The school that my kiddos go to had an appreciation brunch today... I helped out with the decorations so I am the happy recipient of the "leftovers". Not the food but some of the decor. The parts that were just going to rot if just left in a dark gym. So to our home they traveled.
Who knew that such simple things would make me so happy? I spent a little time this afternoon finding a "home" for these beauties.
Aren't they pretty??? I love sunflowers! You have to admit that the most wonderful "decorations" come from nature. God's creation is awesome on it's own but I also love to add funky pieces to the raw, natural elements.
Look at that beautiful curly stem! So fun! And the copper charger ~ from my Mom... I'll have to get the story on them but I use them all over my house when I'm decorating.
Clippings from our Yaupon Holly Tree. Just for color.
And the "crowning" piece ~ a knife from a set of 4 that my Mom made me buy on a junking trip (I'm so glad she did!)! Hello! Did you notice the awesome engraved "M"???!!! Did I mention the set was $2? Thanks Mom!
A mason jar all wrapped up with a burlap knot (love me some burlap)!
So this little grouping will live on my counter right by the sink where I spend lots of time! And I will now smile while I am doing the dishes...
