Yesterday PoetryofObjects made it into Etsy Finds, a daily newsletter of featured finds on Etsy. This item made into Strawberries & Cream, a Treasury of sweet finds. I was thrilled to say the least. Auntemilie, from Vintage Lovers Team let me know about it. Thanks so much Auntemilie! Once again...how do flowers fit into vintage? Well, not only are flowers often used as a motif in vintage objects...you can put a flower into a vintage teacup!
Iris in Yellow Teacup
The flowers are blossoming everywhere. It smells divine as my mother-in-law used to say with her head buried in a flower. I miss her. She was so amazing to be around while we talked about plants. There are reminders of her everywhere here. She gave me so many flowers over the years, she was here. She is gone now...but, not from our hearts. Walking around this land...I see my old plant friends again, like long lost friends not seen for a year. Honeysuckle has gone by mostly, finished blooming...and it smelled...divine here. Honeysuckle...the flower essence for homesickness. You know that sort of melancholy feeling when you miss someone? Well, the flowers and plants will always be there for you...just look and remember to take the time to sit with them. They are as loyal a friend as one could have. So, walk with me for a few steps and see what we see...
Rosa Rugosa....mmmmm.
