Clover

Hi Everyone!

As I was walking in my yard I noticed I still had clover growing and how beautiful it was. 

When thinking of fall I tend to think oranges and yellows.  But this was so pretty I wanted to share.




Such a pretty burst of color !



Happy Tea Day !


 


I do have hot water ready to make my cup of tea, but it's not coming near this piece of linen I brought home from Scotland. All I need is a tea stain!








I've used my scissors so much the center screw is loose!







Sigh... basket weave....






Look at the variegation in this one leaf.  

Stunning .. 

And to think that this is just a weed to some.






I'm planing to save these pictures for the dead of winter and put it into a small sampler.






Are we relaxed yet?






Do you think of this as an arrangement? 


When I was a child I  would pick the smallest flowers I could find and put them in jelly jars. It would keep me busy for hours.






Another sigh....  Belleek
I think the china gods made this.






If china could be Fey... this would be it!






 Enjoy.....





























People ask me all the time why I am so happy.  
Am I a cup half full or a cup half empty?


I think no mater what is in your cup you aren't stuck with it. 
So dump it out! 

There is nothing like an empty cup .

Possibilities !
It's yours. All the way. You get to pick what goes into it. 

Fill it up !





Here's to all the empty cups in our lives !

Happy Tea Day !

  11. oooooh beautiful! I love Belleek, and your cup is so gorgeous. The lightness of Belleek is amazing to me, and yes, I agree with you. If there were a china that were fey it would be Belleek! Pairing your cup with the clover is brilliant! Gorgeous!

  13. Jules, lovely post. I love Belleek and definitely think the china goddesses (!!!) had their hand in its making. The smallest flower is often the most beautiful of Mother Nature's gems. Happy Tea Day!

  14. What a fun post! I remember as a child, picking clover and eating it. We (my girlfriends and I) pretended to be cows. LOL!
    Your pics are lovely and weed or no, I like clover for its sweetness and bright purple blooms against a green lawn or brown meadow.
