Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! This week I'm sharing some flowers from my garden that I arranged in one of my most favorite purchases! I bought this old pitcher on eBay a few years ago. It was a splurge for me back then, I think I paid $80 for it but I really love it!
I really prefer garden flowers arranged not so perfectly over flowers from the florist!
My roses and hydrangeas are blooming right now. I love the peachy, pinks and blues mixed together!
I also have an update on the wrens that have built a nest behind the angel's head in my garden....
the eggs have hatched. We can't see them because the nest is tucked into the angel's head but we see the parents going in there with food all day long! They feed their babies insects and sometimes it is so disgusting. We see spiders, moths, earwigs and worms hanging from their beaks! The babies start chirping as soon as the parents come into the nest! I'm really amazed at how much they feed them, it's constant all day long! One of the parents, I'm not sure if it's the male or female, will go in there if we are outside, the other parent will wait until we leave. I can't wait to see the babies when they are finally ready to come out! I'll keep you updated!

Your flowers are very beautiful Cindy. It's easy to see how much you love your garden. I bet the birds are fun to watch too.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy ~ what a beautiful arrangement in such a gorgeous pitcher! I love the softness and the unstructured elegance of it all. Thanks for always inspiring me!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Hello Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour flower arrangement is gorgeous - I just love the combination of pink and blue! I have a House Wren with a nest in the door pocket on the front door - I startled her one day and she made such a fuss! I can't wait for the babies to hatch! Love this time of the year - I appreciate you being a gracious hostess,
Kathy
I have splurged like that on ebay before too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous arrangement. I can't believe those flowers came from your garden. Just magnificent.

Oh-what gorgeous photos. I think an area cat got our baby birds that were right outside our window. So sad! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat an exquisite pitcher and your flowers are gorgeous! Absolutely breathtaking. How fun to have little birdies at your door. They are so much fun to watch. Thank you for hosting this lovely party. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Cindy! XO, Aimee
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I was able to help identify the bird! We have wrens in our yard all the time and they are such tiny little things!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your hydrangeas! I planted a bush about 3 years ago and it has yet to produce a single flower! Your photos and vase are gorgeous... Donna
Cindy, I once had a little wren do a dance for me (or so I thought) on our front porch. I finally figured out she had a nest in the flower basket there and was probably trying to chase me away. lol! They are so little and CUTE. So cool that they are nesting in your angel head!

Cindy, Thanks so much for hosting and showing us your gorgeous flowers. I prefer garden flowers to those from the florist, etc. too. and I can see why you fell in love with the pitcher...it's perfectly romantic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy for hosting! Little Bit
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to watch the little birds -- one day they will fly away. Your pitcher and flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely flowers, Cindy...and in such a beautiful pitcher! Thanks for hosting!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeletethank you for hosting Cindy! Love your flowers xox
ReplyDeleteCindy, I love hearing about the birds at your place. The mocking birds were gathering twigs for their nest at our place too. They always keep an eye on us as we come and go past the nest. So fun to watch. Thank you so much for hosting the party.

Gorgeous flowers!! Are roses are starting bloom their brilliance!! Though our hydrangea plants are still at the leaf stage. How wonderful for you, that they are blooming together. Thank you for hosting such a fabulous party!! xo HHL
ReplyDeleteYour arrangement was absolutely beautiful!!! I love your splurge vase, it was a good purchase. Thanks for hosting, Laura
ReplyDeleteOh cindy, so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a glimpse of the wrens soon, too!
Thanks for hosting a wonderful linky party!!
Your flowers and vase are so pretty. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteGosh...your flowers from your yard are just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them with us. I hope you have better luck with seeing the baby birds before they leave the nest than I did. We had watched eggs in a low easily-viewed nest for weeks then babies came and they got bigger. One day I looked in the nest and saw their big eyes looking at me...a few minutes later I looked again and they had flown the nest and never came back. We saw the mother showing them how to feed themselves for a few days then they left the yard too.
ReplyDeleteYour arrangement was absolutely beautiful!!! I love your splurge vase, it was a good purchase. Thanks for hosting, Laura
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers in that gorgeous pitcher/vase. I like how you arranged the flowers... Connie
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear about the eggs hatching. Your bouquet is just stunning. So beautiful, it really takes my breath away. Thank you for hosting your wonderful party.
ReplyDeleteHi, what a beautiful bouquet of flowers, our hydrangeas aren't anywhere near ready yet. About four roses, peonies, and Columbine is the limit so far, but everything is green and growing.
ReplyDeleteLast Wednesday I showed an ornamental birdhouse we have and last year and this, the wrens moved in, it has the tiniest hole. There is never a mess and they don't worry about us being there, they fly in over our head. If you get a chance check us out.

Hiya Cindy,
ReplyDeleteLove your vase. I prefer the casual lose flower arrangements also, especially roses. My roses have been so generous with blooms this year, I'm cutting and bringing them in every other day. : ) I just found a beautiful antique vase while on vacation. It has a unique shape and a rose set on the front of it. It will be in my weekend post with a blue and white victorian set I also found! Have a great weekend and thanks for hosting. : )

ReplyDeleteI love that pitcher of flowers. I think you still got a good deal at $80,it is gorgeous. I can see why you splurged. I am so looking forward to seeing the babes. xx
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so beautiful Cindy, you know I paint huge canvases in oils of flowers. If you didn't know you can see them on my "paintings" page tab on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI would love a high res image of the first image in your collage, I may be able to do a painting of it.
I am not painting at the moment because my mum has moved in with me (she has terminal cancer) but feel inspired today by your photos and another one of your linkys.
Thank you.

These flowers and homes are SOO gorgeous. I just loved looking at them and all the different things you have done to your houses. It is so pretty. I have had an obsession of looking at luxury homes lately, of course ones I can't afford, but it makes me feel as though I get a little piece of it by looking at pictures of them all. Can you tell me where I could find more photos of your flower arrangements or luxury homes decorating?
