Sunday Bouquet

This Sunday I cut some glorious peonies and Valerian for my kitchen table bouquet. The fragrance is so sweet! I so love the scent of peonies. I've been patiently waiting for them to bloom so I could bury my nose in them. Even though I like the white ones with the pale pink outer petals.......my favorite color of peony is the bright pink. Have you ever smelled Valerian? It's sweet vanilla scent is another fav of mine.

How exciting to receive e-mails from 2 participants in The Cottage Charm Giveaway 2008 that I had won their drawing!!!! I've never been so lucky!

First I heard from Elizabeth over at Thoughts from an Evil Overlord . You must stop over and see how she came up with this catchy name. She has posted a pic of me there too and I must say she is making me feel like a celebrity! Here is what she is sending my way........

It's a Longaberger basket!!!!! I lOVE Longaberger baskets and have several so this is an awesome addition to my collection. THANKS Elizabeth!!!!!!

Then I heard from Janelle from Coasting Along that I won hers too. WOW! Janelle is sending such pretties too. Even flower seeds with Calendula in the flower mix. How awesome is that!! Also a vintage red and white plate to match my red toile kitchen, flavored tea and more goodies.
