Monday Morning Blooms – Precious Memories

“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:28‬ ‭

Happy Monday sweet friends! Today is a special Monday Morning Blooms as it is our Mother’s Day edition. If you have been following my blog for very long, you know that I often share memories of my beloved mother.

I am blessed to have had a Godly mother who poured her life into me. I was overjoyed to become a mother after thirteen years of marriage and more joy flowed when I became a grandmother!

My mother loved fresh flowers and I so enjoyed taking her a fresh bouquet often. Blush and lavender roses, peony tulips, stock, and honeysuckle fill an ironstone pitcher and grace a table set in her memory.

The links for my friends’ beautiful floral inspiration are at the bottom of my post.READ MORE

“The earth is the Lord ‘s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:1‬

Happy Tuesday sweet friends and I am so thrilled you are here. I am excited to share my first garden tablescape of the year. It is in celebration of the apricot drift roses that are in full bloom and more beautiful than ever before! You are invited to join me for simple pleasures in the garden!

Several of you have said that you aren’t familiar with drift roses. These repeat-blooming, compact roses are perfect for any size garden and they are easy to grow. They come in nine different colors and they have a heavenly fragrance. Ours are the apricot color and they were planted in 2015 when our garden was established.

Late Saturday afternoon as the fragrance of the roses was wafting in the breeze, I set a small table with tea and macarons to just enjoy a few simple pleasures!READ MORE
