Something so wonderfully sweet just happened. Peggy brought some of her pretty peonies from Windy Hill Farm in to me at the office.
And in perfect Peggy form, they were nestled in a chipped Chicken Broth Can that she had painted a lovely shade of Robin's Egg Blue. She must have painted it long ago because as it sits now, there are lovely worn spots of the silver can peaking through in a random pattern that only a well worn vase can show. She uses these cans to display the pretty blooms in her roadside stand.
The funny thing is that she apologized for the worn can, and was surprised when I asked her if it would be okay for me to keep the peonies in the can as a vase...she had been intending to freshly paint it!...oh silly Peggy, the charm is extended in the vase BECAUSE of the worn spots :)
So the flowers are now gracing my counter ledge and I am celebrating my sweet friend who would bring over flowers for no reason...and my soul is refreshed, just by gazing at them.
