{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...

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

    The daffodils let me feel springtime!

    Today we have snow in Germany!

    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
    Sara

    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

    I adore daffodils!!! Are they really blooming in Georgia????
    Here in New York I don't expect to see them until April.
    Love,

    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!

    Oh how I wish I was sitting beside you and Pieter enjoying the beautiful setting you have created. Mr. G and I have been enjoying the Amaretti hearts with our coffee and tea and it's a little like you are here. Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day! xo HHL

    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

    Dearest Mariette:
    What a lovely and beautiful table you created, everything is just perfect. Here nothing is blooming yet =( and I look forward for that so much, I can't wait for the spring! But just to see your lovely daffodils, makes me feel less impatient and I enjoy so much seeing them in your nice blog.
    Enjoy your beautiful flowers my sweet friend.
    Love to you
