I'm starting the new week visiting Jane and all the other participants in the monthly Flowers in the House. My offerings are limited by my laziness and also my surprise. This is the first year my hydrangea have 'antiqued' so nicely, probably because of the heat we've had this summer.
And they look great in the new vases I bought from Darby Road, thanks to Steve at An Urban Cottage who took photos when he visited and shared them on his blog. I spied these and fell in love with the color: not to mention they were a PAIR!
I love the mottled finished on this one.
Sadly, the vases 'weep' which I should have guessed, but they look nice on the majolica plates.
Making a succulent bouquet today for a City Hall wedding. Photos tomorrow.

You got those vases? Lucky you.
And everything, particularly "antiqued" hydrangeas look better on majolica.
Lovely flowers. Enjoy your last day.

Those vases are made for antiqued hydrangeas, and so is the majolica. I love your donkey fetish!
I love it when hydrangeas do that - especially on the plant. They always do it better naturally than I can do it in the house. And they are lovely in the vases. I adore that color. Glad you had a nice vacation.
Love the color variation in your hydrangea. So pretty.
I love your hydrangeas (and the Majolica!) so pretty!!!
Lucky, lucky Opal!
Beautifully antiqued hydrangeas and looking gorgeous in those vases.

Those hydrangeas are beautiful. And Opal sounds like a very lucky donkey!
Love the beautiful "antigued" hydrangeas. I can hardly wait for ours to turn. So lovely!
The hydrangeas are splendid in those vases.
Hope your time back at work hasn't been too daunting following your holiday.
I love it when hydrangeas 'antique' like these, they really are the most beautiful colour. Actually I still have some in a vase that antiqued and then dried while still looking full over the summer. Why is it that some hydrangeas do that and others inexplicably wilt and flop? Strange but lovely flowers!
