FLOWERS & FLOWERS & PLUMS OH MY!

The smell of the blooming Gardenias are wonderful as you walk in the backyard. I remember when my mom was alive she used to love these flowers. As a young girl she would wear them in her hair.

Sadly my mom is no longer with us. I miss her a lot. Sometimes little things make me think of her. Not all the flowers in my home are from the garden. I made these out of sugar. Well gumpaste for those of you who decorate cakes. Yes you can eat these, but they wouldn't taste to good.

I made the little starfish and sand dollar too.

These little blue hydrangeas are sugar paste too. I made these several months ago. Last year we had so many plums on the tree in our backyard. I wasn't sure if we would get any this year. Hey, there's one! Looks like we will have sweet yummy plumbs after all!
Hey! I see another one! Right next to the little flower. Can you see it? Look hard, they blend in with the leafs.

After searching I found several little ones all over the tree. I wonder if I will have enough to make jam again this year. Last year I made several batches of plum jam.

I was going to show you my new thrift store finds I got today but I thought I would share some flowers and plums instead.

Hope you liked them. I will share my great finds with you next time I blog. I found a chair to go with the cushions from yesterday!
