The first sweet violets of spring have appeared...
This little paper soap box came from the Marche aux Puces de Saint Quen-Porte de Clignancourt in Paris.... I bought it when we were there eleven years ago...
My Nana had lovely hankies like this one...
...I find these irresistible at the flea market!

I love violets too! I just wish I could find out where I could get the scented ones for my garden! Till then, I will settle for chowards Violet Candies!
I love violets! Earlier today I posted a picture of the wild ones growing in my yard! I love the picture of the violets in the glass vase with the cotton lace tied around it. So simple and so pretty!
Such a lovely shade of purple!!

My Grandma always had a hankie up her dress sleeve! I have a collection of them. Love the vintage soap box and your violets are so sweet. Mine will be blooming soon...things bloom later here in Mn!

Purple is my second fav color and I so love seeing it in all the flowers around my yard too. Violets are just so sweet and dainty. I hope you have a fantastical weekend!
I love violets too. I'm heading out now to pick some from my yard; your photos inspired me!
Violets have to be the prettiest and daintiest flower. I have some of my grandmother's china that have violets on them and really treasure them.
I love the wild violets sprinkled throughout the lawn ~ I pick a few and use an egg cup as a vase :-) Your violet pictures are so pretty.
Beautiful photos! I love violets in the spring time.
Blessings~
I just meandered out into the woods around our cabin this week and picked a bouquet of purple violets. I also found some pristine white ones, yellow ones and a very pale lavender variety. We are so blessed to have these in abundance in our woods. They are also bittersweet reminders of my precious Mother who had oodles of them in her yard and would always have me a fresh little bouquet of them picked for me when I went over to her house.
violets are special! do you know how to take some petals off a violet and expose a lady sitting and soaking her feet in a bowl? i love showing kids this. Bestest,Denise i wish i could recall who told that to me as a child.
Gorgeous - I have always adored violets! They grew near my parents house and your post brought back memories of picking tiny bouquets for my mother as a child! Lovely...xo Terri
