I collect Barbara Eigan vases. This one has a really chunky floral motif in bulge-y relief. My garden flowers are mint, peonies and sweet william.

My garden’s bounty this week. I hope to show you more as the season goes on. I’m partial to vivid colors, particularly hot reds and yellowy greens. Let this be color inspiration for you.

Sweet william and pink cornflower and spearmint. Notice the Chilewich mat.

Spent magenta peonies

Hydrangea and party girl rose

Sidalcea and I forget what the yellow thing is:

A stationery company is interested in playing with these for some pretty products. I am a huge fan of Diane’s brush and ink work. She’s a major gardener, so this flows easily from her hands. I hope we’ll see more of this from Diane soon.
