Jane at SmallButCharming hosts these wonderful Flowers in the House parties. I always love to see what Jane has around her charming abode. Jane is in the business of flowers, so it's always very creative and wonderful. It's also fun to get a peek into others' homes as well. Go check it out here.
As if I need any further convincing...I continue to use my chalkboard as a backdrop because I love the color and how colors look against it. I'm planning to paint a few rooms in our new (old, circa 1900) house in this color and maybe one quite a bit darker. The flowers are actually left over from Valentine's Day. The tulips are long gone, but these little guys continue to make me happy. I gathered my collection of books (mostly from Madeline's book shelves) and my amber bottles thrifted at my favorite flea market. Still adore my glassybaby in the color BFF.
Very pretty--the perfect little flowers!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, here's your post and well worth hunting for believe me.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely flowers and things.
And that is one pretty pink glassbaby.

Very pretty mix, I really need to add some colour to my house, roll on pink peony weather.
ReplyDeleteWow, just loving the hot clashy colours against the dark grey - really stunning combination. I always have issues about the background of photos taken in our home - there are beams everywhere in our old barn and it makes for a busy, distracting background - your chalk wall is perfect. x
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so aptly named! I love the glass jar and the wax flower. Beautiful. Nice to meet another flower girl (lady)! Sinead
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! I've got some tulips on our breakfast bar that always bring a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love that Glassybaby color. It's the perfect shade of girly pink. xo
ReplyDeleteI am loving the waxflowers, the blackboard and your composition in general! Love Linda x
ReplyDeletesooo pretty! I can just imagine how amazing the posts in your new old house will be!
ReplyDeleteOoo, wax flower! Jane said these are the flower of the year, and I believe she's right. I'm seeing tons of it all over flower shops in the Bay Area. You are right that the color looks amazing against black. Must get a glassybaby sometime.

ReplyDeleteThe POP of color in the wax flowers and books looks like the beginning of Spring! So cheery!! You have inspired me to add smaller groupings of flowers around my home!
ReplyDeletethe pink against that charcoal wall is just gorgeous. annie i cannot wait to see your new/old home. i bet you can't either. you must be on pins and needles.
ReplyDeleteAnnie,
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so pretty. I still have some bits that I am enjoying from my Valentines' flowers too.
You are so right about the black. It really makes everything pop.

Wow! I used a chalk board yesterday as a backdrop to flower photos, and decided today to paint the walls above the wainscotting in Benjamin Moore's "wet cement". I love the glass!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I love your pictures today!! Your flowers look so pretty with the chalkboard backdrop - and of course your glassybaby looks great in the mix.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Monday was great,
xoxo

I love the pink and orange and amber together. Very pretty vignette!
ReplyDeletelove the glassybaby!! great vignette!
ReplyDeleteI am learning so much on this month's flower tour. I just learned about wax flowers a moment ago, and now Glassybabies. (I do love Google.) And using a slate chalkboard as a photo background, what a clever girl you are. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I'm a new follower...so nice to "meet" you! ♥
ReplyDeleteBest,
Anne
