MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international consultants. About living in Italy, the Veneto area near Venice; in Indonesia, central Java. Why we love the southeast of the United States and moved back from Italy. Our love for gardening, the botanical way. Sharing with you our manifold treasures from exotic places and even offering several in my Mariette's Back to Basics Boutique for others to enjoy as well as high end silver items from Giovanni Raspini, Italy.

Large Delft White Picture Frame Vase

Okay, while we're at it, I want to show you also my large Delft white picture frame vase. Just a short post with photos as they speak for themselves. In my previous post you have seen the small, individual picture frame vases that I use to set the table. Even in yesterday's post you could see one used with the table setting. Enjoy!

Ranunculus - Persian buttercups from Trader Joe's in Atlanta and I did the photo shooting near our gazebo. This is on a plank near the gazebo where trailing pot plants reside. Inside the home it was too dark...

Here is the small individual picture frame vase together with the large one on a Rose Stepping Stone...

On the steps of the gazebo...

And once more on the Rose Stepping Stone.

Nice sunshine for January 25!

The picture frame vases are beautiful and I have never seen one of these before. The Ranunculus look so pretty and such a gorgeous colour.

Enjoy the rest of the week

Draffin Bears said...: Dearest Mariette,

Thanks for visiting me today, always great to hear from you.
About the light deck, so far so good but we may have to change it if it does get to hot. It actually looks more white in the photo, so will see how it goes.

Sending hugs
