it's all about the hospitable home
Hello Dear Readers!
A while ago, when I did a Monday Morning Blooms post,
someone asked what I do with the flowers when I do a “floral vignette”
using several vases and containers of flowers in one setting.
Today, I shall show you what I did with the many flowers and vases that I
presented in the Citrus and Flowers post.
Hello Dear Readers!
It’s been a while (again). Things are moving and shaking around here with many
decisions to make with regard to the new house. Valentine’s Day was momentous in many ways.
Other than spending it with my Loves, we finally broke ground! Did you hear the earth move?
Now on the subject of special things happening, today is very special as it is
the 3rd Monday of the month which means it is Monday Morning Blooms day,
when I and my most wonderful fellow bloomers Lidy, Mary and Pam
will be sharing some great floral inspiration.
Today’s common theme is Citrus and Flowers.
So sit back and enjoy some great floral inspiration!!

My arrangement is A Mom’s Inspired Bouquet. It is one of her favorite flowers, the Oriental Lily.

Hello Dear Readers.
Welcome to another fabulous Floral Friday,
when I join my sweet Floral Friday friends, Lidy, Mary and Pam
to present fantastic floral inspiration for you to enjoy!
The links to these fabulous ladies’ floral creations are below their image
at the bottom of this post.
Hope you all had a most wonderful Independence Day . . .
I am up to my elbows and beyond in moving and packing, so today I am
presenting one of my most favorite floral vignettes that I had presented to you
years ago for my Ironstone Pitchers of Summer – Floral Friday.
I believe it was George Bernard Shaw that said,
“Imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery,
it is the sincerest form of learning.”
And that is what I did today . . . learn . . . from some of the best.
I did it again . . . I took a magazine cover
of one of my most favorite magazines and I tweaked it for a summer vignette.
Hello Dear Readers! It’s another great day as today is the 3rd Friday of the month
and that means it is Floral Friday!
Today I am joining my wonderful Floral Friday friends, Lidy, Mary and Pam
to present our floral creations incorporating fruit or veggies or both!
Their links and images are below so that you can visit them
and receive more amazing floral inspiration!
My inspiration for my flower arrangement today was Peonies.
I was thrilled to obtain some this late in the season and could not wait
to create an arrangement with them being the star.
Welcome to our Flowers, Fruit and Veggies – Floral Friday!
Today is all about this week’s happenings and a fun announcement.
Fun Announcement? Well you shall see at the end of the post.
So this week as far as the house is concerned was all about the Home Inspection.
Now that definitely is not the fun announcement.
In order to stay ahead of my posts, which I seldom do . . .
I was creating my floral creation for the next Floral Friday
which will be on June 15th (the third Friday of the month).
For me, it was all about Peonies and more.
Happy Friday Dear Readers!
It’s a great Friday as it is the third Friday of the month which means it is Floral Friday!
I am so happy to be joining Lidy, Mary and Pam, my beautiful Floral Friday friends
to bring you some amazing red, white and blue floral inspiration.
Today, my theme is not only red, white and blue,
it is a Ralph Lauren inspired floral arrangement,
using my Ralph Lauren Mandarin Blue pieces.
