Bloom Where You Are Planted!


Isn't this the cutest entry!

A dear friend helped put this together for me. I supplied the items and gave her a general idea of what I wanted. She found this piece of picket fence outside the church and bless her heart..took it upon herself to scrub it up...it didn't look bad scruffy but afterwards..I have to admit being a neat person..it looked much more "presentable"!

The "seeder" was brought in by our Pastor's wife..and the rest of the items were purchased at various stores as I saw them. (I was on the LOOK OUT for garden thingies...since Fall!) Seed packets...garden gloves...garden apron-given afterwards to my Pastors wife-who labours in their garden!)Large flowers to over hang the fence...All came together as planned. THANK YOU LORD!

The full entry photo here...shows garden tools and books with a hat and rocker..Imagine the time of refreshing sitting in the rocker reading up on the next lovely bouquet to plant.



Each year the Entry states our Theme....as does the center table.

I love using my tiered plate holders...they not only give height to the table..but also make a great centerpiece...I have fun every year decorating it with ribbon and flowers to match the color scheme. This year I found Gerber Daisy clip-ons that were perfect..no having to intertwine the stems and hide them! They matched the other long stemmed daisies..perfectly!




I asked one of our ladies to make "flower" cupcakes to put on the tiered holder...and how cute it made the presentation! We also scattered them about...like flowers blooming!




Thanks for stopping by ...I hope this inspires your next adventure in planning a luncheon or ladies get together!

...more to come from the...BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED... ladies luncheon!

I so agree...that is the cutest entry. Love the saying too "bloom where you are planted". Your daughter's pink and green
turning 20 quilt is gorgeous.

Everything about this luncheon looks amazing, you have such a gift I wish I could come to one! I am feeling well but very ready to have this little baby in my arms. You must be getting excited with the impending arrival of new grandbabies! Take care and hopefully I will have pictures to share very soon!
