Recipe to Cure a Chilly and Blustery Day!

Today was in the 50's and very windy.

The sun was shining beautifully, but it was just too 
hard to stay outside for very long.  A trip to Lowe's for 
some new blinds gave me some inspiration to add a bit 
of cheerfulness to a corner of my kitchen. 



Here is the Recipe I used:

I started with a bright and uplifting Gerbera daisy.

Then, I poured it in one of my favorite white pitchers.


Since no "recipe" is complete without some
 extra ingredients added in...

  I tossed in a handful of fresh rosemary clippings from 
the herb garden...


....and a few sprigs of yellow jasmine from the
 birdhouse post...


Finally, I mixed it all together with some blue plates
and a bird's nest...


And, added two cute little friends as a final seasoning.


And there you have the recipe for a bright and "sunny" corner 
of a kitchen.




Mmmm....yummy!

  9. I love the look of your blue and yellow vignette. The floral arrangement alone is beautiful but is really special with the other elements in the vignette. About the question of should you join some othe linky party, in my humble opinion YES you should and that would be mine!! Each Mon. at 8 pm I host "Your Cozy Home Party". Anything pertaining to the home is what we want to see, so your beautiful vignette or anything else you choose would be fantastic. The party closes at 10pm EST on Thurs. Sure hope you can come! -----------Shannon

  10. If it weren't so cold and rainy I'd run out and bring in a Gerbera that's blooming out there in the cold rain.

    Love the yellow. Made a note to buy more Gerberas and get out the blue salad plates. Thanks.
