Our sunny weather has turned cold and windy today. It is dreary outside but my kitchen table is sunny with the help of daffodils from the yard and lemons from our tree.
The older I get the more I love yellow. I have always loved it and have had yellow rooms and even a yellow floral couch that my husband has never forgiven me for. He is tolerant of my tastes in decor but that couch pushed his limits. We lived with if for years so I guess it wasn't too bad.
These are the sweet gifts my blogging friends gave me Saturday for my birthday. Truly generous in spirit and friendship. I feel so blessed to have met these women through blogging.
They know me so well and chose things that I would have chose for myself. Thanks Shelly, Debbie and Patty.
Sweet gifts. I agree , blogging friends really are the nicest people. The yellow is so cheery, especially on cold, windy day.
ReplyDeleteBlessing.
The flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou do such a good job with all your decorations and table settings. I'm so jealous you have lemon trees. I used too live in Central CA when I was a very young girl and absolutely loved it. I miss the fantastic weather and Palm trees. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteA lemon tree...oh that would be heavenly. That garden book looks interesting. They got you some red. I love yellow...you know the yellow house that is yellow inside and out.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty yellows. I love yellows too. Looks like you got a loot of birthday gifts from the girls. and a good time too. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhat great gifts. How sweet of your friends. I really like that apron! Great fabric.
ReplyDeleteI like yellow more now than I use to. It's so cheery! Haing a lemon tree would be so nice!
Cheery Daffy's and what a delight to have your own lemons!
ReplyDeleteSweet gifts from special friends!
Happy belated Birthday!
Thanks for dropping in today! I enjoyed our little visit!
You have a lemon tree? You're killing me girl! I'm gonna go outside to my pinecone tree and do a cheery display! lol ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteThe yellow is so cheerful, especially daffodil yellow! You got some great gifts. Is that a vintage book I see there?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of bloggers with birthday's in March, and it looks like you had a very good one.
ReplyDeleteYour yellow daffodils and lemons are so pretty on the red tablecloth.
Hugs, Cindy
I love yellow too! I love the sweet gifts, and that tablecloth...swoon!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Elaine! It was so nice of you to stop by my blog! I've been scrolling through your posts and we have a lot of similar decorating and collecting tastes! I have that little stove in my kitchen, a collection of graters on the wall, muffin tins and rolling pin collections. I love Maryjane Butters and yellow is fast becoming my favorite color too...but still love a splash of red!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking back!
Love the yellow! Is that an apron I see? Adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteYellow just seems to fit your sunny, sweet disposition.

What great friends you have! I love how cheerful your daffodils and lemons look on your table. We have had some warmer weather the past few days. While I was out in our yard yesterday looking for signs of spring I saw the tips of what will be daffodils popping thru the earth. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLove the daffodils and lemons-so cheery! My daffodils are just coming up around my tree-can wait to see them bloom.

Aw. Those are such sweet gifts. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love yellow too. Such a cheerful color.
Have a lovely week. :0)
Happy belated birthday! You're very spoiled! Lovely gifts!
ReplyDeleteAnd overhere it's grey and rainy too, I'm longing for Spring and sunshine!
Hugs, Elly
Yellow is such a cheering springtime color - and daffodils are my very favorite flower. It's probably because they're the first ones I see after a long snow-filled winter. And lemon? I love lemon-almost-anything! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just bought some yellow flowers the other day. So cheery!
ReplyDeleteWhat neat gifts!

Such sweet gifts...Happy belated birthday...blessings
ReplyDeleteI agree, yellow is such a "happy" color...and Happy Belated Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated b-day!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool to "know"
blogging friends before
you ever meet for real,
and often they know the
gifts that will touch us
more than our day to
day pals. Love the idea
of daffodils in March ~
not happening here
until the end of April!
