Joy List Monday

One of the bouquets I made for my Flower Subscription business .. using edibles in the bouquet.


 Joy List Monday

 a weekly ritual
a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties
and graces that make life magical and to set aside time for gratitude each day


 ♥ Sunshine .. goodness we went for about three weeks of clouds, rain and fog. When that sunshine came streaming out for not just a few moments but for several days .. a jump for joy was had!

♥ A little project is happening here .. I will share soon .. each time my husband and I get a little more done on the project,  I do another jump for joy.

♥ A new to us place to walk. It really was there all the time, it was the first for us to think of taking our daily walks there.

♥ Autumn colors .. I do love them. The only thing I wish I could do would to be able to glue on the leaves until after Thanksgiving.

♥ Apple Pie Bars .. a new recipe I made over the weekend.


Another bouquet using dried seed pods. I am noticing texture makes a bouquet just as much as the blooms.

  7. I too am thankful for some sunshine! We've had rain for so long, the sun was a beautiful sight over the weekend. We are back to clouds today, but I'm still pulling for the sun to show for a bit! Looking forward to your project! Love and hugs!

  12. What a beautiful arrangement, my friend, and I just loved your joy list. Thanks for the delightful post, dear Carla.

    I have been meaning to email you and tell you that I am sorry about your Brewers. They sure put up a fight against the Dodgers. My husband, son, and I have really enjoyed watching the games this year and we can't wait for the World Series to begin tonight. I love the Red Sox, but I also love the Dodgers (excluding Manny...I have never cared for him). Anyway, it will be fun to watch.

    Hugs to you!

  13. I left a comment yesterday, but realized they weren't posting because I wasn't signed in. After hours of frustration I finally figured out there was an issue, so here I am again lol

    Anyway, those bouquets are really good! Glad you finally got some sun :)
