~Breadbox Centerpiece~

My roses are blooming beautifully and I just had to bring one in for my new table centerpiece. I always like to eat more fruits in the summertime and a bowl of apples is a quick way for me to grab a healthy snack. And lemons are always good in my sweet tea or to make a pitcher of freshly squeezed lemonade.

These items are all sitting on top of my bread box that my daughter gave me years ago. She bought it at a garage sale. (I've passed along my thrifting to her.....LOL)

The pink rose smells so good.

What's on your table?

Hoping ya'll are having a great day!!! :)

Hugs & Blessings,

~Gifts From Sweet Peeps~

It's so good to receive gifts and even better when they are from "Sweet Peeps." My daughter gave me a huge gift bag, full of delightful things, recently and told me that I was a special Mama to her and she wanted to do something to show me how much she appreciated me. (Talk about bringing tears to my eyes. :) I was very humbled.

Then just when I had been sick and having a bad day, the mailman comes and delivers me a big box full of precious goodies from a dear blogger friend. Mary, over at Contrary Mary , sent me some wonderful pretties and it just made my whole day better. Thank you very much Mary!!

If you know someone who's going through some trying times, send them flowers or something pretty and it will help to perk them up a bit. :)

These flowers are from Alissa (two dozen pink roses) wow!!

And a Paula Deen Hoe Cake skillet. I love Paula Deen!!
Some chocolate, coffee beans, sugar scrub and a new cutting board.

The following gifts are from Mary

I hung this "K" in my kitchen with my pink flower vine

This is in my bathroom now, holding pretty soap

I just love jotting down notes on these pretty sticky notepads

This is my Paula Deen candle from Alissa

Hope ya'll have a GREAT weekend!!! :)

~Flowers Can Lift Your Spirit~

Flowers sure do lift me up when I'm down. I love lots of flowers but carnations and hydrangeas are among my favorites. Jim Darling just bought of bouquet of flowers for me yesterday for our table centerpiece. They were pink lilies and so pretty. We have had several deaths arounds us in the past two months and it is hard to keep cheery sometimes, but having some beautiful flowers sure helps. I've been sick all week but still had to work, so this weekend I'm just resting. See ya'll again soon. :)

This flower arrangement is my sweet Mama's and sits in her back porch entryway.
The water pitcher is old and was a favorite of my Grandma's.

Hugs & Blessings,
