A recent post on For The Love of a House, a fabulous blog written by a fellow Dallas transplant living in the Northeast, got me thinking about a little detail from our renovation that I hadn’t shared.
Right off of our side porch are stepping stones. That wasn’t the original plan, but you know how things don’t always go as planned. Luckily, this did lead to a fun detail…the addition of mazus in between the stones.
It’s a small thing, but it adds a different hue and texture to our yard.
It spreads very easily and has pretty little purple flowers…though I only found one last night when I took these photos.
And, while I was outside, I couldn’t resist taking a photo of my new golf bag that arrived today. Leave it to my husband to find me a pretty pink one.
Summer is winding down….so here’s to a relaxing weekend whether you’re on the links, the courts, the beach or by the pool.
A life well lived is in the details!
Beautiful, Elizabeth. I love the little flower, and the stepping stones look great.
I LOVE your golf bag! Great job on our husband's part.
Happy Friday,
Teresa

Love the little flowers around the stepping stones and it will keep weeds from growing there! Love the pink golf bag. I don't golf (tried once actually threw the entire club when I took a swing – hanging head in shame), but if I did golf I would want the pink golf bag!! xo
Only you would carry a pink golf bag! Happy weekend! xx

I love vinca in a walk way! And the pink golf is so you! Kudos to your husband for being so thoughtful! Like you, I believe the details are the little things that bring us happiness. Have a wonderful weekend!
It looks so pretty! And the golf bag is very pretty too! Pretty pink things indeed.
Great look with the stepping stones. And that pink bag will have you sittin' pretty on those greens!

LOVE the look of your walk way, not to mention your sweet golf bag! xx
Golfing in style! pretty perfect pink for you! have a great weekend!
wow – i love that vinca minor! great idea, now my mind is wondering where i can put it in my yard 🙂
LOVE that detail!! When we set the bluestone on our terrace, I insisted on leaving room for the moss!! And much to my husband's dismay, the only appealing thing about golf for me at this point is the accoutrements!! Even he recognizes that I would probably find it more frustrating than enjoyable!!
Love the vinca so much! What a pretty detail it adds. I also am envious over that pretty pink golf bag! Hope you are on the greens in the morning!
Such a pretty walkway Elizabeth! We are planning to create a similar look on the path next to our home.. love those little flowers peaking through and WOW! the golf bag is so perfect!
Have a nice weekend!
Sweet post and SWEET new golf bag!
Happy weekend Elizabeth!

Love the golf bag!! We used this same plant at our bar, outside patio area in a planter below a fountain. The stuff is like magic! Have a great weekend!!!

Love, love the stepping stones surrounded by the flowers…a fabulous detail. Enjoy every last minute of your Summer. XO, Mona
Wow…so beautiful, Elizabeth and I'm really excited to do this between mine!!
I love the stepping stones with the greens around it…just beautiful!
Have a great week!

Hi Elizabeth – Beautiful landscaping! Please show us more 🙂
If I played golf, I'd have a cute bag too. BTW, I hope your herb container garden is growing well.
Cheers,
Loi
