~A Favorite Vintage Box & Lilacs


I've had this chippy green vintage box for years. It gets moved from room to room and never really has had a purpose or use other than just being beautiful. It certainly has a purpose now with these lovely lilacs.

I'm linking up with Debra from Common Ground & Tricia from A Rosy Note.

~I'm sorry I haven't been able to get back to you all right away lately, I've been having some heart problems and it's making me feel pretty icky! Hopefully my Dr. can get my meds straightened out so I can start feeling better. Please bear with me and just know how much I appreciate your continued visits and lovely comments!!!!~

Don't forget that my giveaway ends on Mother's Day, May 8th. If you haven't entered, you can go ***HERE*** to enter.
Good Luck!!

Have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day!
Sincerely,
~Melinda
