Magazine Monday #6

Hello, friends!!!  This time of year is extraordinarily busy in my household!  Between the two months of April and May, we celebrate four birthdays, our wedding anniversary, and just recently, Boy Scouts awards and Choir concerts.....whew!  My apologies in advance for this week's very tardy (and retro-posted) Magazine Monday!

Summer is fast approaching, and before you know it, it will be here!  Right now, it's that time of year just before it's too hot, and the outdoors are so appealing to me!  It's the perfect time for a lazy reverie outdoors.  Last year, I shared this post of a relaxing teatime lakeside.

 

 

For today's Magazine Monday, I am sharing a few inspirational spaces perfect for those fair-weathered days.  I hope you enjoy the post!

 

 

I have become an ardent fan The Cottage Journal, a gorgeous publication released by Hoffman Media, which also publishes another of my favorites, Teatime Magazine.  To be directed to the website where you can subscribe (currently offering a free issue), simply click on the pictures or the link above.  I recently picked up the Spring 2015 issue, and it is wonderful!

 

In the article Waterside Picnic there are not only envy-worthy photos, but recipes as well!  I adore the idea of an impromptu picnic with sweet little noshes to nibble on; and if so desired, a hammock for a lovely naptime afterward.

 

How pleasing is this spot?  After a romantic row on the water, there's nothing like a sweet picnic for two. 

 

The feature Shabby Chic Garden is full of beautiful inspiration, especially this darling porch and swing perfect for relaxing in the afternoon.

 

Cottage Style Magazine released by Better Homes and Gardens, is another of my faves.  The article Garden Variety from their Fall/Winter 2012 issue is full of inspiration for anyone who loves a mixed garden.  A glimpse into Donna Talley's lovely world made my eyes happy with the beautiful pops of purple prettiness.  To be directed to the subscription page, click the photo.

 

 

This little spot in the June 2013 issue of House Beautiful is romantic, bohemian, and charming all rolled into one!  For full details of the design resources of the photo, click here.  To subscribe, you can visit the webpage by clicking the photo.

 

Finally, I just love this sweet area just outside a cottage in Malaga, Spain.  How darling is the hammock in the trees?  As I look at the photo, I can almost hear a guitar version of Isaac Albeniz' Malagueña playing in the background!  For details about this fabulous cottage, click the picture to be directed to the post on Houzz.
