Almost Wordless Wednesday

...because dandelions picked by your children and given to you with love deserve to be put in a bud vase made of real crystal. (Thanks for the bud vase Grandma.)

Unbelievably sweet, Erin...

Cluttered Brain said...

Dress those darn dandlieons up in a beautiful vase like that and they are gorgeous beyond anybody's imagination! WOW!

Theresa said...

I will put blades of grass in a bud vase if my grandchildren pick them for me:) Sweet!

Me (aka Danielle) said...

so sweet! Aren't kids great!?

Jillene said...

My kids give me dandilions on a daily basis. I tell them that the grass loves them and will miss them so to return them to the grass. You are a better mom than me!!

Christa said...

You're absolutely right that dandelions from our children deserve a vase all their own. I usually use a plastic cup. It's time I started using something prettier.

Devri said...

That vase turns dandelions into beautiful flowers!!

secret, I love those weeds!

Adrienne said...

i do not let dandelions into my house. You are a better mom than i am!

Lucky you!

Keyona said...

Awww...how precious! I need to take notes from you.

I love the innocence of a child. They see flowers, we see roundup. I love the look though.

Lara Neves said...

And nothing says "I love you" more than a fistful of dandelions from your child. :)

Annette Lyon said...

The crystal vase is the perfect touch.

tammy said...

Yes they do.

Charmaine said...

How sweet! I need to get a little bud vase for the dandelions my little guy picks me!

rychelle said...

Helene said...

Those look beautiful!! I have some hand-picked roses from my MIL's rose bushes that my daughter picked for me on Mother's Day and even though they're all wilted, I just love looking at them!!

The We Heart Art carnival is now up and running on my blog! I hope you'll participate...the prizes are very cool!!

Unknown said...

They look great- and how sweet is that when your kids give you them? So cute!

Loralee and the gang... said...

I remember thinking how pretty dandelions were as a child, too! Didn't realize how pesky they were, though. And your kidlets are saying for sure that they love you!
:~D

King J's Queen said...

What a sweet gift! I should really be much more appreciative when my munchkin gives me dandelions.

Becca said...

That right there is a sign that you are a good mom!

Kimberly Vanderhorst said...

Suddenly, they don't look like weeds . . .

Heidi said...

Beautiful in every way!

Lee said...

I used to do the same for my mom. We have a bud vase that looks almost identical to yours. :)

Just SO said...

Awww... I too have a special little vase for dandelion bouquets.

Helene said...

For some reason I wasn't able to post a comment on your other art entry for the carnival but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed those pictures! My 4-yr old son does the same exact thing with his cars and action figures....lines them all up in a perfect line and he just sits there and admires them!

And I love the scribbly drawings with marker. My daughter does that too and all I see is a bunch of scribble but when I ask her to tell me about it, there's a huge story going on...it's amazing how their little imaginations work!

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

There's nothing better than dandelions picked just for you! The vase and flowers are lovely!

heather said...

Very sweet.

Heather of the EO said...

I just love this. It's true! Miles always brings them to me with such exuberance! How can I call them weeds and throw them aside? I've decided they're beautiful!

Melanie Jacobson said...

Now isn't that just the truth?

Anonymous said...

Completely precious. I love love love.

Katie said...

That is really sweet. They look fabulous in your crystal vase!

rachel said...

Dandelion bouquets are my absolute favorite :) Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. My 5 hours a week limit online is causing me to fall so behind!! To be honest, I am cheating and extending my time tonight to try and catch up! I hope all is going well for you :)

Hajar Zamzam Ismail said...

I love it. It's great to elevate the mundane to something truely special. I also liked aidens artwork, especially the ones he did with his cars and the dominoes. :)

Jen said...

Tell them to come pick the dandelions in my neighbors yard that keeps blowing over into mine :) Yep, I agree, they look so much prettier in a vase than in the yard!
