flowers and fun finds...

 

It doesn't happen often, but occasionally after creating arrangements for events, I might have a few extra blooms to enjoy.  When that happens, I gather up some vases, boxes or random containers that have been found, collected or rescued, and voila....we are able to scatter the joy of flowers in our home!

A neighbor shared his favorite flower with me.  It was a perfect addition to our kitchen corner window display.

A daughter collected some fading blooms from a dahlia farm where I was cutting for an upcoming wedding.  While I worked on wedding arrangements, she was busy doing her own decorating in our home.

Regardless of color, style or container, the goal is always to...

The camera and a few vintage finds...

I've been playing around with the camera a bit today.  Mostly, because I've had a line item on my "to do" list that keeps getting forwarded to the next day.  Today, yesterday, last week.... "List 5 items on etsy" has been getting the arrow forward mark rather than the check off the list mark.  The online shop has been poorly neglected and I can give a million reasons why, but it's time for that to change.  Here's a sneak peek of what's in store for the shop... coming.... soon...I promise!

If you like vintage kitchen items, you might like to see what Faded Charm blogged about today.  Have a happy Thursday! 

PS, did you know that it is National Macaron Day today?  One of my daughters is excited to do a little baking when she is done with school.  Wonder what color she will make this time?

Smelling the Roses...

This past weekend was very busy with 2 different weddings that Forrester Farm provided flowers for.  I just posted some of the wedding flower snapshots on our Forrester Farm facebook page.  We are looking forward to seeing the photographer's photos soon.

Occasionally after a big wedding, if the bridal party family decides that they have enough flowers to enjoy and don't want to take too many flowers home, we share what is left with the venue staff and my family.  In anticipation of having my extended family over for dinner the day following the wedding, I scattered vases throughout the house and we are still stopping to smell the roses!

Have a happy Wednesday remembering to take time to smell the roses!
