Pink Tulips and White Milk Glass Hobnob!

My grandpa gave me this beautiful milk glass basket to me on my wedding day!

...But I didn't like milk glass as a young bride! :( Yeah, I know!

I had it stored up in the attic all of these years. Since I just recently joined blogland and I am seeing it everywhere...I am thinking oh my goodness, that is so pretty!

And then I remembered.... my grandpa gave me a piece as a wedding gift

...and it is somewhere in the attic!

I FOUND it! :D

....and I.LOVE.it!!

Thank you, Grandpa...I.LOVE.YOU!

I might have gotten carried away with the picture taking, but it looks so pretty with the tulips and spirea!

I actually didn't get signed up in time...but head on over there because lots of beautiful pink treats on this beautiful May Day!

Home Sweet Home!

This is my sweet little humble home ~ it brings me joy!

I am grateful for what the Lord has provided for me!

I have been working on flower beds...in a previous post, I had said they have been neglected for a couple of years due to being in one of those "life storms"...

but after working on them this spring, they are starting to look better. The ivy is looking a little "bald" but ivy grows so fast, I have no fear it will be very full in no time ...quicker than what I prefer! :)

My front door has almost been swallowed up by shrubbery, so that is a project to be tackled very soon. I also am having mulch delivered in a few minutes by a friend. At a nearby park, they offer free mulch if you come with your truck....which I don't have...but thank the Lord for awesome friends! :)

I am grateful!

It's Friday! Enjoy! :)

Romantic Spirea Flowers

Beautiful Spirea branches...so old-fashioned and romantic!

When my daughters were little girls, we would call it the bridal veil...

the branches always spill over creating a "veil"!

They would get under the branches and play...delightful memories!

Pussy Willows ~ Another Sign of Spring!

A dear and sweet friend brought these to me last week....pussy willows!

I googled pussy willows to see if I should consider growing them myself...I love them!

What I found:

• Pussy willow trees are wetland plants --so they would be ideal occupants for areas that suffer from poor drainage. If not, then water FREQUENTLY.
• Propagating is easy...they can root so readily that all you have to do is simply insert the FRESH, cut branch into the moist soil in summer. Roots develop within a few weeks.

(Drawback is that these trees have invasive roots....must be planted far enough from sewer or water lines to not interfere.)
I am linking up today with WooHoo Wednesday! :) WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!
