Flora Doora

I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday!

And also a Happy Fifth "Pink Saturday" Birthday to Beverly from How Sweet The Sound!

I was thinking about my Flora Dooras from the past few years, and realized how much joy they have brought me.  Making them and sharing them has been so much fun.  I decided to go into the Flora Doora files and find some pictures of my favorites to share with you.    Maybe there is one you recognize as your own.

Hope Flora Doora has spread some happiness to your home!

Magnolias Boutique Naples

If you are ever in Naples, be sure to stop by the beautiful Magnolias Boutique on Goodlette Road, just a stone's throw from the heart of Olde Naples.   The friendly owner, Monica, will greet you with a smile and
assist you in finding something wonderful and unique for your home.  It is a wonderful mix of cottage, shabby and French styles.    I stopped by today and took a few pictures of Monica's wonderful displays.

And  Flora Doora was there, too!

Hope you enjoyed the tour of Magnolia's Boutique!

Flora Doora Ironstone Bargain

I am joining Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday!

My favorite find of the past few weeks is this ironstone platter from my favorite thrift!  I love the rose pattern, however, what I loved the most was the price....

$.80

Hope you find a bargain today!

May Flowers

April showers bring May flowers!   I have filled a Flora Doora, sporting a pretty black and white striped umberlla, with May flowers from my garden.

Hope your garden has some pretty flowers this month!

We were recently lucky enough to visit an Orchid farm in Homestead, Florida.  Here are a few pictures of their beautiful plants.

Here are the three orchids that came home with us!

Love them!

Hope you have a peaceful Sunday!

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday Find

I am joining Linda from Coastal Charm for my favorite, Nifty Thrifty Tuesday!

I have been wanting white coffee mugs for quite awhile.  I didn't want just any old white mugs, I wanted white Anthropologie mugs.  Imagine my surprise when I came across two white Anthropologie mugs at my favorite thrift shop, in perfect condition.  Better yet, one had my married name initial and the other my maiden name initial.  It gets better, as the price was $1.00 each!  Now how often does something like that happen?

I was thrilled!

Hope you find something you have been looking for today!

Chelsea

2013 is the 100th anniversary of the Chelsea Flower Show in London.   I have always wanted to attend, however, have never had the opportunity.   I thought I would honor this anniversary  by naming my new Flora Doora, who is all decked out in British silk prints, Chelsea.  

She is filled with blooms from my garden, not show quality, but pretty all the same.

Hope you get to enjoy a flower show this Spring!

Hope everyone is having a peaceful Sunday!

Nifty Thrifty Artwork

I am joining Linda from Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday!

I ordered this extra  large photo from Staples for $3.49!  I just ordered an Engineering Print online and it was ready the next day!   Great for black and white photos!

 I mounted the print over a canvas I already owned.  A favorite picture of the fields of Nannay, France.

Hope you find something nifty and thrifty today!
