Welcome The 66th Masterpiece Monday!

Enjoy beauty that you already own, for free. A blessing from God......

I asked my hubby to pick some flowers for me out back while he was doing some yard work.......I think he did a pretty good job!

Ever notice how great any flowers look in blue canning jars?

I always forget we have these pinkish/purplish geraniums. Charles found them by the curb one day and planted them in our yard. They're now a huge bush.

So, I decided to decorate "Old Rusty" (my vintage fireplace) for Spring! Here goes:

I wish I had all those flowers in my garden :)
Instead, I visited Melbourne Flower and Garden Show and made pictures I'm linking today.
Enjoy your Easter time and be blessed!

It's amazing how often we see the expensive "schtuff" in the stores and forget about all the little lovelies we have tucked away at home. Since I'm a Southern California girl, I have a preference for bougainvillea, but it's true that just about anything looks great in those jars!! ^_^ Add a white fingerling starfish to your blowers in blue jars and VIOLA! Instant beachy cuteness. Thanks for reminding us that you don't have to spend piles of $$ to have a beautiful home.

I have a stash of old jars I use for flowers too. Old rusty sure looks ready for the Easter bunny. Great job of adding and arranging the flowers. Happy Easter.

: Name: Mary; Location: O.C., California

Huntington Beach, California. I'm a Christian and happily married to the love of my life. I'm the proud foster mom of a beautiful teenage girl. I love sharing the beach and the simple, fun of boogie boarding with the children we foster. I never tire of watching the joy on their faces the first time they try it! That's why my home is called "Boogieboard Cottage". I love the simple, frugal and beachy life style. My favorite things are thrifting and collecting vintage treasures, cooking, crafting, and decorating.
