To Julie Newmar, Thanks for Everything! Laura

Julie Newmar in Cottage Living magazine?

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. That happens sometimes when I decide to flip through my shelter mags at, like, 2 a.m. But not this time; there she was. Looking all sassy and nonchalant perched in her garden.

How deliciously enjoyable.

And not for nothing, the Catwoman’s got a heckuva garden. The photos are stunning, and the magazine (
July/August issue) even has a detailed sketch of her garden’s layout (page 78).

We have a plot of land the size of a postage stamp (it’s very Jersey Shore to have homes thisclose to each other) so I’ve started a file of photos of interesting container gardens like Julie's:

And, hello: As if all of this isn’t fabulous enough, my favorite feline lady has a rose named after her! The Julie Newmar Hybrid Tea Rose. (There is a fantastic photo of her with a big fat bouquet of Julie Newmars online here.)

It's simply purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect. (Sorry. I couldn't resist.)
