Friday’s Beauties

/4 Comments/in , /by

 

Good Morning Everyone,

It was such a nice weekend! I had the windows open letting in all that crisp air. It was so nice, then my husband comes through complaining about how cold it is.

I told him to go back upstairs! Let this house air out!!!! But I did have a good weekend. I took off Friday to go and have breakfast with my husband and he then took me to Homegoods!!! Yay! I didn’t buy much….funny how your husband is ready to spend money and you can’t find anything!!! Not funny God! 

I just got some new laundry baskets. He did hint around to birthday gifts and asked me for more ideas. We did end up at Macys and I got a huge bottle of Donna Karen Cashmere Mist. It is huge but I so love this fragrance. It’s wonderful. 

Okay, so I headed back to Walmart last week to take a look at their floral arrangements. I found a few that I really liked and was able to change the look of the floral arrangement in my office. I really like the way it turned out. 
This arrangement was fun to make once I found these peony & pumpkin flower bundles. I am really enjoying this in the kitchen.

I also could not leave Walmart with some real pumpkins. These went on my porch with my faux ones and blue and white planters. 


Lastly, I shared this beautiful and tasty treat on my Instagram account. I have been craving this for weeks and stopped by Starbucks and got a slice. It was so delicious with a cup of hot roasted dandelion tea.

I hope everyone has a great Monday and let me know in the comments section below if you have made any floral arrangements and where you made your purchases.

    Dear Mrs. Shockley,
    You have been knocking it out of the ballpark with these faux flowers, lately. I will look at them the next time I go to Walmart. I love the light one! Lovely.

    Warmly, Kathleen

    Hi Mrs. Shockley,

    I agree with Kathleen. And your gifted with your floral arrangements designs. I have not made any yet,but I have ordered a maple leaf with stems arrangement from Pottery Barn. Also, you really have me thinking of magnolia since you showed your Walmart magnolias. I found the most beautiful magnolia with pomegranates Christmas garland on PotteryBarn.com It's a little pricey, but I don't mind since it's high quality and will last for years to come.
    I am ordering that for sure for Christmas. I've never had magnolia, but it is so pretty. Thank you Mrs.Shockley

    Best,

    Mya

      Hi Mya,
      Thank you for the lovely compliment. Let me know how your arrangements turn out from Pottery Barn. Their faux flowers are gorgeous! I like you never thought about magnolias either until I saw that gorgeous picture on Liketoknowit. Pomegranates and magnolias… sounds lovely!!!
