A Cake Stand as a Vase?



Here is the story of how a pedestal cake stand became a vase.

Delicate Purple Flowers

Is it a creature moving gently under the water, or is it small bugs on the tips of a plant?

For the first time since I moved here, one of my tropical plants, which I think might be a Ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa "Sherbert"), is blooming. It has these delicate purple flowers with white stamens with yellow tips. I was so excited to see it bloom and with such lovely flowers.

Corner Night Stand



Decorated corner night stand
Refinished Corner Night Stand

Loved the cut out design of this corner stand. As usual I was not sure where it would go, but I knew that I would find a spot for it.

It was white when I found it at a consignment store, but the white paint was peeling off in large chunks. The color under it was somewhere between Kelly green and Christmas green.

Again, I loved the piece, but not the green showing through and I didn't want to sand it and let the green show through. It looked like someone had used latex paint over oil based paint the way it peeled.

Blooming Pink in Florida!

This week I was so excited to see that my roses are beginning to bloom. Roses seem to love this Florida weather.(This time of year it is just perfect!) 

Variegated Pink Rose
I have roses most of the year which is great. I have three planted on the side of my barn and they like it there. The colors include a variegated pink rose, a lavender rose and a red one.

Happy New Year Everyone !

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. It has gone by so fast, but the time spent with family and friends was great. 

 

It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone. They say as you get older, time seems to fly by faster, I think they are right. 

 

I only began my blog in late August, and I was so exciting hooking up with other bloggers and linking up to many wonderful link parties and so much inspiration from all of you. 

 

Hopefully this new year will bring even greater growth in my blog and in myself. I have new projects planned and  many projects that need to be finished.

 

I look forward to visiting with all of you and hope you will spend some time with me as well as I continue with my journey. 

 

Best Wishes for a Happy New year!
