I bought 4 bouquets of flowers for my mother-in-law this Easter, and then stole one flower from each to shoot pictures in new vases I had bought.

I found these white ones at a garage sale yesterday. The woman considered them a long time before charging me $1.00. The little black one is from my mother-in-law’s collection of amethyst and black glass. I think it is a candy dish. The one in the front is my favorite.

It is my son’s Birthday today but we celebrated yesterday.

I am very proud of these packages. They made me feel like I was in Little House on the Prairie; wrapped in vintage fabrics and tied with old calico ribbons.

I do not have the best wrapping skills, but I do have good ideas sometimes.

These are all filled with vintage Stig Lindberg items. Really.

I like this handmade green planter with its pineapple angles and moody green glaze. A different garage sale.

Wanda Gag; a revelation.
