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!

I love them!

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.

Jet said...

Me too! Although I find it the most awkward word to say. Ever.

Neha@ All things beautiful said...

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Veronika said...

my wedding bouquet was peonies :) my fave flower!

Shanna said...

Love! That's the thing about peonies: they're so gorgeous on their own and you need very few to make a bold statement.

Momichka said...

lovely lovely peonies... i've tried countless times to capture their shape with paper petals, but nothing can come close to real-life peonies.

Danielle said...

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!!

Jen of MadeByGirl said...

DANIELLE: Oh! thanks for those tips. I had no idea - I will do that now! :)))

Nadia said...

I love peonies too!!!
But here in Australia I need to wait until November to have a gorgeous bouquet like yours. :)

Amanda Nguyen said...

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 :)

Tea and Cigarettes said...

I LOVE peonies and unfortunately for some reason, they aren't super easy to find here in Paris...maybe I'm not looking hard enough??

All of the women in my family had these in their gardens when I was growing up. They bring back so many happy memories.

Wendy said...

They're beautiful... I had cut a bunch from my garden and displayed them on my kitchen table too! One of my favorites.

Tove said...

Love that flower! I've planted lots of them in our new garden, so hopefully I can pick my own in the future:)

leticia@galsintheknow.blogspot.com/ said...

one of my favorites!
I love your new header as well, very cool!

Val said...

Gorgeousness!

Freckles Chick said...

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?!

Lindsay @ A Walk in the Closet said...

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.

Meli said...

I think peonies are just perma-smile-makers. How could you not? They are so perfectly feminine & dainty.

Sarah Klassen said...

Because they are so so pretty, how can they not make your day? :)

flower envy said...

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.
