Last year I started the tradition of adding Christmas tree lights to my Christmas Cactus in lieu of a Christmas tree. I'm still unpacking from the move to Connecticut, but this Christmas Cactus will have it's Christmas lights soon.

What do you think. Does this make me scrooge or a creative person? Regardless I'm so excited my Christmas Cactus survived the move, and it's need for severe pruning and has produced some blooms after all.

Finding joy in the little things like morning coffee out of one of my favorite espresso mugs that I made and kept for myself, and how cheerful my new spider plant is.

The perfect mother's day gift is this pair of farm house white pitcher and travel mug. This white pitcher makes it really easy to use for any kind of bouquet of flowers. In the pitcher above I have a bountiful bouquet of ruffly daffodils.

Want to buy this farm house white pitcher or mug? Better check fast to see if it's not sold out already.

Here are a collection of bud vases filled with flowers from my yard. A combination of red and white tulips, hyacinths, and mini daffodils.

My favorite thing to do with bud vases is to group several of them together with flowers in them. Images below are a mix of these bud vases in different situations around the home.

Can you tell I'm enjoying growing my own daffodils. Did you know that historically you can identify where an old home stead was by the random growth of  daffodils in the woods. The next time you spy daffodils on a hike in the wood go inspect to see if an old home foundation is there.

Just a heads up. This is the last week I can ship pottery with the hope of it arriving in time for Mother's Day. I have a lot of amazing vases that you could up-level your flower gift for your mom on Mother's Day.

Find this beautiful vase and other pottery available for purchase in my Etsy store.
