Please don't eat the daisies...

I am craving spring. I thought I might hasten its arrival (at least in my mind) with some daisies from the grocery store.


Is anything more charming than cut flowers in vintage milk glass vases? With any luck, I hoped they would last at least a week.


Luck just ran out.

Baby, you can sniff and admire them to your heart's content, but...

...Please Don't Eat The Daisies!

I actually removed the daisies right after taking these photos because I couldn't remember if they were poisonous to cats or not. So I checked this ASPCA Toxic/Non-Toxic plant list and was horrified to find that daisies are toxic to cats. Needless to say, the daisies are gone.

We are going to hit the 50's and 60's this weekend in New England. Finally. I hope you all enjoy glorious weekends!

I'm linking up to Cindy's (My Romantic Home) Show & Tell Friday. Be sure to pop on over to see Cindy's beautiful table settings and to visit everyone else participating in Show & Tell this week!

Tablecloths...

"Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

It was another warm day here in New England... a day for using tablecloths that celebrate the arrival of spring! Many of us in the colder climates get giddy with excitement at days like this... that delightful period between the harsh blast of winter and the stick-to-the-sheets humidity of summer. For me, spring is pure bliss.

A while back I shared my mini-collection of vintage wastebaskets. I also have a small collection of tablecloths (vintage is a plus, but any pretty floral tablecloth is sure to catch my eye). From time to time, I'll share photos of some of my favorites, like this one with garlands of pink roses and daisies on a robin's egg blue background.

Wishing you all a blissful spring day...

Spring ... where are you??

"I love daisies. They're so friendly. Don't you think that daisies are the friendliest flower?"

Sunday was a cold, grey, dreary day around here... not at all spring-like. So while at the grocery store, I treated myself to a little pick-me-up bouquet of daisies. Don't they look sweet in the thrift store vase I picked up a few years ago? Their yellow centers look like the sun shining and they immediately cheered up the whole room!

Hoping that wherever you are, you're enjoying beautiful spring weather. But if not, a bouquet of daisies can be bought for a mere pittance at your local grocery store...
