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

Such charming finds at such great prices! Peonies are so beautiful and the scent is just heaven. Mine have been done for about 2 weeks..too short they are here!
ReplyDeleteOh your Peonies are so pretty! TJ's is selling them this year, but I so wish I could grow my own.
ReplyDeletePretty pink flowers in a white pitcher - perfection!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I so envy you your peonies! AND that gorgeous little plate. I need to go shopping with you, you seem to have the knack of finding great "finds."

ReplyDeleteMy 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
Hi J,
ReplyDeleteyou 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 :-)
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline, your bouquet of peonies is gorgeous and the roses are darling. I love the tablecloth and the lace too.
ReplyDeleteThis year I bought a peony plant, which produced two blooms. I hope to have more next year.
Have a great day!
Wonderful finds as always, Jacqueline and pretty blooms! I can hardly wait for peonies to open and reveal their beautiful flowers again here in Canada... Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog; really appreciate your visits.
ReplyDeletelovely..and so cheerful! "Merci" for sharing.....
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
ReplyDeletePerfectly perfect pink....
ReplyDeleteMy Peonies are just about to burst...
Cheers!
