Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all! We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen. Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun. The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of
I am joining Laurie today over at Bargain Hunting and Chatting With Laurie. She is hosting Favorite Things Saturday". Be sure to check her out at http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com. I have so many favorite things but here are just a few that popped out to me today.
This is a few picnic baskets I have managed to collect. They all were bought at GW...I have several real small ones as well that are not in the picture. I just love stuff like this.
This wire furniture piece I found at Ross. I had been looking for something small, wouldn't take of much space and yet would look somewhat elegant in the corner of my bedroom. I looked and looked and found this for $15. The size and color was perfect and it is just large enough to hold a few of my favorite things. The old wooden chest at the bottom (I had for years), the plant holder is actually a serving bowl on a pedastal that a sweet friend gave to me and the books are my 3 favs to be in my bedroom.
I love this apothacarey jar that my friend Vicky gave to me. Every now and then I cracked the top open for a while just to let the aroma flow. Isn't it pretty?
This next glass jar my middle daughter Melissa gave to me. It is so darling. it actually holds more that you would think. Will be perfect for my lemonade party in May.
Love my floral piece I made using leftover flowers I had stashed away along with a vase I had bought at GW for 75 cents. Looks very nice in front of my bedroom window on a column.
And this little goody just so happens to be my husbands favorite thing today. Chocolate cake with buttercream icing on top!
Thanks for letting me share just a few of my favorite things for today.
Cindy, I have a picnic basket just like your middle one...they come in handy for storing things in...like some of my linens.
