~ Flowers And A Pink Vase ~

Yesterday was just a beautiful first day of Spring, and as if right on cue one of my Calla Lillies bloomed...it is just so pretty. I have three more buds ready to open too....plus lots of these
sweeties blooming. Are these Dewdrops...that's what I've always called them. The Dewdrops have been blooming for about a week....I love to cut them and keep fresh little bouquets in the house. Today there is a light rain and I had to rescue my Calla Lilly........
If you look closely I think you may be able to see the rain drops on the leaves. I also cut another small bunch of Dewdrops and put them in.....
this pretty little pink glass, it has the prettiest little flowers etched in it. Carl found it at the flea market today and thought it was a bud vase...it might be a wine flute, but it's going to be my bud vase now.
Enjoy the weekend...hugs, Linda

What a beautiful Calla Lilly! They're one of my favorite flowers...so beautiful. I don't really know if Dewdrops are the correct name for the other pretty flowers but it they're lovely. And you bud vase looks wonderful with the flowers!

Hugs, Andi

How nice of your husband to find that pretty vase for you. You spring flowers are beautiful. We have noooo sign of anything coming out yet. Too cold in Ohio, we still need winter coats. Have a good Sunday.

Can Calla Lillies not stay out in the rain? For us, that is an exotic plant. It is just so beautiful. I am thinking that is a bud vase. The base looks too big for a wine flute unless it is just the camera angle. Boy, oh my it is a beauty! What an eye your husband has. Is it a daffodil etched into it?

Thanks for your comment on the thread box. I had so much fun making it. I am doing fine but have to conjure up all the patience I can as it will be a long wait to see if the treatment will help. I am still have problems breathing and eating at times. I am tired but that is also improving. Thanks for asking!

Hugs ~

GARAGE SALE GAL said...

HI Linda,

When I married my (2nd) hubby I wanted to carry Calla Lillies...but couldn't as our wedding plans were changed. I love yours.
The lady at the sale where I got the magazines said to take more...but hubby was ready to go. I think that's my best deal ever.
Warmly,
Deb :)

Hi Linda - AND Carl!
Just stopping by for a hello and to wish you a happy spring.

Your Cala Lily is gorgeous. These so remind me of my childhood. My mother always grew these and I would take all of the pollen off of each stamen and rub it all over my arms. I know...wierd kid stuff.

LOVE the silhouette pictures. You have quite a collection.
