last year when we added onto the back flower bed, i planted a tiny little lilac bush. i think it’s called a chinese lilac…it’s a bit smaller and a little more restrained than a traditional lilac. don’t get me wrong – there is nothing more heavenly than an exuberantly blooming lilac, but this guy was a better choice for my garden and smaller space.
my baby lilac is just now blooming and oh. my. gosh. the color combination between the pale lavender and sagey green. and just the sweetest, most delicate scent.
heaven.
and i loved it so much, i just had to bring a few little springs inside where i could enjoy it up close.
tripp and i were remarking on our walk over the weekend at what an incredibly beautiful spring we are having. and yeah…spring is always beautiful. but we have been so blessed with good rain – seems like the past few years have been so dry – and everything is so lush and green and full…just like my heart these days.
i sincerely hope that spring is finding its way to your neck of the woods! happy tuesday sweet friends! xoxo
Just gorgeous Kelly
Oh, my, lilacs! I miss them so. Thank you for sharing these, Kelly – so lovely!
On top of everything else, I just love how your calligraphy adds to your still lifes – such a peaceful mood. So glad you are happy!
Your lilacs are beautiful! Our lilacs are not blooming yet here in Ohio. It is warming up so hopefully soon…
That really is a delightful little lilac! We’re having a delightful spring, too, and ample rain. In fact … are you ready for this? Today we didn’t have a snow day … we had a rain day! Yup! Some county roads were flooded and buses couldn’t travel them so no school. As I troll the blogs, Campbell sits behind me giggling at the video she is watching. I wish you could hear her! So, yes, like you, I’m expecting a lot more from spring this year! xo
Always enjoy your styling, such beautiful images! And lilacs, how can you go wrong?! I really like that variety, the color is more intense.
The beautiful calligraphy on the note card and the lilacs in the glass jar with twine – so simple yet so inviting.
Beautiful! I don’t have a lilac bush, but my mom does. Maybe I should snip a few flowers and bring them in!
