Lilacs & Swedish Style

Hello everyone!

Remember when I said I wanted some lilacs?  Since I live in an area that can't grow the real thing, I decided to go and buy some fake ones!  Beggars can't be choosers ya know.  So here they are in all there purple glory.

I secretly like that they're fake, because now I don't have to worry about them dying.  Ha!  Because we all know that live flowers don't last forever.  I just wish they would smell like the real thing though.

See, they add a touch of color to my otherwise neutral kitchen.  I think they look pretty real.  What do you think?

And because I'm nice......I share!  You can have these, too, if you go to Hobby Lobby.  They're even on sale this week.  Now, all you southern girls can have lilacs too.

I recently received a book on Swedish style that I'm enjoying reading.  Thought I'd share that with you too.

It's called, Living with Light, by Gail Abbott.

 

It has been around for a couple of years, but it's new to me.  It's a great resource on how to bring the lighter look into your home.  I've been doing that alot lately. 

I found this book on Amazon for just a few dollars plus shipping!  Score!  I'm hoping to add more books like this to my library.

Hope you all are having a great week so far.  We are enjoying some pretty weather  with lots of sunshine.  Everything is nice and green after some much needed rain last weekend too.

Thanks for stopping by!
