Little pink blooms…
Sweet little treats have begun appearing on our camellia tree.
I saw the little pink blossoms peeking out the other day
and gathered a few of them up to put them into a little vintage monogrammed silver creamer.
Their delicate petals tattered a bit by the recent snow- but beautiful nonetheless.
Placed with a stack of vintage books
and the bust that I found at a flea market a couple years ago
they bring a little touch of sunshine.
Love the sweet soft pink of these flowers
and seeing the hints of Spring starting to appear!
*Keeping Japan and everyone affected by the terrible earthquake and tsunami
in thoughts and prayers.*

Your camellias are absolutely beautiful Courtney. I took so many pictures of those when I was on vacation in Florida. I wonder if they grow in Minnesota? I'm thinking probably not. Hope you have a nice weekend. Thanks for hosting 🙂
