~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I hope you had a super Easter celebration yesterday; I did! After church, I had my son and his family over for a ham dinner.
Jane, who lives in Pennsylvania, sent me this gorgeous arrangement of flowers. And, look! Some of the blooms are
Blue!Does anyone know what is the name of this flower? I've never seen it before.
It seems that flowers don't usually smell as nice as they used to, but oh my, does this arrangement smell good! I think it's the roses. There are two more roses than the one shown in this shot.
The arrangement is pictured here in our Family Room, where I placed it as soon as it arrived on Tuesday.
That way, we enjoyed it before Easter.
Of course, I used it for our Easter table centerpiece.Our dessert for our Easter dinner was our traditional egg cake from Publix, a Florida grocery store. They create an egg-shaped cake covered in flowers, but I always ask them to form the flowers into the shape of a cross and write, "He Is Risen" on the cake. This year, thinking of
Blue Monday, I had them do all the flowers
Blue. The icing is chocolate fudge. Yum!
I'm pleased with the way it turned out.Remember to check out my book giveaway.

What a beautiful arrangement of flowers! I know you enjoyed them so much this week. I love the cake! I have never seen one quite like that before. The flowers in the shape of the cross is a very nice touch. Thanks so much for hosting. I've linked up some photos of our trip to the seacoast this weekend. Have a blessed week! Candace
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, your comment made me smile. I know some people like my hubby feel pity to the poor crabs, but one time I told my honey, their fate is to be eaten hon, hehehe the more he doesn't like it.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who lives in Maryland and that's what she told me too you have plenty of them, she said she bought bushel and boil it then put it in freezer.
But I tell you Sally, it's good with coconut milk and some vegetables hehehehe. Thanks for the visit and the comment I do appreciate it.
