buttercup yellow-licious...

~ this weekend, i brought in some fresh yellow flowers from the garden~
forsythia
early daffodils
icefollies daffodils, my faves
and bradford pear branches

~i had fun dressing the fireplace mantel with a spring-time look.
~i hung an old lantern from one of the beams and arranged pretty flowers in the three white vases on the left
~pretty pleased with the results, the arrangement became even better when my daughter arrived from memphis bearing the super cool vase on the right!


such a wonderful and really perfect birthday present!!
thank you ash and anthropology! love, love, LOVE



~i love the faux bois (that's fancy french talk for false wood) texture and little branchy arm
~super cute, isn't it?













~thank y'all
(that's fancy southern drawl talk, for you all)

~"y'all" in my real life
and "y'all" in my bloggy life too!
thank you.

  16. Oh dearest I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY???? I hope it was a great one, and again, you have captured a color that I really have never been big on, but I think that you have the capacity to mix any color with WHITE and it makes it stand out even more. WE STILL HAVE TONS OF SNOW and we are getting a major storm TODAY! The days are getting longer for us, but it doesn't seem right since we are still in the winter mode. It has to be coming, IT JUST HAS TO COME, SPRING!!!

    THANK YOU FOR VISITING; we had a great celebration for our anniversary! LOve, Anita

  22. Here in East Tenn, we have a lot of bloom going on. Our lovely yellow narcissus are everywhere, the blue squill is in bloom, the hyacinths are beginning to peek at me and I expect to see the little muscari at any time!

  23. I love your pictures they are so full of color. They make me feel, like when you put your face up to the sun with your eyes closed but you can feel the light.
