Flower Market

This week we spent a few days in Vancouver, British Columbia. We drove to Seattle for a day and visited Pike Place Market. I just loved the beautiful bouquets and cut flowers! They were also reasonably priced, but since we were cross-border shopping, we couldn’t bring the real thing home, so I took lots of photos to enjoy in the coming days when snow flies… 063

Even though these aren't my flowers. I am taking the liberty of flaunting them over at Tootsies anyway.

Oh, Millie... those are magnificent! I love these, and I love every picture. They have some combinations that I wouldn't have thought of which makes me love them more.

A summer ago, I was in charge of the flower arranements for my MIL's 80th which I shared in a post that's up on my blog. If you get a chance, drop by to see them. I directed the florist in another city, and I think he did a very good job. We didn't have peonies (which I wanted) so he used full blown roses which worked well in their place. But I am a peony girl!

These flowers, though, are just amazing. I'm so glad you got their pictures. You always have such gorgeous flowers on your blog which makes it a pleasure to visit you.

XO,

Sheila :-)

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
