I'm so happy to have found another use for my vintage thermos collection! Yesterday Mr. Larson scored me a dozen roses on a post-mother's-day-sale. I used a few vintage thermos' as vases. Simple and so sweet.
(sigh.... happiness!)
speaking of pretty flowers, my grandma brought me a big bouquet of peonies today (from her flower garden)...
Peonies are my favorite flower. What's yours?

peonies are mine too :) That and I really have a thing for foxgloves, however they don't really translate to vases and arrangements well.

Peonies are my favorite too! My mom had them surrounding our garden when I was a kid. They are big and lovely.

So pretty! I love peonies, but I'm also a big fan of lilac, sweet pea, delphinium, hydrangeas, cabbage roses...i'm indecisive!

Peonies are easily my favorite. Klara Kamilla, I wanted them as my wedding flower, too!! But as it was in June, they wouldn't have been at the end of their season. :(
Wild violets are my second favorite flower. They take over a yard like a weed but a beautiful weed!

Gorgeous peonies. I'm waiting for mine to bloom. It's been so cold they are still just buds. The ants haven't helped them out yet. Irises are my favorite flower. I think it has to do with Van Gogh's painting of them. That painting really spurred me to become the illustrator I am today.

Love this idea! It is so sweet and fun! Plus my Husband is a huge fan of the movie "Jerk", and the red thermos makes me think of how funny that movie is!

Peonies, roses, dahlias, and icelandic poppies! All so incredibly beautiful :)

Peonies are beautiful. I love tulips. Especially because they start being sold in January/February and there's not a lot of other nice flowers out then. I used to work in a flower shop so flowers are a little bit of an obsession. Lol.
