Handpainted Hutschenreuther Dessert Plate

My youngest sister and my niece were visiting for a week at the beginning of June, and we did lots of antiquing and thrifting while they were in town.

One of my favorite finds is this handpainted Hutschenreuther dessert plate--I love the pastels and the visible brush strokes.

I'll be posting more treasures over the next few days.

Collage of Hydrangea & Salvia


Collage of Hydrangea & Salvia, originally uploaded by confections.

This grouping of hydrangea and salvia graces my front porch these days. I must admit that I don't have a green thumb (my sisters got that gene), but I do my best to honor the seasons and am a great aficionado of gardens of all kinds.

My sister went to the local farmer's market yesterday for fresh blooms to bless her home. Our youngest sister and her middle daughter are coming for a week-long visit on Friday and we are rolling out the red carpet.HydrangeaSalvia
