I have been reading Spitalfields Life almost since it started.
I love the descriptions of the East End of London,
the people, the graffiti,
the pubs, shops and market

but, most of all,
I love the Gentle Author's china collection.
Every now and then a new item is featured
and it is always greatly to be desired.

When I read about the inherited bowl
that is always used for Hyacinths
I knew that I HAD to have one too
and it arrived today, by post,
from my wonderful friends at Blue and White.
I fully intended to plant pearl white Hyacinths
but I got distracted by the Winter Anemone.
I hope that the Gentle Author would approve.

A lovely post, Alice! Not only the bowl and the flowers, but the anticipation you create so effectively, then reward with a beautiful composition.
ReplyDeleteAny excuse for more china, eh?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love this idea and it is a great excuse for more china!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely. Everything.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and so very you! K x
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful! And thank you for the link to Spitalfields life. Something else for me to read!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I had no idea that you could happily keep them indoors, much less in a bowl without drainage. And how utterly beautiful they look.
ReplyDeleteThere is always justification if you look hard enough.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

Oh, I am such a fan of that blog too!
ReplyDeleteI approve
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely - I think the Winter Anemones look rather elegant (and they don't honk quite as much as hyacinths do!!). Cat x
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful bowl.
ReplyDeleteOh, Alice!
