CONSIDER THE LILIES

It's time for "Bouquet of the Month" at  Ramblings from a Desert Garden again. Our lilies are in full bloom so I was trying out various "poses" for them, not exactly bouquets. I am reminded that even Solomon in the Bible, who was wealthy enough to afford clothing of the finest fabric or style, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.

Wow, Millie, these are amazing! Are those cake plates and domes? What an idea! I will surely have to steal that one next time I have a party. As the Bible says, those lilies are indeed more splendid than the richest fabrics made by man. Lilies were always my favorite flowers, though we are so limited on which ones we can grow here at this latitude. The Asiatics and Orientals are out of the question for us.

Hello Millie,

I think it is obvious why lilies are so popular based on your photos alone :-)

Your arrangements are so creative and are making me want to bring out my cake plates and domes. What a perfect way to showcase the beauty of your lilies.

Thank you so much for participating in MGB :-)

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
