Tuesday Evening...A Few More Pics

Hi, there!

 

A few more photos for you tonight...

 

Hope everyone's having a good evening ~ I know, Tuesday's almost over...

I said I wouldn't post any more tuberose photos...



I fibbed.



(Last one ~ this year ~ I promise!)

Remember my vintage chair (Great Aunt Anna's)



with the birdcage and ornaments at Christmas?



(Okay, it was after Christmas...)



I couldn't resist putting a big basket of petunias in it ~



These are Wave Petunias, but they look like the old-fashioned kind,



don't you think?

My supper!



(It was delicious!)

~

I will tell you a secret...

 

I can't make myself clean house unless I rearrange something...

 

If I have a new plant or flowers from the garden to add, all the better!

 

We were having company last week and I had to do something...

 

(In the photo above, I've repurposed a little vintage perfume bottle that

 

belonged to Mr. B's mom...)

 

I just don't want to do housework at all anymore.

 

At ALL...

So, I found "inspiration" in blue and white transferware and Zinnias...



~

 

~




Someone told me they thought Zinnias were such a happy flower,



and they really are!



~

I played with putting vases under some of my cloches...



Full disclosure here; if you keep your AC as low (some say cold)




as I do, they WILL fog...I thought when the flowers acclimated to the inside



temperature, it would stop, but no.



I'll bet I wiped them inside a dozen times before our company got here...



even folded little squares of paper towels



 and put under the edges to get some air in there ~



they still fogged.



I always had that trouble with terrariums, too.



They looked good for a few minutes, though, if I do say so myself!

Isn't this the sweetest little transferware tureen?



It's not a family piece; I got it on eBay quite a few years ago...



Still, I just love it ~



I like to think about the little girl who owned it originally,



maybe serving tea to her dolls...



Can you imagine having the whole set of dishes that went with it?



That would be fabulous..."Awesome Possum" as my girls say...;)



I'm happy with just this little tureen, though.

And finally, a couple more Fairy Houses...

 

"Toad Hollow" has gone to live with my dear friend Elaine in New York.

 

 That's it for this evening...back to painting!



Love,
