name because he has a white outline of a heart on his chest. He is spoiled rotten, and to be sooooo little he sure can run and has a huge appetite.
I love that teacup planter very much...is that plant really called an angel vine....I am going to try and find one
hugs and blessings

Hi Diane,

I've seen those large tea cups - yours turned out beautiful with the angel vine.
Sammie is a cutie!! The camera is the last thing put in the purse before I go anywhere!! lol
I love the colors in the teacup and of cause Sammie

Hi Diane
Love the tea cup planter idea... :)
I have been missing reading your blog.. I am back... hopefully for good after all the mess I have been going through!
I love Santa Cruz. So sorry you forgot the camera. My consolation? The tea cup is a great find.
What a great pairing... that is such a sweet little plant!
Some mornings I feel like I could use that cup full of coffee just to get moving!
That is the perfect plant for the teacup planter...I saw those, too and thought they were so cute!
I'll have to check with hubby about the "lobstah" roll recipe...I know it has lobster and onion and celery and miracle whip...but he does make them...
Happy TT!
;-D
Love your unique planter.
That planter is so blasted cute! And perfect for the patio...and I love love the plant you found for it. It's a great combo!
Diane,
I have been seeing those teacups around Blogland and I think you hit the mark with planting the angel vine in your DIL's. It is so cute! :-)
And that little Sammie...well she is just precious coming or going!!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
xoxo
Jane
Hi Diane! Love your cute planter! That Sammie is a doll! She should meet my little chihuahua granddog Paco! Have a great weekend...hugs...Debbie
that tea cup looks great! now I will know what to plant in mine! I have two..that I am scared to plant in...in case it looks icky....as for the squinting eyes...those are smiles mom!
Okay - you just gave me a great idea! Love the planter. I'm now off to go look at mugs in my cabinet...
i adore so much your tea cups
Thanks for your nice comment about my General Motors sorrow. It's difficult for me to accept the "romance" of the era has now completely been shattered and died.
GM will come out of the bankruptcy, but it will never be the same again...sigh.
I so feel your pain, Sophie is not a willing photographic subject either.
That plant is so cute and perfect for your teacup! I see lots of other pretties in the background too.
You're lucky you threw in a cute dog pic at the end, Diane. When I read the line, "I forgot my camera", I was tempted to not read on. What kind of blogger are you dammit!?
Justine :o )
I got my daughter one of those cups for her classroom, the kids loved it. I love your little dog...
That is really pretty, Diane! and Sammie is so cute! Your garden is gorgeous!...Christine
Cute, cute! I love the darling plant...just perfect in the cup!
I think Sammie was posing for you because she wanted to be on the blog. All your babies are sweet and lucky to have you to love.
Happy Twirls
Hi dear Diane! Sorry if I have been away for such a long time! You are all in my thoughts, but unfortunately I am not ready yet to blog as usual!
In any case... those beaches are in Cape Cod, MA.
Glad you liked them- it is a place so dear to my hert!
Hugs,
Monicax.
I've never seen the "angel vine", but now I want to look for one. It is so delicate and lacy - love it! Linda
Hi Diane,
Goodness - the big tea cup is adorable and the angel vine you found to plant in it is just perfect.
Have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Erin
Sammy is so cute!
I saw those planters at WalMart and want one so bad. I might give in and buy one for myself. :)
