Cottage Style Party #45

I must admit, after last weeks mini-meltdown,

I started this weeks post right away.

I would not be caught off guard by another ladder...ha!

And then I got distracted....

...but in a good way!

Let's chat about something near and dear to my heart.

That's right, 

it's 

P E O N Y      W E E K

Woot!

I thought I had another week or two before these 

*luscious blooms* 

would grace my garden, but no, they started blooming this week!

Before I could even take a few pics of the bushes,

I picked a bouquet!

One thing lead to another and I just had to freshen up my mantle.


Make it peony ready, that is.

I added some things, took away some things, then added a new clock.

 I bought it for another room, but, well, you know how it goes!

Mantle with peonies...

and

...without.

I'm loving it with peonies right now but I realize their time is short lived.

Some of these are not even open all the way yet.

Can you smell that yummy fragrance?

mmmm...

Depending on the weather *PEONY WEEK* may

stretch into 2 weeks...

if we are lucky!

Whats blooming at your cottage?
