~~~My New Find!!!~~~

 Hi everyone! I was out the other day, just browsing....HA!.. and found this wonderful bottle/vase! It came from TJMaxx. I just loved it and since all my bud vases are packed I HAD to buy it, right??? I mean I had this lily in a kitchen glass for heaven sake!!!  I love the rattan wrapping on it.  I think it could be used in so many ways. I put it on the coffee table in the living room so the HEAVENLY scent would be in there.
 It sits next to my faux hydrangea arrangement that I made severeal years ago. I wish I could find a SMALL urn like the one I did it in to do a tutorial for you!
 When I cut this lily some of the buds were JUST starting to open. In my haste I forgot to take the tag off the bottle:)
      Isn't God's artwork just amazing????
 Today all 5 flowers are open and the scent it just amazing. I sit on the sofa to read and am surrounded by the perfume of the lillies.



I will join Marty for Table Top Tuesday @ A Stroll Thur Life  Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great weekend everyone. On another note they are still working on the new septic system but think they will be done by the end of today.......................I doubt it:):) XO, Pinky

  1. Your lily is gorgeous. Our flowers look so sad. The Russian Sage is thriving though.:-) I'll have to remember it seems to be drought resistant, when do plantings at our next home.

    I like your new vase. I would have brought it home too. Although I'm trying not to bring anything home, for the "duration".:-)

  4. Love the bottle! It kind of looks like a demi-john -- that whole rattan-covered bottle or vase-thing is so popular right now. The lillies are gorgeous! I don't really know much about lillies, but are those Star Gazers? I can almost smell them.....lol!

  6. Pinky, thank you for dropping by. You and I can relate to each other...moving is not fun at all. I hope that you are able to sell your home. I had a septic system when I lived in CA. The leach (sp?) lines were everywhere. Sorry you had to put a new one in. They are expensive! Your new vase is cute. I am trying not to buy anything new as I still haven't packed most of my dishes. Best of luck in your new adventure -- so fun that the footings have been poured. Joni
