Good morning and happy Friday! I am so glad to say that I am taking a vacation day today. I have a full time job, two kids, and my Etsy store. And I notice as I get older that I need to take better care of myself in order to keep up with everything. I plan to sleep, exercise and watch movies and read for three full days. How great does that sound?
I thought that I would add a few pics of the florals around my house. The one above is absolutely one of my favorites. I think the balls are called snowballs
The one below is from a while ago. I had a tough time getting the daisies to stand up in the vase.
So instead of cutting them down, I added a starfish in an effort to anchor them. It worked well.
I found these at the flea a few weeks ago. I love them beside our front door welcoming people.
I kept them and the snowballs in the first photo in a bucket after I got home. My favorite part is the "mess" they make. I love how it decorates the water.
It's almost like nature's confetti.
The other thing that I do plan to do is to visit a few fleas that will be in town this weekend!
Enjoy your weekend!

I love all of your beautiful flowers! I believe you said that there was a market close to you selling flowers inexpensively? Wish I had access to one. I think it's good to play "hookey" every now and then. You can recharge your batteries and be a better person afterwards. Hope you have a restful and pleasant weekend!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your well deserved break! ~ Maureen

ReplyDeletePs, did you make that mason jar lamp? If so, could you possibly let me know how you did? =) ~Ashley
ReplyDeleteJust love your flowers, and the photos are wonderful. How clever to use the starfish to keep the daisies upright! I work full time too, and as i get older i find it harder and harder to get anything done on a two day weekend. It's like i just get started and it's time to go back to work. It's so good that you are going to make yourself relax and slow down time a little bit... enjoy....

Good for you, Michele! With all of that going on in your life, you need to take some "serenity time" for yourself, girl! :) "Snowball" trees used to be my MIL's favorite bush, so your photos brought back fond memories for me. :) Have a fabulously relaxing weekend, sweetie! :)
