an old cupboard & some fresh flowers





I am always changing things around in my home.  I will find a bargain piece of furniture, use is for a while, found something to replace it with and drag the old one to the shop to be sold.








I recently found this very old English pine cupboard at a tag sale for $125.   It was intended for the shop, but never made it there.








A very sweet neighbor has the most amazing cottage garden.  Every time I drive by I always take the time to admire what she has done.








She knows how much I love the white limelight hydrangeas that she grows
in her beautiful gardens.














She surprised me over the weekend with a phone call to let me know that she had made me a bouquet of the hydrangeas for me.











she left them on her porch for me to pick-up when I drove by.










They add the perfect touch to my new vintage cupboard

I can see why your cabinet never made it to the store - beautiful! I am a big fan of hydragneas and have several bunches through out my home.

The crisp white of that wainscoating really makes the cupboard and all the wonderful/simple features of it bloom ,too. Beautiful!

Ohhh, they're beautiful, and they look perfect on top of the cupboard. Everything looks so fresh and pretty, the wall color, the hydrangeas, the cupboard...

That's a great piece of furniture at a great price. It would be fun to paint the inside a shocking color like a bright acid green that worked with the flowers.

What a beautiful cupboard. I love the colour. I too love white hydrangeas and have them mass planted under a huge sunburst tree :-)

Love your "new" old cupboard and beautiful flowers! I met some of your family a few weeks back up here at my shop. Such a small world it is isn't it?

I LOVE the scrubbed wood cupboard next to the white beadboard! What a great piece! And there is nothing so fresh looking as a bouquet of hydrangeas. In fact, I think I'll go pick me a bouquet right now.

Hi,

Fresh flowers that are largely demanded for their freshness and aromatic qualities. These are used for various decorative purposes as per the requirements of customers. Thanks a lot...
