The First Dahlias + A Gift

Flower Friday the first dahlias of the season, housed in two special vessels. I have written about this often, but little glasses and goblets scattered around your house with a flower in them can bring little hits of happiness from room to room. It is such an easy way to get a bit of visual sunshine just about anywhere the glass and bloom will fit. Here, in the front sunporch at Hawthorne on a round table for guests to enjoy when they arrive. The glasses were gifts from our friend Jocie, the owner of Red Chair in Hudson. I love that when she spots a solo green glass she might think of us. That is one of the best thing about gifts—in return, you think of the giver when you glance at the object around your house. The dahlias from my beloved Cedar Farm that I picked up at the Saturday farmers market. That is the thing about what you have in your home, the pieces and blooms should all have meaning and a story. Layer after layer of experiences & memories everywhere the eye lands. Everyone enjoy the last weekend of Spring! X, TKW
