Linderhof


Gardening, Cooking and Decorating on the Prairie of Kansas


Welcome to Linderhof, our 1920's home on the prairie, where there's usually something in the oven, flowers in the garden for tabletops and herbs in the garden for cooking. Where, when company comes, the teapot is always on and there are cookies and cakes to share in the larder.

Good Things Come in Small Vases

Tabletop bouquets don't have to be huge arrangements . . . and sometimes I forget that -- getting the biggest vase and filling it full!!!

Friend Mary Margaret reminded me of that Friday when she gifted me with this exquisite bouquet . . .


of garden flowers -- grape hyacinth, small white jonquils that have the most amazing fragrance and lamb's ear.

All in a wee white vase!


Which looks perfect on an end table in the living room!


The size is perfect and we simply adore fresh flowers in the house -- winter or summer but there are flowers no more precious than the ones that come from the garden!

Thanks Mary Margaret for a bright spot in Linderhof's living room!

It's Sunday and my wee bouquet I'm sharing with The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays!

what a nice gift! I agree, nothing sweeter than a little vase of nastriums, marigolds or pansies.

Dear Martha, I am taking time to read your blog! I am the Texan who came to Ft Scott beacause of your blog with my husband. At the time my son was in Missouri. I just wanted to tell you my husband fell from leg problems and has been in the hospital and rehab for 3 weeks. I wish you would pray for us. I will be bringing him home tomorrow. I always try to read your blog and enjoy it even if I don't comment. Please take photos of your town and home for I love to see it. The azaleas are almost gone but the tulips and red bud trees are blooming in Dallas. Happy Tea Party. Pam

Your bouquet is beautiful. I need to go outside and pick some jonquils for my table. I put the oriole feeder out today. I'd heard the orioles come through (Iowa) in April and are looking for feeders; if you do not get your oriole feeder out early enough they may never find it. Since spring is early this year, I went ahead and put it out. Have a gloriious week, Martha!
Blessings, Beth
