~Rose Bath Salts and Simple & Sweet Fridays #152~

I decided to make some homemade bath salts.

There's nothing as pretty as roses floating in your bathtub.

After working all day,

everyone needs a little pampering.

All you need is some epsom salts and 

a glass container to put them in.

Tie some jute around it with some fresh rosemary.

It not only looks pretty,

it's a great stress reliever too!

Don't forget your feet need a little extra pampering too!!

I wanted to share with you an amaryllis that is blooming in our garden.

This one is called "Papilio".

So beautiful!!

~Vintage Roses and Simple & Sweet Fridays #151~

I received a beautiful Vintage sign for

 Christmas from Carly's boyfriend, Justin.

I thought I'd create a vignette

 using some of our roses from our garden.

I used my mother's antique silver pieces.

Added some pearls.

I had a beaded runner to add some shimmer.

Everything looked like it was meant to be in a vignette.

The two bigger pieces of silver are

 a pitcher and a ice bucket.

The creamer and sugar piece were perfect with some jewelry.

I love how the roses compliment the silver.

So pretty!

I took out my sketchbook and watercolored the photo.

Not bad for a beginner.

I took some photos of the last of our blooms in the garden

 before I cut them back.

I'm always amazed how beautiful roses are.

Love to admire them in any vignette!

~Drying Flowers For Spring~

Drying flowers for Spring is one of my favorite things to do.

Since I had to cut back my roses for Spring,

I decided to pick the roses and flowers that were blooming.

I always love using them for different projects for the Spring.

I found the perfect drying rack at the thrift store.

So easy to tie them up with some jute.

I wonder what ideas I'll find on Pinterest.

Looking forward to more flowers in the garden in Spring.
