If you are going to take photos of a vase in natural light in an East-facing room, you need to not wait until 7pm. Actually, I wasn’t going to do a vase at all today, as last week’s vases are still looking full of life after being freshened up for the Brazilian’s birthday party this weekend, but then I found this pewter tankard on a charity shop raid earlier today, and we had no flowers in the bedroom, so off I went into the garden with my scissors and came back with all sorts of lovely white flowers, and more of those cute little cornflower buttons. Anyway, there are no close-ups available as I had to dig the tripod out and use a glacial film speed. However, I’ll try and take a few more photos tomorrow morning and put them on my Instagram feed.
In a Vase on Monday is hosted by the vibrant Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
Nice tankard and flask! I like the flowers as well. Very summery and cheerful.
Thank you Shrub Queen… I love having cheerful flowers in the bedroom.
Great find – your arrangement shows it off nicely!
Thanks Eliza… we have a multitude of charity shops on a nearby street and they are such a good source of vases, if you can see past the less pretty things!
The thrill of the hunt! 😉
The pewter tankard really complements the colours – understated perhaps, rather than subdued. Cool and calming too – thanks for sharing
Thanks Cathy. Glad I got it in just in time. I nearly left it for next week.
Beautiful! And I love the title! 😉
Thanks Cathy!
Looks really fresh. Like the title
Thank you Dorris.
Lovely!
Thank you Anca
