Sundays Life Among The Blooms #1

Good morning, sweet friends! Welcome to Sundays Life Among The Blooms! Hope you have your cup of coffee in hand (tea or favorite beverage).

Thank you for joining me!

Here on Sundays, I talk about random things going on over at White Lilac Farmhouse and things that stop me in my tracks.

There have been some many things going on here.

Haven 2022

A mini vacation from work to spend time with amazing and talented women at 2022 Haven Conference. My mentor this year was none other than the fabulous, Leslie Saeta from My 100 Hundred Year Old. Home. Leslie poured so much love and knowledge into her group. I just adore her.

Haven is a bloggers conference held in Atlanta, GA (next year in Nashville). Here at Haven, we learn from some of the best in the industry. Subject Matter Experts on how we can grow our business/brand through various social media platforms and our blogs.

You get an opportunity to meet and talk with brands such as Home Depot, Ryobi, Black Dog Salvage, Rust-oleum, Behr, King of Christmas, Zibra, Amerock and more!

Do you follow Hometalk? You should and can find my projects there too.

The best part of Haven is seeing many of my blogger friends. The friendships built over the years are beyond amazing. It’s women helping and supporting other women.

happy birthday to me

How about these beautiful birthday blooms?

Friday, July 29th – I celebrated my birthday quietly at home. My son, Zach dropped by with an Carvel Ice Cream Cake from my mother. The beautiful bouquet of flowers are from my daughter Amanda, her husband Wayne and two of my grandchildren Madilyn and Anakin.

Orange, pink and that beautiful green just screams summer to me! There is something magically about the colors orange and pink together.

Christmas in July! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

This week projects were about getting a jump start on Christmas. I have been crafting and making fun ideas for my holiday decor!

Believe it or not, I usually craft in the months of July and August for Christmas. This way, I concentrate on shopping in the fall. December is the month I love to bake and enjoy gatherings with friends and family.

Today, I am working to make some more of these DIY Pink Marbled Ornaments. Are they not beautiful?

what stopped me in my tracks

My sweet friend, Leslie at Feet Under My Table has this wonderful Christmas gift idea. Tips for harvesting your herbs for gifts. I think the best gifts are the ones that are made from the heart. I just love this idea. She has wonderful homemade gift ideas.

This lovely friend, Kim at Perfecting Places has best summer centerpieces ideas. The orchid and moss centerpiece in this giant clam shell stopped me scrolling. I was captivated by the beauty of this summer arrangement.

My beautiful friend, Kim at Cottage In the Mitten shared a beautiful outdoor table setting. The colors used to coordinate with her porch and patio planters are stunning. You have to see the gorgeous wreath on her door. Her beautiful cottage has three porches!
