Hello everyone! I have been MIA for quite some time, but I really have been SO busy! And we were at the beach for a week which was heavenly….I want to go back!
A while back I entered a give away at Cindy’s Fractured Fairy Tale….if you know her blog at all (and I highly recommend you becoming familiar with it) she is SUCH a talented artist, with a great eye for design as well! I LOVE her blog….anyhoo….she had a give away for one of her fabulous paintings….an original….it was hydrangeas….my VERY favorite flower….needless to say, I entered! And guess what???? I WON!!! I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a piece of Cindy’s art in my home! I was so picky about the frame I wanted to put it in and changed it TWICE….painted it once….tweaked it countless times! But alas….here it is…
the touches of pink….love it!
the frame….
in the room……
Thank you Cindy!! I love it so much and it is PERFECT in my dining room!!! I knew it would be
THEN Steve built a window box for the window on the front of our house….it used to look like this…
Now it looks like this…
we yanked out the shrubbery that was here…I don’t miss them…
Cameron got me the mini hydrangeas for Mother’s Day…
sweet potato vine, petunias…
lantana, vinca (periwinkles)
Fred…(my wild cat that I feed twice a day buthewon’tletmetouchhim!
I LOVE it! You know, I think I could hire Steve out! We make a great team! He told me I had bought too many flowers and was not going to be able to fit them all in the window box….I said, “Are you smokin’ crack?”
Yes, they all “fit”…instant gratification!
Thank you all for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win! It is a beautiful painting. Love that flower bed and your beautiful flower boxes!
ReplyDeleteSteve did a great job on that window box, Lou Cinda! I love it! My hubby would be with you on getting rid of the bushes. He thinks they make great homes for bees. : ) Love the painting you won. It is just beautiful. I finally planted some hydrangeas here last month. Some pink ones to keep me missing my huge blue bushes back in NY.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, i can't believe how beautiful it looks in your house! That painting was just made for you, I'm so glad you won it...and i LOVE the frame, it couldn't be more perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour window box is wonderful too, i love your little circle with all the pretty plants, everything is so charming there!
