As most of you learned from my previous post, I just love fresh flowers on our dining room table. One of the many ways I like to find joy and beauty in every day things. When the mister listed off things he'd like to "implement" in the new year, one of them was having fresh flowers on the table every month. That's certainly fine by me. Especially since I work from home every day. It's nice seeing some form of life in the house besides myself and the doggie. Hee
Today has been quite successful in catching up on some of the work that had fallen to the wayside last week while sick. Now, I'm off to (secretly) shop for hubby's birthday that's coming up this Wednesday! Oops! Did I just announce his upcoming birthday in the bloggie world? :)
beautiful! I think its even more important to bring fresh flowers home in the depths of winter,, it helps our soul,,
ReplyDeleteYes, it's so true, isn't it? Sadly, I forgot to re-water the current flowers on the table and they're now dying. Bummer. Will have to get some new ones now. lol
DeleteLovely fresh flowers! And will have to wish Michael a Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine!
Deletelovely that you both want and enjoy the flowers, they look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are feeling better. wishing you both a lovely celebration this week.
Thank you, Tammie. It's certainly nice feeling better after being down for an entire week.
DeleteYes you did! And how glad I am because we can all inundate him with 'you now whats' on Wed. haha!
ReplyDeleteLove, Mary
P.S. Flowers always make a room look special - even just a few work, don't need to spend a fortune on huge arrangements. I love a few wildflowers in a simple jug in spring and summer. Have never really been one for formal florist offerings. Yours are lovely in that beautiful bird vase.
hahaha I think he was quite chuffed at having a post dedicated to his birthday. :D
DeleteYou can't beat a beautiful vase of flowers Alex ...... sometimes I buy them but often I will go out into the garden and pick lots of foliage and maybe the odd flower or two and they look better than the bought ones !!!! Sound's like you've made a full { or nearly full } recovery .... must have been all that tea !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI know. And I love our vase here. We found it at a local thrift store and couldn't pass it up! xx
DeleteBeautiful flowers, they look so special. Good to here you are recovered and feeling better.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jamie. And my sweetie had a great birthday. x
Deletelove flowers, but they make me sneeze so can only have them outside :/
ReplyDeleteAwww, too bad. Some flowers do make me sneeze and/or irritate my allergies. Like tiger lilies. Their scent is too strong for me. :)
DeleteSo beautiful! Did you paint that large painting? It's gorgeous! Happy early birthday to hubby! Glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy. Nah, my good friend, Sergey Cherep painted it for us as a wedding gift. :)
