Style Scouting: Vol. 147

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

So many of you commented on my last post about the pink hydrangeas on the front of my house. Since planting them a few years ago, they have done very well. They get just the right amount of morning sunlight and are in the shade the rest of the day. I think it also helps that there are 3 sprinkler heads running under them that go off every other day.

On the flip side, the hydrangea bush on the lake side of the house didn’t get as many blooms this year…

… but I snipped a few of the flowers to enjoy on my kitchen table. Just looking at them makes me happy. How about you? Do you love hydrangeas too?
