Fresh Blooms & Other Fun Things

There's nothing like getting fresh flowers to lift your spirits, especially this time of year!  So today, I thought I'd share with you some of the gorgeous blooms that I've been given since having surgery last week.

 Hubby brought me the most beautiful bouquet of yellow roses! I adore yellow roses, though I don't think he realized that, he just made a lucky guess!  I am doing to dry them and save for a special project!

 I love taking close up photos of flowers.  It's so easy to miss all of the beautiful details if you don't take the time to really look at them!

 My sister sent me this gorgeous bouquet of spring time flowers, I love them!  Pink and white flowers are my absolute favorite!

 I wish you could smell the stock!  Their spicy scent is absolutely amazing!

 And just look at that stunning lily!

My mom sent me this lovely basket filled with a beautiful pink azalea, and a kalanchoe (I think that is what it's called??)

 How pretty!

My sweet friend Cindy over at Cindy Adkins Whimsical Musings sent me this gorgeous card that she made!  Cindy knows how much I love blue!  Just look at all of the details that she put in it, love the key and the mannequin!

 Cindy also surprised me with this beautiful bracelet, I love it!  More blue:)  Can't wait to wear it!  Thank you, Cindy, you are the best!

 My sweet neighbor lady brought me down a couple of primroses today.  Aren't they pretty?

 Now our house is looking so cheery, it almost feels like a greenhouse here:)

Yesterday I went to the doctor and had my stitches removed.  It was my first big outing since the surgery.  As a treat to myself, I stopped at several thrift shops for some much needed "thrifting therapy".  I didn't find alot of goodies, but I did manage to find several small pretty picture frames that I'm going to paint and put in my Etsy.  Picture frame collections are one of my biggest sellers, so I'm always on the hunt for more!  I also am always searching for wood items that I can transform.  I found these two pieces below.  They may not look like much now, but wait til you see their "after" shots!  I thought the vintage wooden box had great potential, and I was super excited to find the jewelry organizer, as I'd been looking for one for quite some time.  I'll be sure to share their transformations with you!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
