Three Roses from Mom and My Thrift Shop Treasure "Hat Lady Vase"
I met my Mom and Dad for coffee and a muffin this afternoon. We meet in a small town between my home town where they live and Mike's home town where I now live, which is now my home town too! Mom brought me two pink roses and a bicolored orange rose from their gardens! How sweet! When I got home I snipped some dill and some bloom from our Walker's Catmint and gave them a home in this "Hat Lady Vase" which has its own story!
There was a quaint, but very expensive boutique I liked to browse in. I'd browse because I couldn't afford to buy, until the frustration (coveting) became too great, then I stopped browsing! The shop sold all sizes of the type of vase you see pictured and I rather enjoyed these vases, but gasped and cringed a bit when I peeked at the prices! It wasn't long when while shopping at the Goodwill, I saw this sweet vase for at least 75% less than the original price! I also found one at Tuesday Morning for 60% less. Yes, the hat gals are rather quirky, but I like them. Thanks to Mom for the flower beauties and to God for designing the beauties and for giving me the "thrift shop" treasure to hold the beauties!
