Mosaic Monday

I had a relaxing weekend. How about you? One of my favorite tea places closed their door this Saturday and I am so sad to see them go. I did my part and joined in on Saturday afternoon for their 50 to 80 percent off sale. I have a cute "little something" that I will wait to share on Rednesday this Wednesday.
In the meantime I am joining up with my fellow blogger over at the Dear Little Red House Blog for Mosaic Mondays. This is a fun mosaic of beads and such that I found in the flickr group I belong to. Please pop over and see all of the wonderful photographs that Mary has to share along with the other mosaic pictures linked up there.
Thanks so much for stopping by......

Polyvore Cherry Favorites

I've been playing around this afternoon over at Polyvore.com where I created this collage of photos. It's been fun but I'm still in the learning phase with this being my first creation. You can bring together photos from all over the web to create your own Design boards. Check it out and let me know what you think.
It's not as easy as "pinning" on Pinterest but it is fun.
I hope you have a fabulous week of creativity.

Fresh Cut Friday

It's time again for Fresh Cut Friday over at Liz's Rose Vignettes. I did buy myself fresh flowers last week but I didn't take a photograph of them...sorry.

I'm totally cheating here this month but Liz was sweet enough to send me an email reminder so I just had to participate somehow. I've 'pinned' this fabulous arrangement from Pinterest that I just LuRvE. I love pink and these colors are just so stunning! I wish I did have the arrangement in my home.
Please stop over and see the Fresh Cut Flowers that everyone has shared on Liz's blog here.

Do Oreos go with White Zinfandel??



Yesterday was a particularily long day at the office. I came home hungry so I popped a Lean Cuisine in the microwave, with a little extra fresh broccoli added, soon after I arrived home. I poured myself a glass of Beringer White Zinfandel, my favorite, to go along with dinner. Now mind you I'm not much of a wine drinker so one glass goes along way with me.

Well then I ran out of food but I still had wine leftover. Personally I like a little something "sweet" to end my meal with.  I remembered that I had some Oreo cookies so I grabbed a few. I looked at my wine and thought I can't throw the rest out.  But then I thought "Is it okay to have white zinfandel with Oreos????"

The light went on and I thought I would ask my fellow bloggers if you've every had such a weird combination.  I still prefer milk but I was too frugal to just dump the wine. Any thoughts on what you would have done?? ;-)





Mosaic Monday & 300th Post

It's hard to believe and it snuck up on me but this is my 300th blog post. I feel like I should have planned for a better celebration. I'll save that for #325 I think. Who'd have "thunk" that I've had that much to share. I remember how hard it was originally to come up with an idea for a post. Some of my first post were pretty lame as I now look back at them.  Here's one of my first ones....not a real page turner..LOL.

Once again I'm joining up with my fellow bloggers over at Little Red House to share a mosaic of photographs for Mosaic Monday.
In case you don't know these are Fuchsia flowers. I just love the plants but I've not been successful with keeping them alive here in Florida. Do you ever look at things, smell things, or hear things that remind you of your past? I find this happens to me often.
Whenever I see fuchsia plants, and there are many different varieties, I think of my friend Steve who once lived in San Francisco.  The plants seemed to be very abundant in California. I have many wonderful memories of trips to SF to visit my friend Steve all the way back in the 70's, 80's and 90's.  This is my post to those wonderful times. We are still friends to this day and I had the chance to see him, again, when he came to Florida in June. There's nothing like old friends who you share great memories with.
