I don't have a teacup with lilacs so this one with violets will have to do.
The Grape Hyacinths I bought earlier this week were getting a bit floppy so I tied them up.
Some early Mothers Day flowers.....
...and a Lavender Standard.
Not far along the next street we came upon the little cupboard beside the road with a FREE sign on it. It was in good shape and even has casters.
Needless to say we brought it home, cleaned it up and put it in my walk-in closet where it will replace a much smaller wicker shelf that stood there.
The door to my closet. I found the fake chandelier at a garage sale some years ago. The little child's jacket that I hung on the door knob is so soft and sweet. I like seeing it hang there.
That's it for today. I wish a Happy Mothers Day to all of you. I know it won't be a normal kind of day but hopefully there will be some hours of joy in it.

Happy Mother's Day to you too dear friend. I enjoyed seeing your closet and door with the pretties hanging in and on it. The flowers are all gorgeous too. I'm already having a wonderful day. Alex facetimed from Japan for over 2 hours tonight. He always beats Mandy to holidays because he's a day ahead and it's already Sunday there.
ReplyDeleteThe joke is on him though, I got Mandy's present and card in the mail yesterday! :-)
Blessings,

A great find with the cupboard and a joy to see all your beautiful blooms. Hope you have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThis Mother's Day may be a bit melancholy for many of us, something to look back on and remember. We will have our son with us. We're taking a chance on him, knowing he has been out in the work world, but also knowing he would like to be here with us and sit in our garden.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can enjoy this day, too...and what a great free item.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!Your Mother cup was lovely! I like to see all your flowers. In Norway we call the Grape Hyacints Pearl flowers, Perle blomst, in Norwegian. How nice to find a cupboard for free.The little child's jacket looks so sweet and cute on the door. I think it can remind us mothers about all the happy years with our children.
ReplyDeleteI love your cup of violets - it reminded me of a little china mug I used to have as a child :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have had a great day, Mxx
Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteHad a nice long talk with my son David this morning. :)
Happy Mother's Day to you also. It has been such a nice day. My son took me to lunch at a seafood restaurant where we ate outside. Then we walked a trail by the Ashley River for awhile. It was certainly a nice change!
ReplyDeleteA very happy and Blessed Mother's Day to you too!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it was such a beautiful Mother's Day in the best weather with lots of sun and happy coffee on the terrace.
ReplyDeleteAll loved ones called and sent pictures.
Thanks for your great photos ... the little jacket on the door is lovely and so cute. Yes, I think it's a pleasure
to see every day.
Have a happy week. Viola
Happy Mother’s Day Granny M! I hope you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a happy Mother's Day and had a special cup of tea in that pretty Mother cup.
ReplyDeleteGreat find and looks just right in your closet.
I hope that your Mother's day was sweet to you dear GM. Oh I love that beautiful tea cup and I must say that Rosemary is a fav of mine. I have two little granddaughter's that love to rub their little hands in rosemary and then want me to smell. LOL! Loving that chandi too! Hope you have a wonderful week. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, sorry I'm late!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you, too! You spread beauty wherever you go. Lovely flowers! And that little cupboard was a great find! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be the most ABnormal Mother's Day to be without flowers. I know you had plenty, and so did I. It really was a lovely day here.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet things inside your closet! Your tea set is delightful -- all small lavender colored flowers are just elegant!
