Paschal Roses

 

 

These Paschal roses are amazing! I typically have pots of hyacinths around making the air smell lovely, but Pascha fell too late this year. 

Ranunculus from the Flower Cart

Accidentally Pink

 

 

I accidentally bought some pink Oriental lilies for church (we only wanted white flowers for Pascha), but they look so pretty by the front door. 

Eucalyptus

 

 

The first thing I drop into my Trader Joes cart is always a bunch of eucalyptus.

Brass Tray

I love this little brass footed tray I bought from found_and_collected last week. It corrals all of my things so attractively!

Quail Eggs

I got out the quail shells that I blew out a few years ago. The bowl needed to be filled out, so I blew out another batch yesterday and I love how it looks!

More Light

Rosemary and Roses

 

 This $4 bunch of spray roses was instantly transformed into a bit more with some rosemary cut from our garden. The herbs we've planted over the past two years are such a wonderful addition. I've been using them in our cooking and in flower arranging, but they has also brought so much life to the garden in the from of the house. Having them in the window boxes has been great, because our weather here is typically mild and allows them to remain edible and mostly green throughout the winter months. It's almost time to refresh them and I can't wait!

Amaryllis

 

 

I thought that this amaryllis was going to be white. I bought it after Christmas and it has taken forever to bloom...  the pink is perfect for gray February! 

Lovely Irises

 

 I bought these irises last week on a whim and had no idea how long lasting and beautiful they would be.  They pick up the blue in the painting above my bedside table and look so vibrant amidst the neutrals in our bedroom.  I swapped out a velvet rose colored cushion cover that had been adorning our bed for this spotted one that I found on Etsy. I love the whole combination!

Chasing Sunbeams

 

We have several interior rooms that hardly ever get sunlight. Our kitchen is one of them, so when a beam of light comes in from the playroom, it is a cause for celebration!

Cleaning like a fiend today. The sunroom's done. The dining room and kitchen are next.
