Fresh Fleurs

Hello Ladies!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We had such a nice time with our friends who visited from back home!  It was great seeing them, and showing them some of our favorite places out here in Washington State.  On Friday, we went to downtown Seattle, first to Pike Place Market (always lots of fun!), then to our favorite waterfront restaurant for dinner.  Thought you might like to see a few shots I snapped of the glorious blooms at the market!
 Aren't these sunflowers and glads amazing?  What a gorgeous fall arrangement, I think.
 I am especially in love with stargazer lilies.  Wish you could have smelled them!
 The dahlias were just stunning!  I didn't realize that they came in so many different colors.

 The pink ones were my absolute favorite!
 This is only a small sampling of the many flower vendors at the market.  You can purchase huge, stunning bouquets for just $10!
After a busy week last week last week cleaning, cooking, and entertaining, and site seeing, I hope to get caught up on all of my visits with you!  Have a great week!

    Hi Donna,

    If I lived there my house would be full of flowers all the time. The Market is such a fun place.

    Wow, such vibrant flowers. Lucky you to be able to visit such a market, Donna. Thanks so much for your kind words on my new Etsy store.
    I thought of you yesterday as I decided to paint some brown frames of mine...can you guess the color? Heirloom white of course!
    Take care,
    Susan
