Thank you all for the sweet comments...I'm feeling better, thank you! 
Saturday afternoon I decided that I needed some fresh hydrangeas in the house so I went on a hunt. I first went to the grocery store and their floral department had some beautiful pink hydrangeas but they were $29.00 ...too much money! I drove by Trader Joe's...they keep all the florals outside so I didn't even have to get out of my car but no luck~ I didn't see any hydrangeas. Then I went by Longs Drug store, they also keep their flowers outside but I didn't see any there either. Finally I went to Orchard Supply Hardware and I had to go inside but lucky me, I found these beautiful hydrangeas to keep on my dining room table.
It's amazing how fresh flowers in the house make you feel so much better. (see that dark wood in the corner in the photo above...that's my next project, it's a free amoire from my landlord) 
I love fresh cut flowers in my home but potted flowers last so much longer...better for the budget!

That is so FUNNY because I saw the wood furnature in the corner and OMG! she has wood. Then you said it was your next project.I can't wait to see it all done. I love your hydrageas. They are beautiful. I work at Albertson't and it is so hard for me not to buy that sort of thing there but they are way to pricey for my budget as well.
have a nice day I am glad your feeling better.
P.S I keep look for the new issue of Romantic Country is that the issue your home will be in?

Love the flowers, I am so looking forward to spring and summer. Just so I can do some gardening.
HI Cindy, I'm so glad you are feeling much better. Your hydrangeas look beautiful, we are very blessed here on the mountain as they grow like weeds up here. Mostly blue due to the acidic soil but I do have one pink one. I must go pick some today too!!

I have successfully turned the grocery store variety into outdoor shrubs. Just cut them back when they are done flowering and in your climate you could probably just plop them in the ground now. Around here I have to keep them growing until May and then plop them in. Voila, instant new shrub!!

Beautiful hydrangeas like these will cheer you up fast - I love them and grow them in the garden but am worried for this Spring as we are not allowed to water AT ALL now!! The drought is so severe in our area.
So dear Cindy - sending wishes for much better health this week, and yes, you are right, nothing better than feeling well!
Get well hugs - Mary.
those are lovely hydrangea

Hi Cindy. Love those blue hydrangeas, especially with all your lovely white treasures! I, too, shopped for flowers for my home this weekend, but didn't find any I loved, so I decided to wait. I agree with you: flowers truly do make us feel better, especially following some very drab winter days.
Glad you're feeling better.

Hi Cindy,
I just love blue hydrangeas and your are lovely and they look amazing on your table.
Can't wait to see your armoire project.
Enjoy your week. Suzy
Glad you are feeling better. Those hydrangea's are an amazing color! I honestly do not think I have ever seen them that deep blue/purple before.
I saw the "normal" pink ones at Walmart yesterday for only about $6.00!
Glad you're feeling better. The flowers are gorgeous. I think I need to get some for my dining room table. It would add a bit of 'sunlight' to a cloudy day. ~Adrienne~
Cindy, I hope you are over your cold. You are so right. Fresh flowers give us a lift. I think I need to go get some for myself. What beautiful colors~ the blue and white together. I can't wait to see what you do with your project. Kathi
