Loving the early morning light this time of year...
This antique blue glass jar came from
the cellar of Mr. Flea's grandmother.
It's one of my favorite things...
...the blue color, the bubbles in the old glass, the two seams...
and of course...that it is a family piece.
Have you seen the new, May issue of Romantic Homes yet?
It is a particularly lovely issue...filled with lots of inspiration.
And it was so nice to see that
Carol Spinski's shop Raised In Cotton
has an 8 page feature with wonderful and captivating photos.
The article discusses how she and her two partners
have managed to own a successful business together
while remaining good friends.
Thank you to those who emailed me or left comments about
Romantic Homes' little feature on 52 FLEA
...and to Rachel from French Farmhouse 425
for mentioning me on her post here.
I was delighted when asked if I would send a few photos for the May issue to be included in this section featuring various blogs.
Thank you Romantic Homes for thinking of me!
:)

Have a lovely weekend.. love your shots today.. especially those aqua shutters!! ciao ciao xxxx Julie

congrats to you - and your pictures are lovely! I must have over-pruned my forsythia last fall because I had no yellow bloom this spring - miss that yellow burst of color in my garden!
Lucky you! Congrats on the mag feature. That blue vase is such a beautiful piece. It is even more special, considering it's a family treasure. It looks so pretty with the Forsythia in it too :)

I am absolutely smitten with your fabulous photos... especially those with Gramma's lovely Blue Glass Jar full of such beautiful florals and against a perfectly shabby backdrop! Yes, I have this wonderful copy of Romantic Homes... that lovely round Pillow on the cover is very much like an Antique Pillow I bought this year and just adore.
Have a wonderful weekend... Dawn... The Bohemian
