Citrus – Flowers – Blue & White

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

“But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭86:15‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. Thank you for your emails and prayers since I have been fighting this sinus infection and bronchitis that seems to be going around. I am still not one hundred per cent, but hopefully I will be soon. Didn’t my Renaissance Man do a fabulous job filling in for me? He has a unique style of writing and is quite the talented man, hence my nickname for him.

 

It is the third Monday of the month which means it is time for an edition of Monday Morning Blooms. With all of the gray skies and rain, I think we can all use a little flower therapy.

 

I love blue and white and use it frequently. It is always classic and fresh whether on the table or dressing a home.

Romantic February: Monday Morning Blooms

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

“”This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:12‬ ‭

Hello dear readers. It is the first Monday of February, how is that possible and where did January go? The first Monday of the month means it is an edition of Monday Morning Blooms.

I am sure it is not hard to guess our common theme…Valentine’s Day!

My family room coffee table is set for tea and sweets with a box of pink, red, and white flowers!

You will find the links for beautiful Valentine’s Day florals from Shirley, Lidy, and Mary at the bottom of this post.READ MORE

18 Floral Centerpieces

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25:11‬ ‭

Happy Thursday dear friends.  Many of you might say winter is your least favorite season.  I actually love all four seasons that we experience in our Appalachian Foothills of NE Alabama.  January is the perfect month to plan ahead and also look back. Since it wasn’t possible for me to join my Monday Morning Blooms’ friends Shirley, Mary, and Lidy this week (in case you missed their florals click their highlighted name), I thought it a great idea to look back over some of last year’s floral centerpieces. I have assembled many of my favorites all into this one post…flower therapy for a winter’s day. I have never claimed to be a floral designer nor have I ever taken a floral design class, but I sure enjoy the creative process. Let’s take a look at 18 floral centerpieces that take in all four seasons!

Oranges are my favorite winter fruit. Pink “sweet unique” and white “Eskimo” hybrid tea roses combine with halo oranges for a wintertime centerpiece placed in a soup tureen!

Winter rye grass provided the perfect background for St. Paddy’s Day in the country! Not one but two arrangements, both including the appropriate Bells of Ireland, were placed on the picnic table. READ MORE
