Petals, Blooms, Flowers

If I don't stop at the market for a bunch,

 I'm at home rearranging  what I have.

I find some super cheap and others a little expensive,

but

I'll say "y e s" anytime to fresh cut flowers.

yes, on a side table,
  yes, on my mantle

and

yes as a centerpiece.

 So much beauty,  I can barely contain my self.

 I adore each bloom until the last petal falls.

There's definitely a must for fresh cut flowers on the corner of my sink. 
 It makes washing dishes more of a pleasure than a chore.

I challenge you to try it.

I personally welcome the showers
 and
the sunshine

because

without,

there wouldn't be so much inspiration in the world.

Enjoy the simple ways I have displayed my flowers.

What an impact.

Love the simplicity

So much beauty in a single rose

Awesome

'

They are a treat while they last.

Loving this

Simple but inspiring

A single rose says it all

Tablescape  impact

Just a love moment.

Right out of the garden

I'll take a trunk load.

Enjoy the moment.

Until next time,

Susan

Brighten up the last weeks of winter

15 degrees!

Welcome to a peak of spring at the Houz.

Seasons are like holidays to me. I'm always looking forward to the next holiday and the next season of my life as every season has its purpose.  Have you notice the days are longer, spring is appearing in stores and craft stores?  I love to browse and see what's in color for the next season and what may work in my home. 

Until it's official, I thought I would just taste spring.

One of my favorite ways to brighten up a room is a vase of flowers or a cup with flowers. These camellias are from my garden.  Their green leaves are just  as gorgeous as the blooms.  Not only do they brighten a room but shine outside against the dead bushes during mid winter.  I love driving up facing color in winter. 

So why not an interior mimic.

It's amazing how the buds fit so well in my mini coffee cup.
  
 This set is a thrifty find several  years ago
 and I'm just finding use for them.

and

this small floral arrangement makes a difference.

 

It is so cold outside and the sun is so bright. 

It has been a challenge.

The throw and pillow are recent finds.

My logs have found so many places to warm winter décor.

It will soon be time to change the clock. 

Thanks for sharing a portion of your day with us.
  

Warm wishes!

Susan

A peek into my garden

Good morning and welcome to my passion!

(I'm dedicating this post in remembrance of my mom ,,,

 Her date of birth...July 25th.  This was her passion also).

As a plant lover, I enjoy my solo morning stroll thru my garden. Well, maybe it's not a solo stroll as I am accompanied by the birds singing, butterflies sightseeing and enjoying my butterfly plants/flowers and joggers taking a peek as they jog by.

My itching green thumb has been at work.  I love the feel of the soil, I love shopping for flowers/plants, dividing plants and I also love sharing with admirers.  Most of all, I welcome the opportunity to showcase my garden.

So come along and take a stroll with me this morning. It's hot and humid, but all you need is your coffee or juice. I'm confident you will enjoy the tour.  

My garden highlights .... Let the show begin!
