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!!!

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!!!
