I have a fondness for yellow roses. All roses, but especially yellow roses. So if I am lucky enough to find them, I will buy them – to feed the soul, as they say. I am also a lover of glassware, especially if it is pressed glass. I usually can only afford the recently made glass , but much of that is actually quite nice. I love my spooner, which has a nice woodsy pattern on it, acorns and oak leaves, I believe.
In the picture below is my pitcher and tumbler set, which is made by Fenton or Mosser, the color bing iridescent black amethyst, in the Dahlia pattern. There are also two china vases by Franz, with purple dragonflies. They all remind me of a garden in full bloom, and also the gentle beauty of a garden meadow.
I like to put together these little vignettes? or still lifes? throughout my home, to remind me always of the summer season, even though the snow is falling gently outside. I have no white rooms in my home, because it just seems much too sterile and harsh. And there are no pictures depicting winter either. However, I am not a traveller to warmer climates in the winter - I am like Mole, enjoying the cosiness of my home, dreaming, until spring comes round again.
