Pinterest Love no. 3

Here are my favorite Pins this week.

1. Angelfood cake skewers

This looks amazing! I am totally going to serve these at my next party. And you're totally invited...

 

2. Turquoise and Purple Table Setting

Stunning colors. I don't know if I could eat off of these because I wouldn't want to get them dirty. Plus I would be too busy staring at all the beautiful colors.

 

3. Candy Jars

 

My son's 13th's birthday is coming up soon and I want to put together a candy bar for him and his friends. Do you think these are too girly? Will they care since they will be filled with candy?

 

They look so easy to make. This is definitely being added to my to do list.

 

4. Poppies!

 

 I am in love with poppies right now! I just purchased some seeds and am going to try to grow some... wish me luck.

 

5. Spring Hydrangea Wreath

 My all time favorite flower - the Hydrangea. This is being added to my to do list.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

American Flag and Hydrangeas

Happy 4th of July!!!!

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful holiday! I'm really glad to have a day off to spend with my family. I wanted to take a moment to Thank the veterans past and present for fighting for our Freedom and protecting that Freedom. Its going to be a glorious day!

Yesterday I was at the Goodwill and was surprised to find a section of old used American Flags. I don't know why I was surprised since Goodwill has such a crazy selection of merchandise but I was. It made me a little sad to see all of the flags just sitting there unloved. And while I couldn't buy all of them I did find one that I could proudly wave in front of my house.

I love that it looks old and is faded. I can only imagine where this flag was before coming home with me. I'm sure my imagination is far more exciting that its reality. I should probably trim those bushes back so the flag has more room to wave. Can you see my hydrangea bush? I absolutely love hydrangeas! And they are blooming now.

 

I'm hoping a few of these sprout roots so I can put them all over my yard. Anyone have any advice for growing plants from cuttings?

Enjoy the fireworks and family time today!

XOXO
