Sunflowers!

I love sunflowers! I probably like them because they are yellow. Yellow roses are my favorite, they are more sophisticated, and sunflowers are more casual, but they make me happy just seeing them. Sunflowers aren't at all tropical, and aren't often seen here in FL. Sometimes they are sold in the grocery stores, and when I see them, I often buy a few.

The silk sunflowers above are now on my front door. The basket of sunflowers below are on my breakfast nook table. Can you see the black crow in them?

I have yellow Fiesta casual china that mixes easily with several pieces of sunflower china. I use these in the fall. Below are two sunflower dishes I bought last week at TJ Maxx. Aren't they cheery!

I also bought this square sunflower pumpkin platter at TJ Maxx.

This little Boyd's Bear is Blossum B. Berriweather....Bloom with Joy! Special F.o.B Edition 1999.

My husband bought me the little bear on the left, her name is Sunflower and her dress and bonnet have sunflowers on them. The smaller bear on the right is also a Boyd's Bear, I've forgotten her name, I like her little yellow sweater, and yellow hat with a sunflower on it! I think I'll call her Sunny!

Another sunflower dish below. I'm showing both sides of it. Below is the back.

I just remembered I have a hat with a sunflower on it. Maybe I'll get hubby to take a picture of me with it on tomorrow.

Do you like sunflowers? Do you have any sunflowers displayed at your house? I should also add, I love sunflower seeds, and I have a few recipes I use them in.

I have started doing a little fall decorating and will share more photos this week. We had company this past weekend, and today I hosted our Faith Sharing Group meeting. I have my Creative Memories workshop tomorrow night, but after that I'll be free the remainder of the week! I hope to blog and read blogs!!
