Flower Market

This week we spent a few days in Vancouver, British Columbia. We drove to Seattle for a day and visited Pike Place Market. I just loved the beautiful bouquets and cut flowers! They were also reasonably priced, but since we were cross-border shopping, we couldn’t bring the real thing home, so I took lots of photos to enjoy in the coming days when snow flies… 063

Even though these aren't my flowers. I am taking the liberty of flaunting them over at Tootsies anyway.

Oh, Millie... those are magnificent! I love these, and I love every picture. They have some combinations that I wouldn't have thought of which makes me love them more.

A summer ago, I was in charge of the flower arranements for my MIL's 80th which I shared in a post that's up on my blog. If you get a chance, drop by to see them. I directed the florist in another city, and I think he did a very good job. We didn't have peonies (which I wanted) so he used full blown roses which worked well in their place. But I am a peony girl!

These flowers, though, are just amazing. I'm so glad you got their pictures. You always have such gorgeous flowers on your blog which makes it a pleasure to visit you.

XO,

Sheila :-)

Decorating for Thanksgiving 2020

Image
 Our Canadian Thanksgiving is in one week. Due to COVID, we won't be having a Thanksgiving family dinner this year, but I did some decorating anyway. This Thanksgiving will be different in another way also, as one of our Grandsons is getting married during the same weekend. Due to our Provincial rules, they are only allowed 10 guests The wedding will be held in his parents' back yard so another 10 of us will be seated in the yard next door to see the ceremony.+ It has been almost 2 years since I  last posted. Sometimes life events get in the way!
