Winter White Arrangement & Tablescape: Monday Morning Blooms

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1-2‬ ‭

Hello dear friends! Welcome to a new year of Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends Shirley, Mary, and Lidy. It is always a pleasure to join them in providing a little flower therapy for our readers. While the garden is fast asleep, January is the month I dream and plan for spring and summer flowers. I really miss being able to walk outside and cut flowers from my garden, but for now it is the grocery store variety! Settle in with a steaming cup of coffee and a warm throw…

Once all the Christmas decorations are removed, it seems that our home is a little drab and bare. Do you feel that way? I love getting everything put away and the house cleaned. January is a great time to invite friends over to share comfort food, like a hearty bowl of chili or potato soup. I set a table with that in mind.

“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!READ MORE

A Very Merry Porch…Monday Morning Blooms

“Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:15‬ ‭

Merry Monday dear readers. It is the third Monday of the month (can you believe it?) and that means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms with my friends. I hope by now your house is all decorated, your feet are propped up, you have a great book or magazine in your hands, and a warm fire is glowing. Perhaps Christmas music is playing, and you are drinking a cup of hot chocolate? Oh well, I am not quite there yet. Hopefully you will take a few minutes for yourself and visit my very merry porch!

Decorating the exterior of our home is always a priority and usually happens the first of December. My Renaissance Man is in charge and he does an awesome job!

The Christmas Classics garland and wreath adorning the entry is by Tree Classics. Grass green needles decorated with pine cones, red berry sprigs, and assorted leaf accents make the artificial greenery a cheerful addition to our entryway. The wreath and garland are pre-strung with clear LED lights.
