Little Summery Finds








My bouquet of lovely peonies are close to the end. They have lasted longer than I expected in our summer heat.








A little spray of garden roses keeps them company in the dining room. They are propped in a little old pressed glass pitcher that I found for a dollar. And yesterday I found a sweet little embossed plate at Carol V.'s spot at the Antique Co-op in Albuquerque. It set me back three dollars. I love its subtle charm.




I have never seen this mark before so I believe it's quite old.




I'm also featuring a new vintage fifties print tablecloth that I recently found at a thrift store for four dollars. It's in perfect condition. 




And what a lovely pairing for summer!












Lacy white linens seem made for this time of year. So clean and bright. I enjoy seeing them just displayed in piles ready for anything.














And I'm loving these colors that seem barely there. . . .









Especially in the stripe of the tablecloth.









 





I hope you're finding a few cheery things to launch the new season too!

Happy summer hunting, 

Jacqueline

  5. My peonies are all gone because the rains always break them down, I did pick a huge bouquet before our last rain storm
    Your vintage $4 tablecloth was a very good find and looks perfect with your arrangement

    you are still busy making the good finds! Beautiful new tablecloth, the sales here are a dud this year...
    The Peonies are gorgeous, and the garden spray so tender and sweet.
    Piles of linens on the ready, perfect, I am lusting over that ruffled napkin on top:-)
    Thanks for a cheery start to my day :-)

  12. Hi Jacqueline, your bouquet of peonies is gorgeous and the roses are darling. I love the tablecloth and the lace too.
    This year I bought a peony plant, which produced two blooms. I hope to have more next year.

    Have a great day!

  15. Your beautiful peonies in white remind me I have a new white pitcher just the right size for mine -- all I have to do is make sure I'm not bringing in the greater population of ants in my neighborhood! As always, it is simply lovely!

  28. Such beautiful vintage finds, Jacqueline. I always say that a crocheted edging is a crowning glory. That goes for lace, too. I especially like the vintage table cloth...love the color and design.
