Look at me gloating just a little… perhaps “the curse” has been broken?
Too soon to tell… but enjoying them in my garden now!!!

Too soon to tell… but enjoying them in my garden now!!!


Celebrating another Floral Friday with a collection of flowers in one of my stamped & soda-fired vases. Fun orange & gold flowers with some seeded eucalyptus for added texture!










Last night at Lillstreet, someone brought in some free flowers for the taking… presumably from their garden. We were all so excited… I mean, who doesn’t like brightly colored flowers to brighten their day?! For FREE!!! I grabbed a bundle …and then got a couple more that were left behind. Sure, I could have put them in a big vase… but I thought a line-up of my drinking tumblers might be more fun!!! Thanks again to the anonymous flower fan… we all loved them!!!













Loving the vibrant colors & patterns.
Perfect for a little pottery studio open-house-warming gift!!!

More rain this morning… more colors & textures from my back porch!




Raindrops sitting on some colorful begonias blooming
on my back porch on this grey, dreary & rainy day!




Vibrant red flowers in a “scrolly” green square vase. Rich gerbera daisies, ruffled ranunculus flowers & seeded eucalyptus add texture & drama. Perfect for another Floral Friday!








Some fun flowers blooming in the front garden currently.
My friends call the “Bears Breeches.” Not sure if that’s correct…
but they’re very cool nonetheless!!!





Celebrating another Mugshot Monday all the way from Nova Scotia… with some LEGO flowers in a stamped & soda-fired mug. Once again showing that not every mug needs to be filled with coffee or tea! Thanks for sharing Shannon!!!
