Show Off



















Could anything be more beautiful?

This deep, rich, luxurious blue hydrangea has drawn us in... Her dramatic beauty has eclipsed the other blossoms in our garden.

She's such a show off.

Oh' Laura, I'd be showing those show offs off too! Hydrangeas are one of my very favorite flowers and this one is magnificent. So, so pretty next to your blue transfer ware.

Thanks for letting us have a peek. Hugs...Tracy :)

In a prior home I had a blue and white kitchen and blue hydrangeas planted right out side of my double French kitchen doors so that they felt like they were part of the decor. I had blue and white transferware and lots of blue and white chinoiserie...your fabulous Show Offs and wonderful photo styling has be singin the blues for my old kitchen!!! Enjoy every gorgeous bloom!

I love hydrangeas and I think the blue ones are my favorite. I think of happy times spent on Cape Cod and the Vineyard when I see them.
