(Vintage) Friday Finds

June 7, 2013 by Barb 20 Comments

My “find” for this week would be a teaspoon.

I’m always on the hunt for vintage silverware, it’s so full of character and makes me think of farmhouses and family meals.  It makes me think of summer, and bridal showers, and other special occasions.

But I also found the pretty white teacup at Value Village several years ago. I just loved the green and mauve design, and the slightly worn gold edges.Lilacs-Tea2

After I took all my photos, I sat and drank the lovely green tea and admired my garden. It’s doing ultra well this year. We’ve had a lot of rain and there’s more in the forecast.

Have I mentioned that I love lilacs?

And I love my garden.

Garden-Shed

It’s pretty maintenance free, mostly perennials, with a few annuals sprinkled here and there. Right now the anemones are blooming their hearts out.

It’s such a rush! Every day a different plant starts to flower. I can hardly keep up. It’s heavenly.

    Your Lilacs are amazing! We have Lilacs all around the fence line of our property. The only thing I can’t stand is how shot a period of time they bloom for. Your shots are great and your garden is truly beautiful! Have yourself a great weekend.

    Oh my goodness….. You live in a place I’d love to live… That garden, flowers, and oh my that adorable tea cup. If I was your neighbor, I’d stop by for a cup of tea and a chat….

    Good Day,
    Karla
