Provencal Tablecloth Inspiration

Sunflowers are happy aren't they? I've wanted to use my provencal tablecloth from Avignon for a while. Since this is the sunflower season it was time.

Arranging Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are so easy to arrange. Ball jars are great grouped together and make a statement with just a few blooms. I like them in my vintage bird cage too.

Grandchildren are special

Our daughter's children visited us recently. They posed sweetly right before church.

Mary Grace's Summer Garden

 Mary Grace's summer garden is a treat that I am glad to share with you today. My pictures don't do my friends cottage garden justice. It was the wrong time of day to get good pictures but her talents shine through.

Sacrifice and Service

A local church in our community displayed flags highlighting those that gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The display is both moving and humbling.

Flower Arranging at Garden Club

 My garden club has a May luncheon and members bring arrangements they have made to share with nursing home occupants. For fun, judges are appointed to select a winner.

Peonies and Wedding China

I love my wedding china, crystal and silver patterns just as much now, as I did forty-two years ago.
