Magnolia Box

Hi, I'm Liz, and I can't throw unique containers away....ahhh, so cathartic! 

It's true; I can't throw boxes, containers, etc. that I think I can reuse.  Case in point, this cute little box that held an expensive candle.  

I went to The Graphics Fairy and found this great magnolia image.  I painted the box with ASCP old white, then used Mod Podge to decoupage the box.  Don't know what I'm going to do with it; maybe use it as a hostess gift with some candies, soaps, etc.

Hydrangeas

The hydrangeas are blooming now, and the creamy pastels pop against the dark green leaves. Love, Love, Love!

Vintage Clay Pots

A collection of vintage clay pots; love the texture, nuance of color, and shadows.

Magnolias

It's magnolia time, and no self-respecting Southern home would dare not have at least one magnolia tree.  I have three; 2 very large mature ones flanking each side the front of the house, and a small one that sprouted on it's own in the back yard near the pool. Still trying to figure out how it got there; maybe a bird dropped a seed pod?
