I love geraniums…
in pretty pinks, bold reds, salmon colors and soft whites..
I love them.
I plant both upright and ivy geraniums in my window boxes on the house
and in planters through out the yard.
In hanging baskets and little clay pots…
gorgeous.
They always bring such a burst of pretty color and leafy texture.
This red geranium looks quite at home on the sideboard don’t you think?
Some of the plants came inside with the cold and snow this week but have
all made their way back outside into the warm sunshine today.
(Must be time for a sideboard redesign again)
Either lots of allergies or a bug sidelined me a bit this week
so I haven’t gotten too much feathering done around my nest to share with you
but I do have a bunch of projects on the ever growing list to get started
or finished that I hope to be sharing soon.
🙂
So let’s get onto the party~
Can’t wait to see what you have been up to this week!

I am a geranium lover too! They are stunning.

I didn't plant any geraniums this year so I especially love yours. Don't you just hate it when you plant outdoors and then it gets cold and you have to bring it back inside? Many a time I have thrown old sheets on blooming plants to save them. Thanks so much for hosting this fun party. ~
Beautiful in that container Courtney. I am with you on the allergies, they have taken me out for several weeks. I am just starting to get back up to speed. Not fun. Thanks for having us over and linking up!

I just got my geraniums too. I love them-they are just such a sturdy plant and always bloom so beautifully! Lovely post-xxoo Diana
My first time participating. Thanks so much for hosting.
Geraniums are beautiful! Thanks for hosting today!
Oh I so love geraniums also. They are just so cheerful. They do well in the winter in the desert, however the summer just frys them. Yours looks fabulous. Hugs, Marty
Hi Courtney! Geraniums always make me think of France! The trailing kind was on every balcony in my little town! Happy weekend!…hugs…Debbie
I think this is my first time joining up!

I love how geraniums are such an easy quick burst of color, too. Yours look terrific! Thanks for hosting this party each week.
I want to move into that little playhouse! How cute!! I know what I'll be dreaming about tonight. Thanks for hosting!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Courtney, I have never had any luck with geraniums. They always turn yellow and die. I don't know what I do wrong. Thanks for hosting.
Courtney, I've loved geraniums since I was a child. Love the fragrance and the little bouquets of flowers on each stem. I have mostly white ones planted in our garden with a few reds in pots. The red seem to be better bloomers. They are still covered in blooms, but the whites not so much. Thanks for sharing and for hosting each week. ~ Sarah
I love the way geraniums look, just don't think I would do well with one. Thanks for hosting Courtney.
I love geraniums, I always saw them here in spanish balconie's of colonial houses, usually in like hot pink and red ones, just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this beauties and thank you for hosting this great party.
Lots of hugs.

Hello Courtney, The cement urn the geraniums are in is fabulous! I planted several geraniums in pots last weekend.. now just waiting to see if they live. I guess you could say I have a black thumb.
Thanks for hosting.
xo,
Sherry
Hope you are feeling better… allergies are a royal pain.
Hi, Courtney! Ivy geraniums are one of my favorites. Especially in window boxes. Love the way they trail and all the blooms!
Hi Courtney,

Courtney, thank you for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment about my tables 🙂
I love geraniums too, especially the red ones. Your pictures are beautiful. The scented ones are my favorite smell; they remind me of my grandmother's flower bed, overflowing with scented, red geraniums.
Have a great weekend!
Amanda

Geraniums are great for the summer heat. Lovely display!
I love your blog. The ideas and beautiful photography are a delight to the eyes. I linked up and became a follower. I don't know how I missed that before. And I hope you noticed I have your button on my blog!!
I am so mad at you! hahah! I was just getting ready to start housecleaning … and you have so many wonderful things to check out! I am going to go make a fresh pot of coffee … and enjoy!
Seriously , thank you for all of these wonderful projects to check out.
Have a pretty day!

It appears that spring has sprung beautifully in your lovely home!
I love geraniums too. They seem to be one of the few flowering plants that do well in this heat.
Yours look like they're thriving in that beautiful planter. Very nice!
I hope you have an amazing weekend, my friend!
Thank you for hosting and thank you for the invite. I see so many intriguing links. Can't wait to go exploring.

Hi Courtney 🙂 Thank you so much for featuring my wall! I am only about a month into blogland and I can't believe how much I love it! What rock have I been hiding under? Thanks for hosting, and thanks for the feature!
Love the plants… I know they had a name, but I am not a plant-smart person. One day hopefully (when I can keep them alive)… and when that happens, I know where to go for inpiration 😉
Hi Courtney! Thanks for stopping by and introducing me to your blog! I posted my living room! Have a great weekend!
Beautiful Geraniums! Thanks for hosting. 🙂
Hi Courtney, thank you for visiting me today. I'm your newest follower and have linked up with you for The Feathered Nest Friday do. Love your blog and I know we will be good friends. xx's Marsha
sooooo many pretties!!
You had snow, really. I'm living in Finland and haven't bought nothing yet to the pots cause it might be get cold but snow is unlike…hope so:) I love geraniums too and bye them every summer.
Have a nice weekend
I love geraniums also we always have them somewhere in the garden and usually on the porch. Did you know you can let them winter in your basement and bring them out the next Spring? Before the first frost pull them up and place them in a box or brown paper bag. (pull all the leaves off). Plant them the next year and they will leaf out and start to bloom in about four weeks.
I love your blog!!! Thanks so much for stopping by my little space. It's my honor to contribute to your weekly shindig!
Hugs,
Lana In Italy
Thanks for stopping by I just love a good party!!! xoxoo
Thanks for the invite! I am your newest follower! YAY!! 🙂
ADORE geraniums! I have grown all the colors, but keep coming back to trusty, lusty RED. You just can't go wrong with that blowsy gal of a flower. It just blooms and blooms — several years I have still had geraniums blooming at Thanksgiving here in New Jersey. Amazing.
LOVE the red on the sideboard — lovely!
thanks for hosting … Cass
We love geraniums as well…it reminds us of our grandmother 🙂 Karrie got red ones this year, I got an orangish red – trying something new! Love it in your gorgeous planter…wow!!
Thanks for popping over!!
Karla & Karrie
Thank you so much for featuring my Mother's Day table. We had a great time! Your geraniums are lovely.

Thank you for your sweet comments and inviting me to link up to Feathered Nest Friday! I'm looking forward to reading through your blog! I'd love to know how you found me. Please come back and visit soon!

Good morning Courtney- I can't thank you enough for your encouraging lovely invite on my blog to join you all here one friday- well I saw that the link up was open for another day- so I've linked up my pink roses & chippy chair post in our english garden!
I adore geraniums…they remind me of warm days on Greek islands…yours look incredible in those big french urns…..
It's so nice to be here- I have been led here by so many other blogs- but always thought it's just to successful a blog for you to notice someone new- how wonderfully wrong I am- you have made my morning!
Melissa- Miss Sew & So x
Thanks for hosting! I wonder how your flower-crush on geranium began. I believe we often love flowers that are linked to a memory.
I love geraniums- they remind me so much of days gone by….. I think I should have lived a hundred years ago! Sorry I haven't had the time to visit or participate in your linky parties lately- life is crazy and I'm getting ready for a sale. whew- I'm on a little break right now and decided to read mail. Thanks for coming by for a visit!
🙂 Sue
Thanks Courtney for the Facebook love!! You are a jewel. I still can't believe those chairs are from K-Mart. Your outdoor area has inspired me to "kick it up a notch" on my back porch. Will send a link when I do!! Hugs.
Hi Courtney, I just spent close to an hour tooling around in your blog. What fun. Thanks for visiting me over at Pretty Old Houses.
Great party! Thanks for the invite, I'll be sure to stop by next week!
I love the spring, but not the allergies! It is cold here too but we planted this weekend -hope it stays nice – no more surprise snowstorms.
