Happy New Year, dear friends! I hope the Christmas season brought memorable times with family and friends. More importantly, that the season brought the awareness and wonder of the greatest Gift ever given!
“but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

January 2, the first Monday of a new year and Monday Morning Blooms with my friends. Before we turn the page, and leave 2022 behind, let’s review my Year In Flowers!
January Blues in the Sunshine Cottage had me scrambling for flowers. The challenge gave me the opportunity to practice not sweating the small stuff and putting on my thinking cap.
You will find Mary’s and Lidy’s links for their beautiful year in flowers at the bottom of this post!
Love is in the air for the month of February! RM and I enjoy celebrating Valentines Day, and later in the month, our anniversary!
A box of citrus and a floral medley was the centerpiece for a light brunch that included the flavors of orange and lemon!
A shades of green theme brought me outside to the picnic table as rye grass offered a beautiful background!
March brings change as winter fades and signs of spring burst forth in our Appalachian Foothills. A welcome spring arrangement is filled with colorful blooms to greet the new season!
I love Easter! It is a day that we celebrate new life!
It is no secret how much I love the Kwanzan cherry blossoms. This particular Monday Morning Blooms featured two springtime florals. Click the link to see the other one.
My favorite spot for a table is the garden, the perfect setting for a colorful bouquet and memories of Mother!
Farm fresh blooms match the watering can and complement the ‘forget me not’ April Cornell tablecloth!
June of last year brought changes to Monday Morning Blooms. Our dearest Shirley stepped down from blogging and our MMB’s. Lidy, Mary, and I continued sharing flower therapy and floral inspiration with only one post per month…the first Monday!
A garden table welcomes French hydrangeas, one of my favorite flowers!!
I love celebrating Independence Day with its colors of red, white, and blue!
The Sunshine Cottage porch and garden were on display for the first Monday of August, before the heat began to take its toll on the garden!
We plant sunflowers every year and I love their happy faces! Even though our sunflowers are normally gone by the end of August, sunflowers welcomed September in a beautiful new vase!
Dahlias, zinnias, and goldenrod greet my favorite month for a Happy October Harvest!
Thanksgiving is a special holiday as we are reminded of God’s rich blessings…my prayer is to live every day with a thankful heart. A final outdoor table for the year is full of nature’s bounty of color!
Sharing a merry and white table for the last Monday Morning Blooms of 2022 was a departure from my love of color!
Be sure to visit my talented and creative friends, Mary and Lidy!

A beautiful look back at your year in flowers Pam! I always love seeing your flower arrangements gracing your tablescapes, in your garden or your Sunshine Cottage. I look forward to another year sharing blooms and flower therapy with you and Lidy. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year filled with beautiful blooms. Happy January. ♥
Thank you, Mary! I look forward to all of your posts. Happy January ♥️
What a lovely post today Pam…I love each and everyone of your flower arrangements and am envious of your personal flower garden from which you have abundant choices for many of your arrangements. I look forward to your Monday blooms as they almost seem like they are mine…until I look out at my gardens and see the “jungle” of mostly greenery which is ok…just not the abundance of flowering plants that you have at your beck and call. I especially love the red, white and blue arrangement with the Sunshine Cottage sporting the Patriotic bunting! Happy New Year dear friend and thanks for the year in review.
Kari, your comments warm my heart, sweet friend!
Your arrangements are always so beautiful, Pam. And part of that is because of the beautiful settings in which you place them as well as the wonderful array of blooms from which you have to choose. Such a joy, this post on a gloomy northern day!
Thanks so much, Jeanie!
Pam, Your year in flowers is a beautiful compilation of color and styling. It’s a wonderful reference. Your arrangements just make me happy when I see them. The colors are always uplifting. Enjoy your day! Clara❤️
Thank you, dearest Clara ♥️
Your arrangements and vignettes are always gorgeous, Pam! Monday Morning Blooms is the perfect thing to greet this first Monday of January. I have enjoyed seeing a look back at all of your beautiful creations. It is a feast for the eyes! Happy New Year, my dear friend! I hope this year brings you peace, joy, and many blessings.
Shannon, thank you for your sweet comments. They always warm my heart, sweet friend!
It’s all beautiful, but the oranges and daffodils float my boat. Woo-Hoo! I can’t wait to see what blossoms you have for the new year. I’m in charge of decorating my church gym (yuck) for a dinner for 300 people. I had planned to have friends bring greenery from their yards (low budget) but after this deep-deep freeze, I’m at a loss. I have another month, so maybe everything will recover. I’ll be searching your site for ideas! thanks and Happy 2023!
Thank you, Leslie Anne. I hope everything recovers for the dinner! Happy 2023!
I remember all of these beautiful table settings. One prettier than the next. Thanks always for sharing your beautiful tables with us on Mondays. Happy New Year. xoxo Kris

Judy, thank you for your sweet comments!
Love how you coordinate the table cloths with the flowers.one was dahlias and dahlias On the cloth too. I think that was October. So pretty. And the July table showed the bunting on Sunshine Cottage also. You think of everything. It’s a lot of work to put Monday Morning Blooms together and I want you to know it’s so appreciated.

Wow, what a great round-up of flowers from the past year. You have such a talent dear lady and I don’t think I could pick a favorite because all are beautiful! I think that hydrangeas might be a favorite flower though – especially the blue ones. Thank you for sharing all your beauty and inspiration!
