Which of these would be my find? Is it the gorgeous peonies? the white vase? the blue table?
all of the above?
makes me feel fine
sweet days of summer
the (peony’s) in bloom.
July is dressed up and playing her tune.
sorry, I just couldn’t help it… it popped into my head, and now it’s going to be there all day…
Yesterday, I dragged home a table … I didn’t go looking for it (specifically) but there it was, sitting in a corner, all chippy and blue. I just knew I needed it.
Images of tea parties on the lawn, a table laden with flowers, and books, and candles, and food, and great light, filled me with excitement. A Somerset Life. A dream of mine.
But as soon as it was tucked safely in the back of my vehicle, the doubt began. It wasn’t about the money so much as the “uh, oh… do I really need to add another piece of junque to my yard? Well, probably not … but there she is.
As soon as I set the bouquet of peonies on it, I felt reassured.
It’s a harmless pastime, this hunting for treasures, dreaming of photo shoots and trying to capture, express, and share something that’s in my mind’s eye. And honestly, I’m blessed and thankful to have “found” it at this time in my life.
I’m sharing this today over at “Friday Finds” at Kim Klassen dot com
Such a beautiful table, Barb, lovely in blue !
Your peonies in the white vase look great on it !
Lots of rain here … waiting for those sweet days of summer :-)
Nice weekend,
Sylvia
anything that sparks your creativity and love of beauty is not a bad obsession. :)
Oh you can never have enough goodies Barb… Love the table …
I would have brought that table home too! What a great find!
Beautiful!!! i so wish I had those in my yard!!! Living in the desert, you don’t get the rich blooms. My spring roses are great, my fall roses are great… And that’s about it. Really enjoyed looking at these!!! Love that table too!!!
I think the table is perfect and I would have done the same thing.
Wow, the table is perfect and fantastic! Would love one myself. Your peonies are so pretty. Ours have been gone for almost two months now. Great Friday Finds!
A great find for sure! You peonies look beautiful, mine are just about done and didn’t even get to pick one bunch! We had lots of rain for a bid and they were all down on the ground. Oh well, I guess we’ll have to wait for next year! Right now the mosquitoes are so bad here it is about impossible to go out and enjoy anything! :( Thanks for sharing these lovely finds.
Lucky you to still have peonies to photograph, these are so lovely with lovely soft light enveloping them. Lovely find in the table.
yes, it is hard to resist those great finds, even if we have one too many already. I think I may go to our flea market on Sunday, so maybe I’ll come across a sweet find myself. Beautiful images, Barb
woow… lovely shoots… przepięknie… :))
Just love peonies!
I think it’s perfect! It reminds me of the baking table we have that is currently sitting in the basement…now you’ve got me thinking of bringing it up…but where to put it??
