Did I tell you I planted my first Peonies this year?
Although it only has two blooms, it has been one of the
highlights of my week. And though these are one of my
favourite flowers, I had never smelled a Peony before.
Needless to say, I was immediately under a spell when I did.
With the sun shining beautifully through our windows and the gorgeous
smell of peonies filling our home, I thought it a perfect time to
set a sweet table for two with my new Aliza Teal pattern from MIKASA.
When the kind folks from MIKASA contacted me
and asked if I would like to receive one of their
beautiful amazing products, I of course said YES!
Can you guess why I chose the gorgeous Aliza Teal pattern?
It’s as if it had been painted just for me…
I love the easy and casual feel of the plates, especially for
this time of year. But it can also be used for a more formal setting.
Don’t they look dreamy against the gorgeous Peonies?
This mug has already become my favourite.
You can bet I will be displaying these in our hutch
this summer, and you will of course be the first to see it!
Looking at these makes me dream of having my own pattern one day.
Wouldn’t that be such an honour? Sigh…a girl can dream, can’t she?

much love,
Gorgeous table setting. I love peonies. It is one of the only flowers we have blooming in our garden. I love working in the garden around them, the smell is intoxicating! I’ve spent this spring cutting and bringing the flowers in every chance I get…..
I will be back tomorrow for the giveaway….love the set you chose…..
Oh Lucy I think this set was made just for you! What a gorgeous post!
This pattern is perfect for you! I love that photo of the plate with your painting.
I see that you were brave enough to cut your peonies. They look beautiful. How nice of Mikasa to send you some dishes. So pretty, they do look like something you would have painted. And your pictures are just gorgeous as always.
Your peonies are beautiful! & the Mikasa is as beautiful! so feminine! 🙂
This has got to be one of the most beautiful posts I’ve seen in blogland. The peonies look gorgeous in the cup.Had I seen this Mikasa pattern elsewhere it would have made me think of you. And to think I was going to throw out the BB&B coupon I received yesterday.
Beautiful! Peonies are one of my fav. flowers, and those dish’s are gorgeous!
This makes me want to run out and buy that set! You are insanely talented!!
OMGOsh-That is a beautiful, beautiful set, Lu! I can’t believe that you got peonies on your plant the first year. That is pretty unusual. My own always go dormant for a year or so when I first plant, or transplant, them. Just so you know they do NOT like to be transplanted. xo Diana
Gorgeous!!
Absolutely stunning!! Your blog is always so inspiring Lucy!! I love visiting!
Those are AMAZING! Love love love them.
