Its purple blooms looked like dozens of silent bells!
How I loved that plant but didn't want to part with $9.99 to pay for it.
Right before Mother's Day, however, I returned to the super and bought one campanula.
Then, throwing all precaution right out the window, I drove to Big Lots and bought a fabulous heavy ceramic container for the plant.
Happy Mother's Day to me!
The gesture of generosity toward self felt great.

I'm so glad you treated yourself to this lovely plant and pretty pot. What pretty bell blossoms.
I can just imagine how much joy you will receive day by day by day ... Susan Branch often quotes a saying from Iris Murdoch: "One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats." I agree.
Wishing you a beautiful day,
Brenda
Your purple flowers and the ceramic pot is a perfect present just for you, Susan. Don't ya just love Big Lots? My sister first introduced it to me many years ago, and since then, I was hooked. Your flowers go well with that pretty blue pot.

I do not treat myself much at all.. I need to do more of that in my old age. Good for you..buying yourself a Mother's day plant ..It is pretty. I love lavender colors.
What a wonderful idea to treat yourself at this special time of the year. It's a lovely tribute to you.
I love it - I love the flowers and pot and I love the way you take care of yourself. I am pretty good about things like that too! sandie
Your pot is a beautiful focal point for this lovely plant which looks so pretty placed among the others. Enjoy your day.
I'm pretty good at treating myself.
