Peonies are so gorgeous. Your pink ones are beautiful! I had ivory peonies as my bridal bouquet. I've been treating myself to a bunch each time I go to Trader Joes.
They are the princess of flowers! I just posted on them as well: http://myamericanhouse.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/the-look-and-taste-of-summer/ I am a new follower/reader of your blog and couldn't be more happy! You have such a charmingly eclectic and winning style. All the best!
Since you're an Etsy seller too, have you followed the discussion about the new regional filters, making all of us LESS visible to each other?? :( Most people still don't know about this huge change. Please check my blog post: http://blog.afiori.com/2011/06/ripped-off-by-etsy-lurad-av-etsycom.html There are links to the forum discussion as well. As many as possible need to know about this, especially those whose sales have dropped so much lately while we haven't even been informed why.
Love peonies too..they are a beautiful shade of pink. Having fresh flowers in the home always make me smile ; ) Hope you are having a great week so far lovely x
Im a florist, peonies are my faaavorite!! if you take the leaves off the stems and out the of the water they will last much longer!! leaves grow bacteria! and add a drop of bleach-itll make them last longer!!
I love peonies! My first "grown up" perfume smelled of peonies, and was bought for me by my aunty (who has since passed). I even thought about getting a peony tattoo :)
I know Meg Ryan once said that daisies are the happiest flower but nothing brings a smile to my face like peonies. Even just one peony bloom gets me grinning. Don't they just MAKE a room?!
I love Kate Spade. Like you said, it's just so happy! They're girly but not fussy. Chic but not trendy. Down to earth yet still classy and feminine. The wallet your friend bought you is so cute and very quintessential Kate!
As for working from home, I would absolutely LOVE to. We actually had a meeting at work request to discuss the potential of this. It'll probably be years in the making but I get excited just thinking about it! It doesn't work for everyone, tho.
Flowers are the most beautiful way to express feelings to your loved ones, their perfume and color brings a sense of freshness and beauty in the life. The gifts presented in the form of flowers or bouquets are the best gifts ever given to someone.

That is my favorite flower! looks beautiful

ReplyDeleteLove! That's the thing about peonies: they're so gorgeous on their own and you need very few to make a bold statement.
ReplyDeletelovely lovely peonies... i've tried countless times to capture their shape with paper petals, but nothing can come close to real-life peonies.

I think peonies are just perma-smile-makers. How could you not? They are so perfectly feminine & dainty.
ReplyDeleteBecause they are so so pretty, how can they not make your day? :)
