A Wealth Of Hydrangeas

Years ago I bought a flower carrier.

For the car

From Smith and Hawken, I'm thinking

It's copper

And has a reservoir for water

and a big bottom so it won't tip in the car.

It spends three seasons on the porch

Where it's easy to grab

If I'm off on a flower adventure

Whether a roadside pick

Or a supermarket run

It ensures the flowers come home fresh!

The latest flowers

Not picked from the roadside

Put picked from Trader Joe's

Snow white ones

And creamy pale blue ones

The white ones in a blue and white Asian vase in the living room

I adore white flowers in the house

And when I buy flowers I often select white ones

They seem to "radiate"!

The vase on an end table in the living room

Next to one of the wing chairs.

The creamy blue and white bouquet

was put in the old blue and white pitcher

For the breakfast room table

Where I created an arrangement

That pays homage to friend Joan at For The Love Of A House

I adored the silver tray full of "things" in her kitchen

I had all of the elements and so created my own.

Silver tray holding a blue and white pitcher of flowers,

two celery vases -- one with vases and one with forks

A small creamer filled with horn handled fruit knives and teaspoons

Salt and pepper in two blue and white salt cellars.

There are hydrangeas blooming outside as well.

Which is why there is a "wealth" of hydrangeas at Linderhof

We love hydrangea time.

Both inside and out!
