My little purchase at the flea market this weekend......

a pair of ironstone vases


mixing two flowers of the same color with a similar colored vase is quick and easy....

My Annabelle Hydrangeas are in full bloom........and just the right size with a few Loosestrife


Loosestrife is also called 'gooseneck'.......and rightly so!!



this is how it looked like in my kitchen just this morning.....
waiting for a good friend


hope you are all enjoying the present.......

Don't forget Tracey's wonderful giveaway!!
 
 
 she's giving away, out of the generosity of her sweat heart, some of Maria's items from her soon to be beautiful shop!!  well? what are you waiting for???
