Magnolia & Milk Glass

Dear Blogging Friends

I have to apologize for no Goodwill find this past Friday.  My daughter was in town and we were so busy.  She's helping me plan and purchase for my hall bathroom.  Yes, my first DIY for 2016!  More of that soon.  So, on the way to work last week, I spotted this magnolia tree, I have literally passed it over the last 25 years who knows how many times and never even noticed it.  I noticed it more I think because I need some green!  With all the Christmas decorations gone and the weather well can I say "Brrr" my cold mantel needed some green!  So, one day at lunch I trimmed that magnolia tree and made my first, yes first magnolia wreath, brought in a few pieces of milk glass and my daughter wanted cauliflower and it was on sale! So much inspirations around us we don't even notice.  Do you agree?

    So lovely! Love the crisp, dark green against the white of the milk glass - perfection.

    Yes, I agree - so much inspiration around us.

    I would never have thought of using cauliflower.

    Thanks for Sharing Your Cup!

    So pretty! I really like the pops of green in the milk glass, and the cauliflower is such a fun addition. Thanks for sharing at Talk of the Town.

    Debby, Your wreath is beautiful! I love the magnolia leaves with the milk glass. Why didn't I keep all of my mother's milk glass??
    Thanks for sharing!

    Oh, to be able to pick fresh Magnolia leaves! How clever to use the cauliflower. I grouped my milk glass for a Valentines display on my mantle today. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

    I love this SO MUCH! I was going to make a wreath for our door this Christmas and even had my dad cut some trimmings for me but I waited too long and they started looking rough so I didn't do it. Yours is just beautiful!!!! xxoo, Dawn
