My lilac bushes and peony are in the ground and the tall lilac is right under mom's window.....right where I wanted it. Thanks to my friend who helped me put them in. I'm so grateful! I went to the flea market and bought a ring. My other friend that I went with bought some jewelry for tribal looks (she will be joining the troupe that I'm in) and she had a great time with her first visit to the flea market. I went to the garage sale across the street and bought several things including an ergonomic desk chair, a beautiful photograph for my dining room, a magazine rack that I'm going to use for something else, but I'm not sure what yet, some shiny brites (replacement for some of my Christmas decorations that burned in the fire), some jeweled elastic headbands that I can use in a 20s look with some modifications, and a winter scarf. Less than $10! One of my friends came to the same garage sale and bought $72 worth of stuff! I did binge again last night but I'm feeling pretty miserable so that won't be happening again! I'm not all full of sadness and mourning.....I had a great day. Hooray for great days.

Oh, I love lilacs. I have such a gardening urge right now, but with moving into an rv, there isn't much of a chance to do that. LOL

I am so happy you had a great day! Keep smiling!

I love peony's, my grandma used to have all over her yard. :) Sounds like you had some great finds, I need to go do some serious thrifting.

I love lilacs too....
Hyaciths as well....BUT they don't even grow well in this area - too dry and warm for these bulbs....I can almost smell them from here :)
Good for you that you went out to the flea market for some good old fashioned girly fun...I'm glad you had fun :) Enjoy!
