Hello Dear Readers!
Today is the First Friday of the Month and it is time for Floral Friday!
The fabulous Floral Friday where I, Lidy, Mary and Pam
join together to present some beautiful floral inspiration for you to enjoy and hopefully
would encourage you to re-create for your own home and pleasure.
Today, it is all about The Happy Sunflower!
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.
Happy Friday one and all!
Today is the first Friday of the month and that means
you are in for a treat because it is Floral Friday, when I and three of my sweet,
talented and most creative friends/bloggers present beautiful floral inspiration
for you to enjoy.
Today, I present to you Peonies in a teapot and more!
Welcome to Floral Friday,
when every first and third Friday of the month my friends and I present
some wonderful floral inspiration to you for your enjoyment.
Today, it is all about flowers in wonderful canning jars.
Do you remember my French Market Rolling Basket Story?
The story of how I trekked it from California to North Carolina?
Well, there is one thing that I did not mention.
When I purchased the market basket, I also purchased several other things.
At the time, I figured if I was going to ship this basket, I may as well fill it with goodies!
A few of them you will see today for Floral Friday. One more item remains for another day.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram,
you will know that we had quite the snow event here!
The weather predictions originally stated “the possibility” of snow, maybe a dusting.
Then they stated . . .wait a minute. . . now we may see 3 to 5 inches of snow.
Well, we got that and more! . . . 10.5 inches to be exact.
My neighbor set out to make sure that the stats were correct,
so out to the golf course he went with a measuring stick. Yep! 10 1/2 inches for sure!
He also helped me shovel the driveway, so that my hubby who was driving home
from a business trip could drive onto the driveway without slipping and sliding.
So what is a person to do before a snow event, other than get the milk and bread?
Go shopping for flowers!
So here is another Floral Friday – Flowers and Boxwood
Well, I took the advice of many of my readers and I am starting Floral Friday!
As I stated previously, I love making floral arrangements because the results
are simply smile makers!
So today, I bring you the first Floral Friday – A Jewel Box Arrangement.
