THE VIOLETS RETURN

To me nothing says springtime better than violets.  They aren't even coming up yet here in Colorado but I know they will soon.





           I seem to have a lots of violets
 around my house....






I am always drawn to violet linens....
can't you just smell them?



These little plates
with flowers pockets
were popular in the 1950's.





Everything in Colorado is quite brown but I am watering and I see signs of some bulbs popping out.....that makes my heart sing.

    Hi Bernideen and happy spring!
    I love all your violets, especially the teapots. Their scent is rather heavenly when they bloom and I don't mind the wild variety that many gardeners think of as weeds.

    Hi Bernideen!
    This is a beautiful post. I wanted to tell you since I wasn't here this time last year. (no blog). I love violets and the little creamer with the violet handle is just too precious.
