flowers for baskets

May Day roses set aside for baskets.





I love the tradition of May Day baskets. It's a great way to bless your neighbors and friends with a bit of pretty.





We have fun setting the baskets on the porch, ringing the doorbell, and running away before we can be spotted.





I hope you all had a wonderful first day of May!

A quick blog to say I'm still here.

This morning we woke up to gray ominous skies. I needed a bit of distraction from the gloom so I took a break to clean up the brass handles on the desk below. They had acquired a dark patina, which I didn't like. I'm so glad I took the time to brighten these up. The gold color is a nice contrast against the coco brown finish.





Our bathroom mirror


I just finished this mirror. We accidentally chipped the corner a few months ago. Instead of throwing it out, I covered it with mother of pearl chips and quartz geodes. I love the way the geodes sparkle in the light.

Wishing you a beautiful spring my blogging friends.
