Can you believe it rained the other day in California? We were amazed and everyone talked about how fun it was and how much they loved it...you always want what you can't have! Today it's going to be in the triple digits.
When I heard it was going to rain, I went out and picked all my roses.
There were quite a few roses to be picked. It forced me to get out there and take advantage of them!
Some of the roses had shorter stems and I made bouquet for my silver teapot. Oops...I just said "My" silver teapot. I guess that means I am keeping it. Remember all the silver I found a few weeks ago? You can read about that
here.
I have sold three pieces of it so far and just listed the jewelry box.
I love the white against the silver.
I like the different sized roses, some open some just budding.
Can you see the tips of my artichokes out the window to the right? We enjoyed two large artichokes and now these little guys are flowering.
There quite a few long stem roses left over. I planned on using a few white pitchers, but I didn't have the heart to cut the stems down too far. So, I used this tall crystal vase (Las Vegas garage sale $2)
The rain did come and for us it was pretty heavy. I was happy I had cut them all when I did!
Now.....after scratching my head for days (and shedding a few tears) I think I have finally figured out what went wrong. My blog post were no longer on the feed and Bloglovin" did not recognize my blog to make the big switch!

Thanks, Gina! I do want to keep the teapot. Hard for to let go of silver pieces! Hope you have a great weekend too!

Oh, these roses are exquisite! I'm glad you cut them to enjoy before the rain came.
ReplyDeleteTriple digit here too. 106 yesterday and today!
What did you do to get Bloglovin to recognize your blog. It tells me I have a valid feed, but that it can't recognize it. Help! ~ Sarah
Thanks, Sarah. I am glad I picked all of the roses when I did!
DeleteI was reaching out every where for an answer about my feed and got an email that said, "I think you've set your own blog url as Post feed redirect url, this isn't correct. Suggest you clear this field." I showed it my husband and he said, "Get up!" So I moved over and two minutes everything was fixed! Once I did that I could claim my blog. :) I love how I say, "once I did that." I guess I should say, "Once STAN did that..." Those computer things make no sense to me. Frustrating.

Whoooo Hoooo- You showed up today! lol Those roses are absolutely beautiful and I love them with the silver. Good find with those silver pieces. I would hold onto that one though! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to finally be back on the feed. Even when I visited people, they weren't visiting back. :( I think a lot people depend on those feeds.We'll see!
DeleteEnjoy your Sunday!
Karen
wow really pretty flowers and vase :) wish i also have one for my room ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you Shayne! The plan was to list the teapot in my Etsy shop. I haven't done that yet. I really want to keep it!
DeleteKaren
Your roses are gorgeous. It's a good thing you were able to save them from our unusual summer rain...I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI loved the rain too, Betsy! It was a wonderful reprieve from this heat!I think it's going to be in the triple digits most of next week!!
DeleteKaren
Such beautiful roses...and they are gorgeous in the silver! Years ago, living in Sacramento, it rained in the middle of July...and it was the first time on that day in 20 years!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That's amazing! I don't think people really get that we actually get excited and nostalgic about the rain. For now we are stuck in the triple digits for at least four or five more days!!!
DeleteKaren
I hate changes sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMy hard drive crashed last weekend - and everything was backed up fine except (you guessed it) ALL my blog photos. Every single one of them.
So, you see, my sweet friend - it really CAN be worse!
LOVE your beautiful roses and awesome crystal and silver - just gorgeous.
Awww....michele that's just awful! I can't imagine. I won't complain anymore!!!! :) Computers can be so frustrating, but I wouldn't want to love without them!
DeleteHope you have a lovely Sunday!
Karen
Love the colour of the roses against the silver - beautiful photographs. It rains a lot here in my part of Scotland - we are surprised when its dry!!!
ReplyDeleteLiz @ Shortbread & Ginger
Thanks, Liz!! I know, it was hard for me when we lived in Brittany, France for almost 4 years. I just was not used to the rain and grey. Being a native Californian you don't realize how spoiled you are until you live elsewhere for a while. My French husband has adapted to our weather quite nicely!! Scotland is such a beautiful country!!! When I was a little girl we stayed in a castle bed and breakfast and watched hot air balloons over a gorgeous meadow one day. It has stayed in my mind and I was only 11 or 12. :)
DeleteYour roses are gorgeous and I hope you do a post on how you cook your artichokes! It's been really hot here, but finally a cool down today!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Danni! You are so smart! Duh, that would have good. Maybe it's not too late. Thanks for the post idea. I LOVE Artichokes! :) We are having triple digit weather. Next week a few days as high as 111 degrees. I am not sure if I'll be sending the kids to camp all day!
DeleteStay cool!

Karen, I love the white roses in the silver teapot and they look well in the crystal vase . Glad you got to enjoy them. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteKaren I agree with you about how gorgeous White roses are. I was with my mom in a lovely coffee shop here where they had a gorgeous White and red flower arrangement and I so admired the whites ones more. The roses and silver teapot it's perfect! Thanks for your sweet comments. Have a happy Fourth too.
