Alphabe-Thursday: S stands for so much!

I was So Spoilt for choice this week when considering which Stunning Shots to Showcase in my Alphabe-Thursday "S" post.
So, I created two mosaics of photographs taken by the talented Mr B during our recent visit to the (Sh)Château des Ravalet.

Above: Scrollwork; Swag; Sunken grotto and Succulent plants Surrounding a Sign.

Below: Stone fireplace; Shadows; Shabby (Sh)Chic garden furniture for Sale; carved Stone window decoration & Still life Surround a Swan Swimming.

I hope that you have enjoyed this Stroll around the grounds of Ravalets Castle now Shimmy on over to Jenny's blog "Off On My Tangent" and See who else has Signed up today.
Thanks to a heads up from my friend Sarah @ Hyacinths For The Soul I am also linking this post to Claudia's Friday~ Finding Beauty~ meme @ Dipity Road and also to Laurie's A Few of My Favourite Things Saturday get together @ Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie.

Fuschia Fantasy for Mosaic Monday.

Saturday was a holiday here in France; V.E. Day (Victory In Europe Day 1945) and as a treat we visited The Château des Ravalet in Tourlaville for the Presqu'île en Fleurs flower show.
We certainly enjoyed browsing the exhibits of 40 plus vendors, admiring all the beautiful flowers and plants on display and for sale.
I'll be blogging about this wonderful place more than once I'm sure because the grounds, the chateau, the greenhouses, plantings etc. are outstanding and I think you'll enjoy visiting there with me.

Today, a mosaic of mouthwateringly beautiful fuschias which I'm linking to Mary's Mosaic Monday @ the little red house.


Be sure to pop into the little red house and see all the other great mosaics gathered there today.
