{yesterday's golden rays}

. . . there are five bouquets of fresh flowers in the living room, all in pretty antique vases, milk glass, vintage silver and crystal, the room flooded with the enchanting scent of petals and blossoms, and with yesterday's golden rays, spring does not feel nearly as far away . . .

Beautiful photo! I, too, love the scent of fresh flowers. Just yesterday, I purchased a new vase ~ it will be patiently awaiting the arrival of my pink peonies. I'm already dreaming of spring/summer =)

I just saw this picture in the House Beautiful newsletter I received today and said to myself, "How pretty!". I also liked the picture of the vibrant blue hydrangea in the cane covered vase in that slideshow.

I'm loving bright pink flowers with the gloomy weather we're having on the West Coast. This photo is perfectly styled. Hope you have a great day!

Just glanced up at my dark fusia gerber daisies on my desk, and the white roses on my dining table. It's not sunny here in Chicago...it's damn cold and dreary. But inside I have flowers and candles. I'm relishing this time to snuggle down and rest my bones, but have reminders dotted all around. Lovely picture!

Love this photo! Add in a little grey and these are the colors of my bedroom.

Such a pretty image...flowers make such a difference.

We added orange tulips to a few rooms and it seems to brighten the mood instantly!
