For Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Easter' theme, I am showing these pink Calla Lilies I did for an Instagram challenge earlier this year for @alexandrasillos. It is done on cardstock (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") in permanent markers.
Well our Walmart online grocery delivery was cancelled without reason yesterday half an hour before its expected arrival. We were so angry and disappointed. It was our first and last time using their service. I donned my mask and gloves and went to my usual grocery store. It is what we will do from now on. There was lots of toilet paper, kleenex, meat, albeit no flour. The cashiers were behind plexiglass screens and there were social distance markers indicating where we should stand in line. It was not very crowded at the time and I was happy to get stocked up with groceries.
Your lilies are beautiful. Sorry to hear about the delivery, that must have been very disappointing, especially at such short notice. Glad you were able to shop, thou. Take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Glad you found a better way to go. Go you!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully painted lily flower!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing that they got everything and the shop is not so full.
Take care and stay healthy
Greetings Elke
Beautiful Christine !
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThe lilies are beautiful Christine!! I think it's good that you "outed" Walmart like that. We are not going to do the online shopping for any groceries because you just never know what you'll get from them, what they'll replace and in what condition it'll be. I'm sewing masks today and we will be doing one last big grocery run in quebec in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteOn my blog I was referring to a comment that was sent to me last week telling me that there wouldn't be a chance in hell I would be moving in May. I didn't publish it, but I thought it was really inconsiderate of that person to say it. For someone like me who has anxiety to begin with, I couldn't understand why someone (who is actually a regular reader) would say something like that, knowing how nervous I am already and how excited I am that I bought my first home!
Beautiful Calla Lilies ~ Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely Calla lilies!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done... WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteWal-Mart has done the same thing here, too.
You are lucky to have an alternative.
Stay Safe 🌷
David does all of our shopping at Sack n Save because there are fewer people and more meat on the counters.
ReplyDeleteI love the Calla-Lilies ... I had them in a planter on my deck at our last house. They are so beautiful as is your painting. I hear you about getting deliveries ... not easy and I too go to the grocery story with my mask and gloves. I am still nervous about it when I get home. I try to clean my groceries and wash my perishables, but every time I take something out of my pantry, I wonder ... and then I clean it again. Can't be too careful, but it is unnerving. I am high risk because of my age, but my husband has lung issues so if it got into our house it would be tragic. I certainly will be glad when this all passes ... and I hope our country has learned a lesson about preparedness ... OMG :( Stay well, Christine ...

I love the calla lilies.
ReplyDeleteSorry your order got cancelled.
We don masks/bandanas and gloves and venture out on grocery shopping day. On line would most definitely be better.
The calla lilies are gorgeous! I love them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your order was cancelled. I've had some cancelled items myself. It can be frustrating...
Sweet photo of the Calla Lilies, my Mother's favorite flower. We only saw the white ones back in those days and in her wedding photo she carried a bouquet of these lilies. I'm sorry about your order being cancelled. We are expecting a delivery this evening for the second time. No problem with the first. Keeping fingers crossed that there will be no problem with this one. I just read that a supermarket not too far away had been closed due to one of their employees being diagnosed with Covid-19. I pray for all those grocery workers. They really are taking a great risk with their own health to sustain us all out here.
ReplyDeletepink is beautiful color
ReplyDeleteNice art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Calla Lillies! Sorry to hear about the cancellation of your delivery service. Getting tired of "suiting up" to go to the grocery store, but looks like we have to endure it a little while longer:(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work of art.
ReplyDeleteI hope it turned out well.
It is not nice to shop during this time.
Happy Friday.
Ohh they looks like real:D Super!!❤
ReplyDeleteThe calla lillies are gorgeous. Sad about the delivery, but happy that you were able to get stocked up.
ReplyDeleteone of my favorites among flowers. :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNo flour when I went shopping today either!!!! Plenty of other things though. That totally sucks, if they gave you not reason, put a complaint in!
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork :-D

ReplyDeleteThat's some lovely art, Christine. I'm feeling the Easter vibes.
ReplyDeleteGirl did good! :)
