My mother recently passed away and I’m not full of words right now. But I will say that Mom was a godly woman and she always said what she meant. An avid reader and writer, her last project was preparing a week-long devotion for a bible study publication. I have attached it here. Her gentle but sure voice will be greatly missed.
So I love cobalt blue glass! I have some in every shape and size…and of course, our Country Moon wine bottles are all cobalt blue. But there has been one bowl that I have struggled to find a use for, that was until I saw this trick recently online. I lost the original link but I will share the concept quickly here. The opening to the bowl curves inward making it difficult for a food serving piece but with this tip the bowl is very happy holding some short stemmed flowers. Simple cellophane tape is used to create a grid that supports 1-3 stems upright. Foam or marbles can also be used but not necessary with the tape. Add a few inches of water first, then the tape, then the flowers. The outside edges of the tape are covered with the petals as they overhang the edge. This extreme palette of orange, crimson and chartreuse in the cobalt bowl is really rich for fall.
