My Lila Mae is turning 8 today!
She is the baby of the family.
My how time flies. . .
We are spending our last day here in NYC.
I can’t wait to get home!
I have so many projects that I want to get started on!
A couple of weeks ago, I made a wreath out of my fading hydrangeas.
You can read about it here.
I found the perfect home for it!

Too bad that the perfect home for the wreath was the worst place to take pictures of it!
I hung it in the middle window of my bay in the dining room.

I hung it with twine.
Simple.

I love the freshness that it gives this room!

My family is headed home from New York tomorrow!
We have had a blast, but we are ready to get home!
You know when you have been away for a while, you begin to think about all of the things that you want to do when you get home.
Well, I have a list a mile long. . .
I have had plenty of time to search magazines (I always treat myself to a few new ones before a trip!)
And, to search so many creative blogs!
You bloggers are so creative!
Not to mention, New York City is FULL of inspiration!
My wheels are just spinning!
I can’t wait to get out my paintbrush. . .
Life to the full to you today!

Such a beautiful wreath, Melissa! I wonder if it will dry wonderfully being in the window.
Happy birthday to Lila. My middle child, Micah, is 7 today. How time flies.
Happy birthday to Lila! My Micah is 7 todeay as well.
Happy Birthday to your baby! Love your wreath! My hydrangeas are just blooming!
Happy Birthday, Lila! Your hydrangea posts have been making me want a hydrangea bush.
Happy Birthday Lila!
You have totally inspired me with this wreath! I have the same bush in my backyard and every year I “plan” to do something with the gorgeous blooms. I still can’t seem to get them to dry without losing their look. Any suggestions?
Beautiful, fresh, original wreath. I love it. I am just like you and buy myself magazines for every trip. I love it especially if I am going to be poolside. Happy birthday to Lila!
Happy Birthday to your baby girl! Wreaths are kind of a big thing for me, & I’m totally digging your hydrangea wreath!
Gorgeous hydrangea wreath. love it!

I don’t know if you have noticed it, but there is a beautiful hydrangea bush in the courtyard at church. I keep watching it expecting blooms to “disappear” as those who read your blog become inspired to decorate as you have with these beautiful blooms!
How did you put this wreath together?
Couldn’t help but notice that sign! I am in Murfreesboro! It’s a small world, isn’t it?
They look great there…so fresh and fluffy

Sooo pretty! I LOVE hydrangeas!
Your hydrangea wreath is gorgeous, simply love it!
Very beautiful in your bay window, great place to put it, it really looks wonderful.
Hydrangeas are one of my all time fav flowers!
blessings, and glad you had fun on your trip.
May the Lord watchover you all as you travel home.

Your wreath is too cute! Your hydrangea blooms are huge! My blooms(actually, my neighbor’s) have faded to pale blue and green. I put a cloche over one of the blooms that wasn’t quite dry and it turned golden. A very happy accident!Stopping by from Tuesday’s treasures.
I came over from Tatertots and Jello! What an adorable wreath! You have done a great job decorating your home! xoxoxo
Oh my word, this is stunning. Love it. Thanks for joining TTT.
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful post on Simple & Sweet Fridays. Happy Belated Birthday to Lila!
Jody
I love this! You’re so talented!
Oh my! How lovely. Gotta run and cut some hydrangea….
Honestly, hydrangeas just bless my soul. Honestly, they’re such lavish displays of God’s goodness, don’t you think? Love this wreath!
Love this! I’ll be featuring it later today.
