What says cottage gardening besides a Peony. A peony is the perfect Shabby Chic flower. Loose, pastel petals like a comfortable white couch with a touch of pink to bring a feeling of relaxation and comfort.
We used to travel from the farm near Menlo, Kansas to Hutchinson, Kansas with peonies in a cooler for the cemetery graves on Memorial Day. Even though my Mother had several plants, they never produced enough for all the graves, so we went to the peony farm in Hutchinson for more. I loved going. Walking up and down the rows and rows of peonies, taking in that faint, soft scent of the peonies. Sweet memories.
A vintage vase full of the last of my peonies, from my garden, with a few fallen petals on the foyer table. Sitting in the corner is a piece of salvaged house trim, that I have painted white.
Now to wait until next year for this beautiful flower to bloom again . . . . .
Enjoyed the project?
