Ohh, the Splendor of a Sunday! Downside: tomorrow is Monday and that means the start of a new work week for most. The upside: Sundays are special; a day intended for rest and a day that carries different importance to each person. Whether it's spending your mornings going to church and enjoying a nice lunch with family following, or attending a Sunday family dinner that night to soak up that quality time you've missed all week. Sunday's to me bring peace. The kind experienced from family and enjoying the things you love and worship. My favorite kind of Sunday is spent at home; sleeping in with my husband, cooking a big ol breakfast, relaxing or working on our home the rest of the day, and then attending the evening service at our church, The Summit [in Orlando].
A splendid little detail that I cherish? Fresh flowers; a love engrained into me by my mother. She has always had a knack for fresh flowers; growing them and arranging them. They were always a part of our home growing up and a trait I love so dearly about her: the passion she has for them. Now, my green thumb is more of a chartreuse green. In other words...unlike my mother, I have never had the natural ability to grow things! I do try; the effort is there. At our house, we have an amazing garden area that was installed by the previous owners. So, naturally...my garden pants are on and I'm on a mission to get that puppy up and running. Prior to the wedding festivities, my husband even brought home a rose bush to really kick things off! Roses were my grandmother's favorite flower and one of the first blossoms I wanted to incorporate. Aside from our garden, we have two mature camellia trees in the yard that bloom...like...crazy! Those have become the staple live flowers in our home. They are continually found on the windowsill in our kitchen and as shown below, I arranged them with a few of the leftover flowers that I brought home from our wedding. [I think I repurposed our wedding flowers for the entire week following]! These were set in our bathroom and really brought that bit of "splendor" to the space. Amazing what fresh flowers can achieve with their natural beauty.
