The Touch of a Flower

On Friday I bought two bouquets of flowers at the market.

The plan was to separate them to design many smaller floral creations.

I bought a large bouquet of light-purple daisies,

and a bouquet of pink tulips.

I got right to work when I got home.

I didn't take any pictures of the flowers cause I was so busy thinking of how to separate them.

I shared a similar post to this a little bit ago. You can read what I did with all the little bouquets here.

This was the first thing I wanted to do.

I've seen pictures of a grouping of vintage glass jars, each with a single flower, and I loved the look.

Glass on a silver tray.

The beauty of a flower.

A gift from God.

I don't always get to this particular market, but they have excellent produce,

and beautiful flowers.

I put a single stem on either side of my recent ironstone platter find.

Both of the vases are thrift store finds.

The top of my buffet

Full view and playing around with effects.

I tucked some little arrangements on my self-made hutch.

It looks so pretty with the ironstone.

This old picture frame is an antique find. I kept the picture in it.

The container I used here was purchased as a candle.

It was so cute I decided to use it as a mini vase.

 

I'll share my tulip vignettes later.

 

Can you imagine a world without flowers?

Makes me sad just thinking about it.

As beautiful as flowers are, they do not last.

Very soon we'll see them push their way up from the ground.

We'll be planting them in our gardens.

We'll be able to enjoy them for a season or two.

 

Flowers definitely leave a touch from God.

They are so lovely.

So was the sunshine today and the disappearing snow!

Spread some loveliness around your home in the places you will see them the most.

I put one in the bathroom but I forgot to take a picture.

 

Blessings,

Vintage Silver Pitcher Centerpiece

 

I found this old silver pitcher at a thrift shop a few weeks ago. When I saw it, I thought it would look so pretty with daisies in it as a centerpiece on the kitchen table. 

Look at the base of the pitcher. Three claw feet! So unique! I love it!

I thought a doily would look nice to separate the two silvers and

to add a bit of white to the bottom of the centerpiece.

I think it turned out quite nice.

 I placed a silver-coloured candlestick with a white taper candle

 (purchased at a thrift shop as well)

on either side to create a lovely vintage centerpiece.

 

 

Have a wonderful day!

 

Blessings,

 



 



 

Here a Touch,There a Touch...of Daisies!

 

I'm a little nervous.

It's been awhile since my last post.

I feel like I'm starting for the first time again.

 

It's hard to get back into the groove when you've been out of it for awhile.

I've missed it.

But I put too much expectations on myself.

Especially when there are so many beautiful blogs out there.

I honestly just don't have the time.

But why do we always have to measure ourselves to others?

We make ourselves miserable.

I make myself miserable.

 

I've been wanting to post again for awhile. Took pictures. Visited Pic Monkey.

 Then I ran out of steam.

What catching post title should I use?

There are so many others with much more interesting stories to share than me.

 See there I go again :(

 

Ready for today's post?

Here goes!!

 

The other day, I bought a bouquet of daisies for $10 and a bouquet of Baby's Breath for $3 (50% off), with the intention of making many smaller bouquets.

I didn't take any pictures of my mess, but I'm sure you can picture it.

 

As I was separating the flowers I was thinking about when Jesus took the bread and fish and they just kept multiplying!. Wouldn't that be cool to do?! Maybe one day!

Back to the daisies...

These are some of the finished products all lined up for your viewing pleasure.

 (I had to take everything off anyways to dust it)

A little ironstone vignette I have near the kitchen sink.

 

The bottom half of my display shelf. (Working on the top shelf)

Ironstone, glass jars, and daisies!

I love this little milk jug I found at a thrift shop.

 And of course the old mason jars always make a good vase!

 

All the white looks so fresh and pretty!

 

 Flowers on old books.

 

I love Baby's Breath.  Sometimes I use it alone for decorating.

It adds a quiet floral touch.

 

I have these two sitting in my kitchen window.

I bought four mini jars at the dollar store for this reason,

 but once I got the flowers in only three would fit.

Another view. I'm still working on where home will be for this box.

 

A daisy is such a sweet simple flower. They grow everywhere. Not expensive to buy.

They make your soul smile.

I love things that make the soul glad.

 

One bunch of flowers that can spread sunshine all around the house.

 

Do you have a flower that makes your soul glad?

 

I want to give a very special "Thank you" to Patty for the encouragement to keep posting.

That meant more than you will ever know.

 

Looking back over this post I have discovered that these weren't even daisies, they're carnations!

What a great return post! Ha! Yes, I am blonde.

I've been staring at daisies in front of me while I was typing. I'll show you those another day.

Oops!

Good thing I know how to laugh at myself.

 

Blessings,
