Hello Blogging Buddies!!

 Here is one of Southern Man's favorite shots of me. He took this on one of our many adventures together.

 I love to take photos. My family teases me about this, but when they get those amazing scrap books I make jam packed with all the memories they have forgotten about the complaints seem to fade away.


I have to say this is not one of my best poses ever. But it has a truth to it. It is SOO Natural. I am short and don't have much to my waist, which is one of my pet peeves with my body. We all have them. However this photo is a natural way you could find me in a crowd. 


These moments with my children go by so darn fast. Heck the last 10 years of my marriage has flown by. The two young dashing people that got engaged 10 years ago now have old people bodies. I laugh when I get a glimpse of the Southern Man and I 10 years ago.


Ok, small detour on the road trip I have taken you on. The truth is I could not find more happiness in this side of my creativeness. The moments I have captured with my photo taking creativity is truly one of the very best gifts I have ever given myself. 


I am contemplating a new camera.

Creative Corner: Unexpected Treasures!

Unexpected treasures have been in my path a lot lately. A few weeks ago I snuck out to our local, Marshalls or as my family calls it,"MARRRSHALLS!"   I am always go in there with an open mind and just see what jumps out at me that will spike some creativity. So with this noted I do not make these quick trips, sometimes they can turn into a solid hour of creativity. 

So what did my wondering eye come a upon. This amazing warm colored milk picture. Which was food friendly! I turned it into vase!  Now resting on my farm house coffee table.

Doesn't it just scream FALL!! I love, love,love it!! I am so tickled we are just weeks away from this amazing season!! 

The carnations which have a wonderful smell to them I got at my local Giant. I think they have the best flowers! Out side the local flower market in my home town in OHIO!! GOOO BUCKS!

Well the creativity did not stop there! 

Last night I was at Target doing my every week house hold goods shopping and what did my eye spy this time??

This over sized canning jar. Oh, how the ideas started running into my mind almost as fast a waterfall on a rainy day! Well I think you know what my first idea was....

Another great floral find at Giant. I just love how tall it stands. Even Southern Man complemented me. He is a wonderful floral giver, just not one who notices. I think because we have been married so long and I have always filled our home with flowers he has grown a custom to them all over. 


I hope I have inspired your eyes to be on the look out for unexpected treasures! 


Happy hunting!

Creative Corner This week's floral arrangement and more

Spring is on it's way. That is what I keep telling myself even though I saw snow in my back yard yesterday morning when I let the dogs out. 

To help my family not loose hope that spring is here by calendar and to keep their hearts a bit sweeter I filled up a Montana jar with some spring colors and delightful yummys for their sweet teeth. 

The jar was filled last week. This is what happens when our family gathers in the kitchen for conversation.

This week, I think I was channeling memories from my wedding to my sweet Southern Man. The floral arrangement for my dinning table symbolizes my wedding boutique in so many ways.

I just find this breath taking.

No, I don't think I would think of red as a typical spring color unless I was about to celebrate memorial day. 

However these breath taking flowers caught my eye in the Giant Floral section. 

I used a short, over sized circular vase.

Two large bunches of large headed carnations. 

I hope this has inspired you to add a little spring hope in your home!

Check back next week to see what is in my creative corner!

Cheers,

Cynthia

Creative Corner- More Flowers

Tulips Any one?

There is a dusting of snow outside my front door and I am choosing to ignore it. 

Instead I am going to focus on the fact with little effort I can bring spring back into my home. Here is one of my favorite vases I purchased from Whole Foods about a year ago. I love the wide mouth and depth to it. 

So find the spring in your home, pull out a favorite vase and fill it up with a bright spring color!

Cheers,

Cynthia
