Style Scouting: Vol. 192
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.
When I think of Mother’s Day I always think of lilacs. They were my mom’s favorite flower. When I came across the photo of the lilacs on the Grit & Polish blog, I smiled.
My mom would have loved getting a big vase like this filled with them. It would be the best gift I could ever give her. She liked getting them more than any fancy or expensive item.
My mom is no longer living, but in the house I grew up in she strategically planted a lilac bush in the backyard where she could always see it when standing at the kitchen sink since it was a place she spent a lot of time.
My girls and grandkiddies are having a tea party over Facetime this afternoon. I plan to place a small bouquet of lilacs on my dining table in remembrance of her. I did see them once at the grocery store and hope they have them again.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Now onto the links I found this week.
