{Our 1939 Sweetness Daffodils}


  • Yesterday we had two big nosegays of fragrant 1939 Sweetness Daffodils. One for a dear friend and one for us to fill a white ceramic vase. What a bliss for having those in January. That is extremely early. Do any of you have bulbs blooming right now? 

  • Fragrant Sweetness Daffodils; Sunshine and Tea...

  • Dark chocolate Pomegranate from Costco.
  • Amaretti cookie hearts from Mariette's Kitchen...

  • Teapot is a French Pillivuyt

  • The ceramic spoon to the right is an American Favorites Porcelain Spoon from Avon. It is the 1988 pattern with Daffodils.

  • The sterling bon bon or nut spoon is a H44 H J Howe with daffodils.

  • 1988 Avon Daffodils spoon

  • Matching cocktail napkin with daffodil embroidery.

Sorry that you cannot smell their fragrance...

  4. Mooie site :) Ik wist tot voor kort niet dat narcissen een geur hadden, maar onze paperwhites ruiken ook. Niet erg lekker, maar toch :)

  7. Oh, blühen bei Euch die Osterglocken schon, liebe Mariette?
    Bei uns dauert das noch ein bißchen!
    Die Herz-Kekse sind auch sehr schön! Hast Du die selbst gebacken oder gibts die bei Euch zu kaufen?

    Liebe Wochenendgrüße

  8. Liebe Mariette,
    da hast du ja alle Kostbarkeiten vereint, die es mit Narzissen gibt. Das schöne Porzellan und die wunderbare Stickerei sind schon wirklich eine Pracht. Aber der silberne kleine Kuchenheber ist unglaublich schön. Und der Teelöffel sieht aus wie Porzellan? Alles zusammen ergibt eine wunderbares Tee-Ensemble. Und den Duft der frischen Osterglocken kann ich schon gar nicht mehr erinnern. Hier blühen nur Schneeglöckchen und Eranthis. Und es ist wieder kalt geworden.
    Schöne Grüße in eure frühlingshafte Gegend sendet,
    Johanna

  11. Wat een vrolijke foto's Mariette! De narcissen zien er prachtig uit. Is het bij jullie al zo warm dat jullie buiten thee kunnen drinken?! Lijkt mij heerlijk. Ik verlang ook weer naar de zon.

    Bij ons helaas nog geen narcissen, maar wel heleborussen, sneeuwklokjes en crocusjes.

    Een fijn weekend!

  16. Hi Mariette,

    How lucky you are to have daffodils! Everything looks so lovely. I haven't been blogging much lately or visiting, just taking a little rest. But I am starting to catch up again now and glad to know you are enjoying beautiful days. We had a snowstorm today! Lol
