Once again I'm a little late with this week's edition of the Weekly Link Round-Up. You see, I have a horrible case...
...of spring fever.
If you don't believe me, take a look at the photo above. I have an entire fence covered with tiny white Lady Banksia roses-- and hundreds more blooms. The soft scent of roses wafts gently through my open windows. So spring is my excuse for being late, and I'm sticking to it!
But it's time for me to get back on track and share the links I did manage to find in the past week. Here goes nuthin'!

Good links as usual, but first of all I loved your flowers! Thank you for sharing your spring fever with us!
ReplyDeleteLove the Summer Houses. What a fun idea.... I like the reading room surrounded by garden but I imagine making it in the likes of a fictional house from one of the great books..... now which house would it be..... Walden's little retreat?
ReplyDeleteBeth-- I don't remember why the book didn't appeal to me either. I have to admit that I do tend to be a fan of Julia Roberts.
ReplyDeleteMash-- I had a horrible experience with Yankee Candle one year, so I've boycotted them ever since. :(
Dorte-- You're welcome! :)
Sheila-- That certainly sounds good to me!
Everyone at my house wants to go to the Harry Potter theme park so bad!
ReplyDeleteJeanne-- It does look like fun!
