~ Pretty Peonies ~


Hi friends! :)
I thought I would share with you a few photos of some pretty pink peonies I bought at the market today


Peonies are one of my favourite flowers



I love the touch of colour they add to my white decor
This white enamel pitcher is from IKEA and I LOVE using it for fresh flowers :)



Even my little Claire wanted to check out the pretty peonies! ;)


~ I hope you had a wonderful weekend friends ~
Hugs,
Rachel

Your photos always make me smile! They are so lovely. The pitcher is perfect for the peonies. They don't grow here in the desert so I really enjoy seeing photos of them. I love your kitty!

Bonjour Rachel & Claire - thank you for sharing the delights of your home in this post.

Will keep my eye open for a similar Ikea pitcher - truly classic lines and you're so right, perfect for displaying long stemmed flowers.

Happy day!

I love your peonies. Mine have a ways to go, they won't be blooming for another 2 or 3 weeks. When my peonies bloom it always rains!!!!
Have a day!
Chris :o)

Your peonies are gorgeous! Mine are almost done blooming and I will have to wait a whole year to see them again. I love the white pitcher, I have three filled with my peonies right now!

Rachel they look gorgeous!
I love peonies too and are my favourite bloom!
They have a softness, and gentleness that I adore.
I have an enamel white pitcher from Ikea too..they were sold out of the bigger one, so I bought the smaller one (medium size) and I love it too!
I have dried lavender in mine.
Claire does look like she is admiring them for sure...can't say I blame her! :)
Enjoy!!
