Peonies

I have been quite literally dreaming of peonies, my favorite flower, and seeing bunches of them at Trader Joe’s and other grocery stores this past weekend.  I didn’t buy any since we were traveling, so cross your fingers for me that there are still at least a few handfuls left at my local store this evening! I’m hoping to have some in every room, and am really liking the idea of spreading them out in bud vases like this. Charming, no?

    These are totally adorable. I love them against the white wall, here, too.

    My favorite!!! I have them in my yard but their blooming season is so very short – what a luxurious idea to have them for the holidays!

    Peonies are my absolute favorite. Had them everywhere for my wedding.

    As are bud vases, I have a large collection :)

    Ah peony love…. thank you for bringing them into my life in the midst of a very cold November London. It will be a long time until I get to see real peonies again…

    They are lovely. My favourite flower….well….depending on the season. There are always daffodils…and hydrangeas….and roses….

    Bud vases and peonies make me incredibly happy.
