Hello and happy Friday. Hope you have had a great week. We finally got into the 50’s and 60’s and words cannot convey how sublime it felt. To not have to walk out with a heavy jacket was a treat! Still feeling the exhaustion from Covid, some days worse than others, I hear this is very common and can linger quite a while from others I know who have had it. So working part time and have added sleeping to my daily routine, haha. Which for anyone who knows me, knows that is not how I roll, I am a high energy person but listening to my body and trust I will be 100% in due time.<\/p>\n

My husband has also been sick all week (no Covid, thankfully after 2 tests). He had his first shot, Moderna and its either a very extreme reaction to the shot or he got a virus in the process. So on top of everything else I have been playing nurse Tina:)<\/p>\n

Oh and did I add that my son’s 5 month old pup swallowed two avocado seeds whole! So I also turned into an ambulance driver as we rushed him to the vet…..I’ll tell you never a dull moment in this house. Want action? Come here:) Thankfully his amazing vet gave him a shot which induced vomiting and he was able to get them both up……I feel like I aged 10 years in that hour!<\/p>\n

Alls well now, but he knows to watch him even more<\/em> carefully as he is incredibly athletic (there is a reason I have dubbed him Nadia Comaneci, remember the Olympic gymnast)\u00a0 he can literally get to anything, even knows how to open doors! To top it off I also spilled some red Nyquil on my beautiful bedroom carpet, I used Resolve and mot of it came up (still a work in progress) Never buying liquid Nyquil again!<\/p>\n

OK back to my post, nothing crazy as life’s been fairly mundane (aside from being a makeshift nurse, carpet cleaner and ambulance driver) but a little peek into what has been happening here the last week or so mostly having to do with flowers and plants. Here we go-<\/p>\n

_________________________________________<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Went to Whole Foods last week and bought about $100 worth of flowers, tons of tulips, hydrangeas, and some greens. I more than got my money’s worth been playing with them all week, and they are still going strong!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our entire line of hurricanes makes the most exquisite vases!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The best tip I can offer is to keep them outside at night when its like being in a florists refrigerator (or in garage if too cool) works like a charm!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All flowers shown are 7 days old and going<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also changing the water every other day<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Always give a clean cut to your flowers before arranging them and pull off as many leaves as possible<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our new mini which are 8″ are fabulous for small arrangements! Just added to site (click here)
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My “holding pen” or cutting room aka my laundry room, I totally need a cutting room!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know this is my favorite light..the golden hour. Nothing prettier<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Friends gave me these\u00a0 beautiful Mimosa flowers, almost 3 weeks ago, cannot believe they are still going!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Can we talk about how absolutely adorable our mini wicker ginger jars are, they measure 8″ and are so perfect for dining tables, I could see using these as a theme for a party!\u00a0 I am going to experiment and do a floral in these. Almost sold out but still have a few in stock, click here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I added some faux cherry blossoms that I have to this and love the effect<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flowers in my small blue and white collection getting ready to go on dining mantle, love these colors in blue and white. Actually love every color in blue and white:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you know how much i love our wicker planters, we are nearly sold out but getting a huge container first week of April. everything looks good in these!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And loving our new hex 10″ planter, its a beauty , click here to see planter<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So proud, I finally learned how to cook the perfect filet mignon! I go back and froth between eating meat but my husband and boys do not waver in their love for a good steak, I will share the simple method on Sunday’s post<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LOVE the new square wicker jars, just adore them. They will be part of our arrival sale next Tuesday! Click here to see on shop site, just added yesterday<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of wicker our super popular basket weave salt and peppers finally came back in stock , click here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Went to a favorite local nursery and bought 6 very large white azalea topiaries and potted hydrangeas. White azalea topiaries are one of my most favorite plants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Didn’t have moss but used our faux kalanchoe as a base filler and think its so pretty<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ta dah, they are perfect in our hex planters, about a week away from coming into full bloom!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The hydrangeas in the 8″ wicker planters (click here)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I absolutely love polishing silver, there is something so fulfilling about watching it go from dull to bright and shiny, anyone else? My favorite is Wright’s silver polish cream<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not bragging but I think we have the prettiest mint julep collection in town! They are so versatile, make perfect bud vases, I use them for nuts and chips when entertaining, they hold makeup brushes, pens, etc…. Click here<\/strong> <\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally thinking of bringing this big tureen back (its about 15″ x 11″) and may even do individual tureens…thoughts? Surprisingly, really big blue and white tureens are not that easy to find.<\/p>\n

__________________________________________<\/p>\n

Yep that’s life lately, lots of flowers and plants:) I am so looking forward to life starting to get back to a semblance of normal, granted it will take a while but we are on the cusp. I cannot wait to be able to go out for dinner again and eat outdoors as the weather is getting nicer, just spending more time outside.<\/p>\n

The year we have all endured has been a test like no other and I know so many of use have so many things we have missed and want to do. In due time! Thanks for stopping in, hoping everyone has a great day and smooth end to your week! Until next time….<\/p>\n
