Color me Happy!

When spring weather finally arrives it is so refreshing to be outdoors with the woodsy fresh scent of the air filling the senses. My spring flowers happily push their beautiful heads forth from the earth. This miniature spring bouquet fills my soul with delight.

The arrangement created in one of the vintage sugar bowls in my collection.. overflowing with blue scillia, blue grape hyacinth, light and dark purple hyacinth, maroon pasque flower and yellow daffodils. The aroma of the hyacinth fills the room with it's heady scent!

The perfect bouquet with a spot of tea and scone on mismatched china! Don't you think?

Your set awaits in my Etsy shop... xo

April Showers Bring May Flowers...

April is winding down and hopefully those April showers will dissipate to bring glorious warm May days... so looking forward to sunshine and warmth!

The showers are doing their part! Outside today surveying the garden, I was excited to see the willy nilly patches of grape hyacinths. These sweet little flowers are a delight and just the right size for a miniature vase!

Grape hyacinth, a spring bulb, genus Muscari, is derived from the Greek word for musk referencing the fragrant blooms.  Mine have a subtle scent.  Aren't they just so cute? I love the color, a purplish-blue hue and I think they look like tiny little fairy bells!

Another happy sign is the forsythia bush in bloom, hooray!  Not long before my fingers are going to digging in the dirt!  

What are your favorite flowers of spring?
