Beautiful sunshine was
peeking through the trees this morning…
It’s warm rays waking the world ever so quietly.
I love the smell of the world outside after rain…
the clean fresh air and the sun warming the plants…
It’s invigorating and inspiring.
These fluffy blooms were drooping quite a bit ~ weighed down with rain.
So I clipped a few branches for a dreamy bouquet.
I am not a fan of snow, as you know…
but I do love these kinds of snowballs!
Perfect with the antique mirror on the bedroom mantle
and so charming on the french inspired
bistro chairs on the patio.
They are wonderful inspiration for Summer decorating changes.
I just ordered a couple new design books…
can’t wait to peruse their pages
and share some inspirations!

They look beautiful Courtney! Martina
So pretty! My grandmother has a snowball bush in her front yard that my great-grandfather planted SO long ago, and it's still going!
I love your flowers, especially in front of the old mirror. Very pretty!

So simple but yet so beautiful!
Have a wonderful day,

I can't wait for my endless summer hydrangeas to flower so I can have some cuttings for indoors. I love the snowball variety.
Courtney- Those are beautiful "snowballs". I love them…my Mother had a big "snowball" bush that spread and was huge. It was my favorite plant on the farm…well, right AFTER the lilacs!;>) xo Diana
Oh…I love snowballs so much….
They look lovely in that basket.
Those snowballs are sure pretty. What part of the country do you live in? I would love to plant one of those. Gorgeous!

Oh, my snowballs are on their last leg! 🙁 I'll just admire yours since the only enjoyment of them at my house currently consists of my daughter picking up the petals from the ground and throwing them in the air, "It's snowing Mommy!"
Your arrangements look gorgeous and gave me a few ideas for next year!

Hi Courtney! I love your pretty snowballs! When I was a little girl my aunt had a snowball bush! I loved it! Glad you got some rain as we're so very dry!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Your blooms are lovely, and I'm swooning over that antique mirror. Nice vignettes.
So gorgeous. I wish I had some of those beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing at my Swing into Spring party.
Your snowball photographs are absolutely gorgeous Courtney! They look like they should be in a magazine!

Oh those are pretty! I love hydrangeas. A cardinal just built a little nest in our hydrangea tree. It's right outside my door so I'll get a good view of the little babies 🙂
Happy WW!

Hi Courtney,
You stole my next White Wednesday post title lol. But, hope you don't mind I'm still going to use Summer Snowballs. I love the sound of it. Your snowballs are lovely. I wish they would last longer.
Getting ready to link to your party.
Have a great day!

I absolutely adore snowballs!! Your photos are so beautiful and I really love the photo of the snowballs in front of your vintage mirror, just gorgeous!
Have a beautiful night.
Sincerely,
Melinda
My grandmother had them too. they always bring back such wonderful memories. Thanks Courtney for always coming to the party!

Your table looks lovely and the burlap was a great idea. The only burlap I have is on our Christmas tree as garland (it came in a roll.) I have yet to find the popular kind in a fabric store here, so your idea of the coarser weave at the home center is something I may just pick up.
Thanks for linking up to Cottage Flora Thursday's! adoring your basket filled with snowballs! xoxo, tracie
