Farmer's Market Flowers


I wanted to send you happy weekend wishes!

I picked this adorable little bundle of flowers up at the farmer's market last week. It is amazing how just a handful of flowers picked from the garden can make a room really come alive. I love to use interesting old containers. This is an old apothecary jar that usually resides next to my range in the kitchen and holds utensils. It's one of the pretty old things I plan to sell in my etsy shop.

When I had Shari of Little Blue Deer redesign my blog in November, I had her add a shop heirloom tab at the right. I am little embarrassed to say that I am yet to add anything to my etsy shop yet. I wanted you to know that I have been putting together a collection of special flea market finds and taking photographs for the debut. I like taking and styling the photographs more than all the work it takes to put together the shop.

  1. I love fresh flowers. I wish I could have fresh flowers in my house every week. I guess I would need a flower garden for that:)

  3. Hiya,
    The flowers are beautiful... unfortunately back in Lahore where I live, its so hot that fresh flowers even when kept in air conditioning barely last a day or two...
    Sigh.
    Happy Weekend.

  4. I agree that fresh flowers can make all the difference, especially when they are presented in such a creative container. I can't wait to see what you stock in your etsy shop. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
