I love this time of year for one reason; the flowers. Everywhere you look in grocery stores, side streets, Instagram and so on there are displays of beautiful flowers. I love having them on my desk, on my kitchen table, on the coffee table, anywhere and everywhere you can think of. I think I come by this love for fresh flowers honestly. My mother planted a garden full of gardenias, roses, and hibiscus just so she could have her favorite fresh flowers around the house everyday. I still remember coming down for breakfast and knowing, by the sweet perfume coming from the kitchen, she had already been outside that morning picking her gardenias. To this day, every time I smell a Gardenia it makes me think of my mom and I love that. I don’t have my garden of fresh flowers yet but I share in her love of having them around the house.
Oh I put down some perennials this year I have some Gardenias (love the smell) and Hydrangeas. I love your interior decor Mary you have me ready to embark on an interior decorating project.
Just did a post on nearly the same thing earlier this week. Fresh flower season is my favorite 🙂 xoxo
SO fun girly! I am the same way it is my favorite treat to myself every week to buy fresh flowers. Your place looks so fresh and pretty too! xxxx (Aren’t gardenias the most amazing flowers ever? That smell!!!) xx Sallie

Yayyy, such beautiful photos! My mom does amazing things with flowers too. But as I’m living with 2 boys right now flowers don’t really go with the decor of video games 😉
