A Pitcher Full of Wildflowers

Bringing some of Summer's beauty indoors.
The handmade pitcher was a gift from my mom. It sits on my kitchen windowsill year-round.
The flowers were all fresh-cut from around our yard except for the yellow Gerber daisy that towers magnificently over the other flowers. It was a "just because you love daisies" gift from a special friend/neighbor of mine. Thank you Lori! I made sure to capture its beauty in photos before it wilted.


I added Kim Klaussen's 123 texture to this photo.
Framed it in a Vintage Frame from the Coffeeshop Blog.


Wishing you a Happy Monday,

Daisy, Daisy ....

                       
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage.
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet
Upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two."
                     - Henry Dacre (1892)

My mom use to sing me this song when I was little at bath time, bedtime or other special times growing up. I also have special memories of my grandmother singing it with me as well. When I became a mother, I would sing it to my girls during special little moments. And every now and then, one of them will still want to sing it together. Its a sweet little chorus that brings a smile to my face and warms my heart.  


Every time I see a daisy this little tune comes to mind .... 


Giving thanks that school is out and our girls are home with us! 
Happy summer!
