Yes, there are an armload of pretty peonies
laying oh so perfectly on this farmhouse bench
that is otherwise known as my coffee table…
and I am in love with it.
I have no shame and make no excuses for believing that the softness of peonies
laying on an old chipping rustic bench is perfection all in itself.
Seriously, my absolute favorite juxtaposition of rustic and elegant.
Of course, the peonies didn’t stay this way- they were simply there for a photo
and then they went right back inside their vase.
Which is not really a vase, but this amazing little bit of goodness.
A vintage inspired trophy.
I have been a little bit obsessed with vintage trophies for awhile now
and have been in search of them everywhere- from at High Point Market
to flea markets to antique shops to thrift stores and everywhere in between.
This one is not vintage- just vintage inspired- but let’s just say that isn’t slowing down the love.
From the engraving to those big handles
to the style and to the sheer size of it- which is HUGE.
I instantly thought about 15 different places that I could put it
and I might have carted it around the house a bit playing with it and
I can hardly wait to show you where it ended up.
It is pretty easy to see why I have been crushing on this trophy this week
which makes it pretty perfect for sharing for my Friday Crush.
Happy Weekend everyone!

A stunning combination – peonies and the trophy. I will keep an eye out for discarded trophies now as this one makes a beautiful vase.

beautiful as usual but why don't your peonies have ants all over them like mine? I live in Alabama where ants and sweet tea go hand in hand also I once googled about the ants and peonies they say they have to have ants roaming nearby as they eat off the sappish topping on the flowers so they will open have you ever heard of this?
Courtney says
These are from the market- so, they must clean them off ahead of time. And yes, Ants do something to the flowers to help them to bloom.
