One of my favorite things about our home, when we were buying it, was the fact that it came with a ginormous lilac bush. I know -- not a exactly a selling point when you're looking to purchase a house, but I was secretly very happy about it. I have always loved lilacs, and I love nothing more than having huge, fragrant blooms at my disposal, to place throughout my home. In fact, when I opened my eyes this morning, the first thing on my mind was the sweet smell of the lilacs that were sitting on top of my dresser.I will have to keep my eyes out at the thrift store, so I can make one of these repurposed cake stands, from Craftynest.
I also love her thrift store plate mirrors.
I think these drop cloth drapes are great, and am wondering if they are the solution to my living room/dining room drape woes, from The Lettered Cottage.
I made these homemade hamburger buns in my bread machine, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to buy another package of hamburger buns at the store again. I used half white flour, half whole wheat, and they came out great. I'm never let down, when I try one of Amy's recipes, from The Motherload.
I don't often bake white bread, but I tried this recipe yesterday, and it produced a lovely loaf of bread with perfect texture. I'm pretty sure I'll be adding it to my regular rotation of breads. I saw the recipe on The Motherload, but it originally comes from Dine & Dish.
Happy Weekend!!!

Love, love, love lilacs (did I mention I love them?)! They're my absolute favorite flowering bush and always bring back great memories of my grandmother's lilacs as well as the ginormous bush that my parents have. I have several bushes planted around my house, some of which came from my parents' bush! Mine are still a few weeks from blooming, which is fine with me since I still have them to look forward to. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the pictures of yours. :)
Ah the sweet, heavenly scent of lilacs. How could one NOT love that scent?? The bush is beautiful. That would certainly be a bonus when buying a house!
I absolutely love lilacs! A few weeks ago my husband's grandmother gave me part of her lilac to transplant here. I planted it beneath my kitchen window...I hope it does well, and grows as big as the one in your yard!
