Nothing says Summer like peonies and fresh strawberries! I've been indulging in our locally grown strawberries for the past week and just can't get enough. We're fortunate to not only have a large Farmer's Market every Saturday but also several farms nearby where I can buy fresh berries during the week. Right now, I'm enjoying them on my cereal for breakfast, with yoghurt at lunch and a dish with cream at dinner - and the occasional indulgence of strawberry shortcake!
My white peonies are just about finished. There's just a few more flowers left but they've been oh so beautiful this year! I placed them in a vintage blue and white Mason pitcher and paired them with some of my blue and white transfer ware. Red, white and blue is such a fresh combination for Summer!
The pitcher has a small chip on the bottom which I think only adds to it's charm!
Were having a garage sale this Saturday. This falls into the "what was I thinking?" category but at the time, it seemed like a good idea. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we'll be able to re-home some of the "stuff" that we no longer want or need. In the meantime, there's a lot of work to be done!
Enjoy this lovely first week of Summer!
You are feeling ambitious! May it be very successful and hope it's fun. Strawberries are not ready here...trouble is we are sooo ready!
ReplyDeleteI hope your berries are ready soon, Vee!
DeleteIf I manage to get rid of a few things, I'll be very happy. :)
Of course I LOVE your photos. I always do! But, I'm especially fond of all things transferware so these photos are extra wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth! I love transfer ware too - especially blue & white! :)
DeleteThese photographs are so beautiful, Lynda, and truly the picture of summer. We too are enjoying strawberries in "a million" different ways. Our local strawberries just arrived, but they are not here for long, so we have to take advantage of every opportunity to incorporate strawberries into something. I prefer the shortcake, with lot and lots of whipped cream!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the very best of luck with your garage sale. Do let us know how it goes! :-)
Happy day to you, my friend. xo.
Thank you, Lisa! I'll be sure to let you know if we manage to get rid of some stuff Saturday! Enjoy your berries! xo
