Romancing The Sink


The pink knockout roses are blooming and they had to come inside. 
No further than the kitchen sink.
I have been far too into gardening to do any arranging of vignettes in the house.


This is the best I can Romance a Sink.

I have spent the morning recovering a password. 
I would rather have a tooth extracted.
Then I wrote an installment of Hold Everything Lightly which I will post tomorrow on 4/03/2012.

Linking with these delightful parties:

joy and peace
Olive

  7. You know, I used to keep flowers in a bud vase at the sink on many occasions, because I spend so much time in that area. This is something I haven't done for a long time so thanks for the reminder. They are lovely.

  17. What an unusual vase....sometimes life is fine unromanced - your house look cleans and frankly that is romance enough for me (sometimes). :)

  18. I think your sink area looks fantastic. Mine has cinnamon sprinkled around it. Deters the ants that have invaded.

  25. Olive, Can't believe you have roses already! We will be weeks before we get any. Thanks for stopping by and you are right the UK bunnies are so sweet. Have a great week, Laura

  26. Oh my do you ever deserve those beautiful roses! Perfect spot for them, I think!

  27. The knockouts are blooming here as well.
    Your kitchen sink vignette is beautiful. I am leaning toward a more real life look these days. I am answering the siren song of our granddaughter and the lake.:-)

    Thanks so much for stopping by the back porch. I love shooting the roads here at the lake. The road in the photo is inside Lake of Ozarks State Park. This road leads to and from our condo. It's just a beautiful ribbon winding through the park, a perfect look at a quintessential Ozark road. Narrow, curvy, and hilly, with beautiful views.

  28. Well, I would say you romanced your sink perfectly! These are the best colored roses a person could ask for to greet them at their sink.

    Thanks for this eye candy!

  29. Your roses are lovely and oh, how I love Meyer's products! Enjoy your week! ♥

  30. Ivy and roses ~ that's romantic enough for me, Olive! Do you like the Meyer's products? I've seen them and have been tempted to buy, but think I will use up what we have at home first. I like to know how other people like things, too, when they are new to me, so any thoughts you'd care to share would be appreciated.

  31. That is stunning! I love the clean look of it, will be a while before we see any roses here in Pa.
