Hello friends, Welcome to Life and Linda. It's time to share our tote's journeys and also have a giveaway. We are a group of 12 women who love Mackenzie Childs. We carry our trademarked totes and we each name our own tote and share our travels. Miss Lola is happy to get out once again. My husband and I haven't really travelled anywhere, so we are sharing this lovely visit to some magnificent gardens and view.
I didn't even know this place existed. I really want to visit in the spring. The tulips are gorgeous and what a view. Here's teaser.
Many winding pathways leads to different parts of the gardens.
Lovely spots to take in the beauty , take some photos or rest.
Miss Lola is loving this spot. A beautiful waterfall with the statue.
Flowers galore.
The Chapel at Crystal Hermitage is based on the Porzuincola, The Little church of St. Francis in Assisi. The chapel, surrounded by beautiful gardens, pond, and statues of Buddha and the Virgin Mother, offers an intimate and inspiring atmosphere for weddings, meditations, or worship services
We are giving away these super cute Halloween towels by Mackenzie childs. To enter the drawing make sure you leave a comment on my blog. This giveaway is open to US residents only.
