“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11
Happy second day of 2020! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s Day. We had a quiet one after a fun New Year’s evening at my brother’s and sister-in-love’s home.
If you are a regular reader, you know I have three series that I write on a regular schedule…Tablescape Tuesday, Simple + Southern Sunday, and Monday Morning Blooms. I was invited to join three very talented bloggers in early 2018 to what was originally called Floral Friday. These three ladies are so creative and I am more than thrilled to be in the company of Shirley, Mary, and Lidy. We choose a common theme and present our floral arrangements on the first and third Mondays of each month. You, my sweet readers have been so welcoming of this series. With twenty-four floral posts, let’s take a look back at the five most viewed Monday Morning Blooms of 2019.
No. 5
What’s Not To Love?! A Valentine bouquet of lisianthus, alstroemeria, and seeded eucalyptus!
I had fun with this one by sharing two different ways I styled the coffee table!
No. 4
Flowers & A Friendship was written in memory of a very good friend!
The beautiful “free spirit roses” perfectly describe my friend!
No. 3
Who would not enjoy starting the day with A Breakfast Tray?
Pink and raspberry carnations fill a sweet Wedgwood pitcher!
No. 2
Seasons Greetings with a fresh and fragrant arrangement provided by Lynch Creek Farm.
Blue and white with tartan is always a good idea!
No. 1
Spring Flowers + Vintage Watering Can came in as the most viewed which really surprised me. Coral bell azaleas, heirloom daffodils, tulips, Carolina jessamine, phlox, and hydrangeas made for a delightful spring mix!
The Lady Banks roses were blooming on the arbor that added to the charm of the spring arrangement!
Precious Memories just barely missed the top five, but it is my favorite. Not because of the simplicity of the floral arrangement, but because it is in memory of my beloved Mother!
Blush and lavender roses, peony tulips, stock, and honeysuckle provide a sweet arrangement!
Thank you so much for your visits and the comments that you take time to leave. Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Happy New Year Pam! I love looking back at your top Monday Morning Blooms posts and joining you for some flower therapy on Mondays! Your spring blooms with your watering can and Lady Banks roses is my favorite post too, followed by your Late Summer Flowers & Memento Arrangement with your beautiful embroidered tablecloth.
Happy Thursday. ♥
Thank you Mary. You have a wonderful memory! It is pouring rain, so a little flower therapy is nice. Happy Thursday❤️
The Top Monday Morning Blooms just started out my day! I’m getting up early as I have a busy day today.
These centerpieces are simply gorgeous! I have to say… I never can pick a favorite but I do love when there is something sentimental about a post. So I too love the last Blooms …dedicated to your Momma!
Happy Thursday! I’m taking down Christmas today. 🤗
Thank you Nancy. It is pouring rain, so a little flower therapy is good plus lots of reading and coffee!🥰
Pam, wishing you the most Blessed New Year. I so enjoy all your post and wish you the best for 2020!!!
Thank you dear Joanie. Happy New Year!
Pam, I always love your blooms. Especially in the winter (you have more winter blooms that we do in Michigan!). Again, I couldn’t pick a favorite, for all are so lovely. What joy you bring!
Thank you Jeanie. Have a wonderful weekend!
I love the Monday Morning Blooms series. You have created some beautiful arrangements.
Thank you Penny!
I really love flowers so I love seeing such beauty and happiness again…Absolutely splendid,made my day!Thank you,dear Pam!
Thank you sweet Maristella! Blessings and hugs!
I concur with your readers. Just love No. 1 but I absolutely realize your loving the sweet arrangement in memory of your dear mother. Looking forward to your blogs in 2020 and wishing the Richardson family a blessed New Year!
You are so sweet Bobbie. Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year❤️
Seconding everyone’s comments on not being able to pick a favorite because they are all so beautiful and the loving sentiments in creating them. The floral highlight of my year was winning the beautiful flower book in your contest! It finally looks like the dead of winter here, and I must say I’m enjoying it. There is something about a dark winter day and being cozy with great music, a book, a stack of decorating magazines, and my coffee! Enjoying one last day of my Christmas decor before it comes down tomorrow.
Thank you Roxanne. I am so glad you have enjoyed the book. It looks like dead winter here and pouring rain. A great day for reading and coffee!
Beautiful blooms on a dreary, rainy day! I must say the watering can is my favorite. It’s so colorful and brings a smile to your face! The precious memories is so pretty & feminine. Love your gorgeous tablecloths! It’s so nice to see several arrangements in one compilation. You have a wonderful God given talent and we’re so glad you share it with us. Have a wonderful rest of your week sweet Pam! Clara♥️
Thank you dear Clara! It is pouring rain here and a great day to read and relax. Enjoy your afternoon sweet Clara ❤️
Oh, the beauty of this post. I have to agree that No. 1 is also my favorite. I just love your Lady Banks roses and this simple table with this overflowing arrangement should be on the cover of a magazine. The flowers are arranged the way they grow with the tulips hanging their heads a bit. It is jaw dropping beautiful. I wish I had some clout with Hoffman media. This should grace the cover of Victoria or Southern Lady. I agree your favorite had to be the one dedicated to your precious Mother.
You are a sweetheart Dianne. We both share a love of flowers, gardens, and all things pretty!❤️
This certainly has been a lovely series and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. I sigh when I look at your blooms and my head and heart are already wanting to be in the greenhouse–which is at least 3 months away! Planning on blooms for summer! Happy New Year!
Thank you Sandi. How nice to have a greenhouse. Happy New Year!
Pam, all so very lovely. But, I am quite in love with the watering can and spring blooms. All those sweet blooms are sleeping and making reading for their big show. Love the series, it is inspiring and provides me with my beauty fix. Thank you for your work, Pam. You always brighten my days.
Thank you Sandra! It is pouring rain today, so a little flower therapy is welcomed!
Just loved today’s collection of flower memories, particularly referring back to your friendship with Bonnie Jean who sounds like a force of nature…”my candle burns at both ends, it cannot last the night, but oh my foes and oh my friends, it casts a splendid light”…That deep and abiding spirit of love is like a shooting star across our lives and fortunate we are to share in its light even for a brief moment. You were blessed, dear Pam. If we could be friends to others on even a humbler scale, we will have learned from her example and redeemed her lesson by
making the world a bit more beautiful and bearable. If free spirit roses are a January highlight, I
shall be certain to obtain a clutch at the flower shop …. It is dim and raining, but Monday Morning Blooms has brightened the day, bless you.
Aw, I always enjoy reading your comments. Did you have a career in professional writing that you haven’t told me about? My friend Bonnie Jean was definitely a force, there is so much more to say about her. On January 10, she will be gone ten years. It is so hard to believe!
It is pouring rain…a good day for reading which is something I love so much!❤️
Wishing you and yours A HAPPY,HEALTHY and A BLESSES 2020.
Marilyn,Joan and Marion
Thank you sweet ladies. Wishing you and blessed 2020!
These blooms are all beautiful!! They make me eager for Spring to arrive.
Happy New Year, Pam! Oh, how I always look forward to Monday Morning Blooms! You are all so talented, and I adore pretty flowers. All of your creations are always gorgeous, and it was such a treat to see these lovely arrangements again. Enjoy the rest of your week, sweet friend!
Thank you sweet friend. Happy weekend!
I remember enjoying each one of those delightful settings Pam!
Blessed new year to you sweet friend!
Jennifer
Thank you dear Jennifer! Blessings on your new year❤️
Familiar beauties….I don’t k ow how you could choose a favorite from all the lovely arrangements you created. I look forward to more of everything from you this year which I hope will be filled with wonder.
Thank you Linda.
Oh, the post that was in honor of your Mom reminded me of my Mom, too. She LOVED lavender her whole life. It was her favorite color. It is mine, too. It was such a joy to look back over these beautiful photos and to reminisce with you, sweet friend. Many blessings to you in this new year!
Thank you Cheryl. Lavender is definitely a pretty and feminine color. Have a wonderful week!
