One More Look

I'm still enjoying my little bouquet and thought you'd like to see
what is surrounding it. I got the lamp last week while visiting my
sister and doing a little shopping. It's tin and handpainted.
It's a nice change on my old table. The watercolor was actually
painted by said Willow almost 2o years ago for my birthday.
But then, you already knew she was talented. :)
One thing that never changes is the candy dish. It has become
a constant by the front door. Want a red gumdrop?
Don't columbine look like little bonnets? The blue ones
are in their third season here and spreading nicely.

    YOur vignette is just gorgeous. I love all the items the way you've arranged them. Each is interesting on it's on, but so lovely together. Your new lamp is absolutely stunning. Love it. Hugs, Marty

    I have always loved wild, meadow flowers. They remind me of my childhood.
    The lamp is beautiful and I sure would love a gumdrop, please.;) xo

    Still love it. I actually never knew there was a flower called columbine. I just didn't want to say that on the first post. Now that you did another one I'm confessing.

    It all goes together perfectly! The painting is exquisite, I noticed it yesterday and the lamp is "vintage delish"!

    I especially LOVE the blue Columbine...so delicate and feminine.

    The lamp is amazing! I like the water color too...Willow is multi-talented as is her sister Betsy!!

    As for the gumdrops...they look very enticing! I would have to put candy that I DO NOT LIKE in my candy dish or I would pick one up at each passing!! HOW I WISH I did not like sweets!
