Chicken Flowers
We might be the only family in Austin without chickens. I imagine if we did I would use this cute little antique wire egg basket I found at Uncommon Objects to bring the eggs into the house. I would also use it as I have today as a vessel and fill it with the most exquisite flowers-coral charm peonies, ranunculus, Queen Anne’s lace, tulips, lilac, and spirea. I would place it outside to photograph it and, I imagine, our sweet little chickens would get curious and begin to peck at it.

Honey Colored Glasses
I came across this wonderful vintage amber glass compote and immediately thought of The Savannah Bee Company and those delicious honeycombs. My friend, Savannah caterer Susan Mason, has travelled miles with them in tow to me here in Texas. The compote truly is the color of honey, especially in the right light. I filled this delicious dish with luscious tree peonies made of supple petals and beds of pollen, clematis so sweet no bee could resist, scented geranium, garden roses, carnations and amazing Oriental poppies for a final sting.
