A Nice Surprise~


Some friends stopped by today, they recently sold their strawberry farm/produce store that used to be next door to our house, it's just not the same without them over there, but to my delight they brought me some homemade blackberry jam and strawberry jam!! I can't wait to have some, do you think that would be on the Jenny Craig diet?? LOL. I also wanted to show you some beautiful roses I bought at Target today, I don't know where they get them from but they are always so pretty and last forever, you may remember some of mine have lasted for three weeks and they were still beautiful! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week (;

I have had a couple of people asking about the teacup holders~I just wanted to let you know that they were another Homegoods find~What would we all do without these stores (;

The roses are really pretty. And real jam? How could you not ALWAYS need to use that after trying it one time. What great and thoughtful friends you have.

Hey Kelly,
Thanks for stopping by and wishing Christy a happy birthday. That was sweet of you. That jam looks delicious! I wish I had some right now with a buttermilk biscuit. Yum!! Also those roses are very beautiful! I didn't even know that Target sold fresh flowers. We don't have one here. I wish that we did.
Hugs,

Your blog is very pretty - and so are those roses! Our Target has never had roses that I know of, so that's so neat. :) Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comments!

gorgeous tease of spring!
Are the roses in the slipcovers red or pink? Very cute, either way.

I *want* that bike!
I like the TV cabinet-if it were me I'd *think* about using lace or something to cover up the TV when not in use but then I'd never get around to doing it:)
I'm all for hiding those things (TV's)!

I love home made jam...Years ago when I had the time I made jam bread etc...I loved staying home when my children were young...some of the best years....Love your new slipcover....I just bought my NEW IKEA chair...I will post it later...and I love it...just FyI...the pink slipcovers are out of stock for a short time...I saw that sign at IKA...maybe it is system wide...I bought 2 of the white...with 7 grandchildren I will be changing it often...hehe...

HI sweetie,

2 beautiful little Vignettes!! I just adore Jam and the jars they come in, there's just something about seeing them that warms my heart. It must have been the memories of me and Mom making Jam every summer. I still do on occasion. But anytime I see the Jars and the pretty colors of the fruit, I long for summer!

lol, a welcome site! especially because today is -5 degrees up here! :)

Have a wonderful weekend kiddo! Hugs, Cynthia

mmmmm!

some jam on a nice warm croissant. (i'm sorry -- it sounds like you are doing well with jenny craig.) i still haven't started my big diet yet. ugh.

anyway, homegoods is the greatest and always calorie-free!

enjoy! xo

Hello there...this is my first time here to visit. LOVE your style. Those are the couches I have been thinking about getting. I have never been able to get to our closest Ikea to check them out. Do they hold up well? I love your little vignettes...we have similiar styles. cherry

Kelly said...

I enjoyed visiting your blog. Everything is absolutely lovely...the jam, the teacups, the roses, your kitchen and living room...would love to stop by in person! I, too, have my mom's teacups. Perhaps I'll show them on my 'Things in my House Thursday' post. I hope you have having a wonderful weekend. Natalie

Have a great day!
