I stopped at a garage sale in my neighborhood this afternoon and picked up a little blue and white vase. Nothing fancy, just a little blue and white vase, with a rippled edge.
You know what happend next.... I asked how much, the woman said a dollar and I said sold.
I brought it home and realized I didn't have any flowers to put in it. I did not want to spend money on flowers, and I didn't think the yard had anything to offer.
I was wrong....
As I looked around the yard, I noticed my Rosemary bush was blooming.
I cut a few sprigs and put them in the vase.
I put The Blue and White Vase on a Blue and White Plate that I had, and Shazam!!!! A little color in the Xavier Ct. house for....
A Dollar!!! And the Rosemary smells wonderful!!
No need to run out and buy flowers for The Blue and White vase.
Something that I often forget to do... look around your house and yard to see if you don't have something you can use or repurpose.
I'm so glad that I took a look in the yard!
My thoughts and prayers to those in tornado country. I can't imagine.

Isn't it such a feeling of satisfaction to use what you already have to make something beautiful? The rosemary looks just right in that cute vase.
