PANSY TIME

What's not to love about pansies? And Springtime is when they excel and burst forth with color!  Here in Colorado they bloom all summer because of our cool nights.  I love them and so do you! 


 Soon we will be able to have tea in our gardens and friends over. It is such fun...invite some friends over and serve a few tea treats.  Everyone loves it!




Of course this is actually a
coffee set above.




I have always been drawn to pansy doilies and hankies.  I really don't know a thing about crocheting but think it is so pretty. I set up a little pansy themed display this morning on a side table.

There  is a  large collection of dessert plates that are displayed on the walls of our home....

I am especially drawn to mixing and matching things.  I get bored quickly with same-same.


Late note:  many items on this post were later sold at my shop!

  6. I adore pansies. The first flowers I ever planted were pansies. When I was very young my Grandfather bought me a package of seeds and I had a little flower bed all my own of just pansies.

  7. I love your pansy things -- pansies are a passion of mine, but alas, I own nothing pansy (for which my husband is probably grateful LOL!) I especially am fond of the linens -- I don't remember seeing anything like that!
