I have a theme for today's My Happy List! :D You probably think I'm the biggest Nerd when I post themed Happy Lists, but that's okay....
My Happy List: A Library of Flowers
1. My sweet friend Patty sent me the very nicest care package on the planet. It has set the theme for today!
Let's take a look-see:
I love the pretty cards and tags!
I think I've read all of Sarah Jio's books but this one. I can't wait to read it!
I just realized that Patty also crocheted me a surprise, but I'm using it in the art studio and I forgot to photograph it.
Thanks, so much, Patty! If you haven't visited Patty's blog,
Patty's Pretty Things, you really should!
My Sweet Blog Friends Make Me Happy All The Time!
2. I bought a book at my favorite Indie Book Store (Sundog Books in Seaside, FL) during the summer, and I haven't read it yet. But I read
Linda's review, and it changed my mind. Now I have two wonderful flower-related novels to read! {Disclaimer: Life After Life isn't about flowers, but the cover sure is eye candy!}
3. I was having an interesting discussion with some girlfriends the other day, and one of them said that the average American woman has at least five different perfumes on her vanity. I couldn't believe it. I have two at the most at any one time. My friends all had more than five and were teasing me about how surprised I was over that statistic. Anyway, they bought me a couple of small perfumes and made me buy another one so I'd have five. Trust me, we didn't spend more than sixty dollars for all three because two of them are tiny.
Do you see them?
What about now?
These little books conceal perfume bottles!
When the bottles are removed from the little book boxes, Oscar Wilde quotes are revealed!
This is the one I bought for myself. It's called Kirimashi Air. It smells like white tea and orchids. It's a very light fragrance.
I was not a very girly girl when I was younger, and I'm still more of a sporty spice than a posh spice. But I'm happy that I have girlfriends who straighten me out about what's considered "normal."
4. Speaking of flowers, my garden doesn't know that it's late October.
We planted carpet roses in September, and they have several buds and blooms.
Our camellias are also starting to bud and bloom.
Our encore azaleas are blooming much later than usual.
I like the orange gazing ball for Halloween. :D
Y'all know from following my blog that flowers always make me happy!
So, I want to know: I'm I the odd girl out? Am I the only one who thinks that five perfumes is excessive? How many perfume bottles are on YOUR vanity?
Until next time...
Blessings!
