My Visit to The Floral Market With a Few Floral Tips

March 16, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

On Thursday, my cute friend Barbara and I ventured to the Floral Market.  From that visit I thought I would share my visit to the floral market with a few floral tips. Barbara is hosting an outdoor bridal shower today and wanted fresh flowers for her tablescapes and centerpieces.  I can never resist a visit to the floral market and Spring blossoms, so off we went!

*This blog post was updated October 2025.

A tip for floral market newbies: You will be walking into a refrigerator.  A refrigerator so cold you will need a coat.  Really, you will.  It is c-o-l-d where the flowers are stored. As we walked in, these lovely roses caught our eye.

My Framed Cardboard Chalkboard from a Cereal Box

I like simple crafts. And if they don’t cost a lot of money, even better.  My Framed Cardboard Chalkboard from a cereal box fits both of those.

My Framed Cardboard Chalkboard

I found this lovely frame at the thrift store for 75 cents.  She is an oval metal frame, and with the right paint and additions I can find a place for her in our home.

I’ve Got “The Monday Blues”

Yay!!  It’s Monday!!  After a week of resting, washing 24 table cloths, and 100 chair covers, and trying to get our house back in order from our son’s wedding, I’ve Got “The Monday Blues“.  But, I LOVE the blues-so it’s all good!

This week Grace from Kitchen Table Art sent me another one of her favorite blues.

Stenciled, Refreshed Rug

September 20, 2012 By Meegan Leave a Comment

I have had rugs on my mind. I would like 2 new ones for the kitchen, one for the side of my bed, and a new one for the TV room. I look, and look, and look, and look everywhere!  I look for deals, I look for colors, and I look for makeovers ideas. I look around even when I don’t need a rug. So, I decided to make my own Stenciled, Refreshed Rug.

I painted one wall in our TV ROOM “A Hint of Olive” by Ace Hardware.  I LOVE how it turned out.

You can also view my pinkish frames, my pinkish pillow, my lampshade, the floating frames, AND my “pass it along gift-a handcrafted decoupage can” made by Debbie Doos on the table here.
