It’s Springtime and the Lilac bushes are full of blooms – except in my yard! Last year my lilac suffered from powdery mildew and it was in bad shape because I didn’t catch it in time. I trimmed it back to the ground in the fall – so this year, I only have one bloom! But, one of the wonderful things about living in Lancaster County is that there are so many roadside stands run by the plain people selling flowers that they grow in their gardens.

Yesterday I was out running some errands and saw a stand by the road full of colorful lilac bouquets! I quickly pulled over, hopped out, and picked a few bunches. If you can’t read the part of the sign that is partly folded, it says “put money in blue box” . You don’t see that much anymore!
I brought the lilacs home and arranged them in my Mary and Martha Grace & Gratitude Pitcher.
I had so many lilacs that I cut some smaller and arranged those in an ironstone creamer.
Then I remembered my friend, Angie from Knick of Time, had a free music printable a few weeks back titled “May Flowers”.
I downloaded and printed it on card stock and then put it in a frame I had on hand to create a vignette for my buffet.
So simple, yet so lovely!
Stop by Angie’s blog to download and print your own copy of the “May Flowers“ sheet music. And, if you are interested in the Mary and Martha Grace & Gratitude Pitcher – you can purchase it from my Mary and Martha shop HERE.

That is so beautiful, Doreen! Thanks for sharing! I live in Lancaster County too! Did you see the beautiful rainbow last evening? I took photos. I enjoy photography too!
It’s a small world! I missed the rainbow!
Doreen,
Never thought of printing sheet music other than for Christmas songs. Thanks for the idea!
So pretty! What a steal for the lilacs! I love stands like that, with the honor system!
Hi Doreen, you always have nice posts. I love how you make such nice arrangements. Thank you for sharing all your work.
