Blooms for the hair.....

 I've been busy creating all sorts of vintage floral hair combs and headbands that are sure to make a statement! Summer blooms that will never fade!  The bees are buzzing and I actually got a mosquito
bite yesterday...not too happy about those, but nothing beats the beauty of the flowers though!
Enjoy!

Honey be mine.......

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.

Happy Sunday!

Found what I was looking for!

   A vintage glider for my porch! I'm so excited! I've been on the hunt for one for a little while and found it today. It's aluminum and has the original cushions which are in fabulous shape. It glides fairly well, I need to put a little WD40 on it to make really glide good but it's great exercise anyways! Ha! I'm sprucing up my porch for Summer and thought I would share my new purchase. My kids get out of school next week so it should get a lot of use. Have a great day!

It's time to Ooh and Ahh

I just recieved my Nordstroms May catalog in the mail.Its loaded with all the summer trends! I just love to ooh and ahh at all the clothing and beautiful fashion accesories. I absolutely love watches! I wear a very classic two toned silver/steel Tag Heuer watch. My husband offered it to me when we first got married and I've replaced it once in our 17 yrs of marriage!It's a diver's watch{indestructible} Not that I dive at all except in a pool. Lol! But I can bang up the face and the crystal face never scratches! It always looks sharp and I never take it off! But I'm a sucker for the colored watches! I just spotted these and love all these colors! The turquoise is my favorite! But..I love the off white and orange too! They have a mother of pearl face with crystal markers.These are awesome! The maker is SKAGEN. They go for $135. So we shall see....! Just wanted to share with you these lovely tickers!

A Lovely Twist

I just love this idea! This can be taken straight from your cupboard! Just save your soup cans and vegetable cans,sans the labels and voila ...you have containers for your fresh flower arrangements. Just run them down the center of your table. I love the mix of flowers shown in this photo too! Don't be afraid to mix it up! Fresh blackberries and colorful apricots were used in this display! How fun! {for those of you who have fruit growing in you yard}. I found this photo in the Southern Living May issue. Just thought I'd share this easy and fresh idea. Perfect for porch tables and picnics! Have a happy day!

A French Garden

All day yesterday and last night and I believe today has been and will be raining. To say the least it's been dreary,damp and cold. I've been spoiled the past two weeks with wonderful warm,sunny, Spring days. We need the rain it's good I know but it does seems to change your morale. The sun is the best medicine for us all!My mother in law is leaving today. It was truly wonderful visit! I feel bad for her though. She brought in the snow and now she's leaving with rain! She keeps saying that Paris is always raining and grey. She's not looking forward to going back.I think that Paris does get a long rainy season before the summer comes.Anyways I would like to share one of my most favorite photos I took in a Paris garden a few years ago. This brings so much sunshine and delight to me when I see it! I love the painted concrete wall and the contrast with the overflowing flower baskets!It's amazing and an inspiration of how I would love my baskets to look like.This is my sunshine today!Wishing you all a happy day!
