Peonies

My peonies are doing well this year,

despite the fact that we 

haven't hand a lot of rain.

I picked some to enjoy their beauty and scent.

I also picked some and 

put them in large winejugs.

I put a curtain to block out some sun.

The other curtain panel,

 I put on the table as a tablecloth

in my gazebo.

Happy Summer everyone!

Thanks for your visit xo.

Lilacs In A Teapot

The Lilacs are blooming.

It smells so good here.

I picked some lilacs to bring inside,
and used an old teapot for a vase.

I added other Spring china 

to my vignette theme.

Maytime Apple Blossoms ~ Shelley creamer and sugar.

Gorgeous?

Wild violets on this cup and saucer. 

Pretty saucer.

Markings on the bottom

 of the cup and saucer.

Teapot Lid.

There are no marking

 on this Victorian teapot.

 

This teapot belonged to St. Anne Church
 and has been used a lot over
 the years serving tea at a church functions.
The spout got broken and it was put in
a rummage sale. 
I bought it to use as a vase.

If it is turned as below,

the broken spout does not show.

Thanks for your visit xo.
