{Silver Repousse Pastry Server with Cherubs}

This is such a lovely Silver Repousse Pastry Server with Cherubs. Would make a perfect bridal gift or as a very special, romantic gift.
Again this is only available at my on line Boutique and I will as always, do ship Worldwide.

Just click here: Silver Repousse Pastry Server with Cherubs in order to go to my online Boutique.

One can only admire the talented silver smith that once created this ornate piece in solid repousse silver...
Perfect match with the beautiful hand crocheted table topper by blogger friend Susan from Ava Grace's Closet's Mama.

Yes, I certainly love to use our roses whenever I photograph beautiful silver pieces. It is such pure romance.

Together with a healthy piece of dark chocolate, filled with dried apricots, nuts and seeds, that I made myself, it displays very well.

Here you can see the silver mark which is German.
First the 800 is visible, followed by a half moon and a crown.

 On Page 21 of Johanna Gehrlein's book: Rosen-Bestecke you can see those silver marks shown in the 1st and 2nd image, resembling a half moon and a crown.

Johanna's excellent book Rosen-Bestecke, about Rose Silver flatware has always been such a great reference!

Sold out...

{Ixora}

On our patio we also have the exotic tropical plant Ixora and it looked so lovely on July 4th. Due to plenty of late afternoon showers, like in the tropics, it was quite happy!

A bright yellow color with touches of pink...

Far more common is the red variety which you already may know.

But look; only six weeks later but after a dry spell...

Looking all perked up after a generous 'drink' from the green hose in the back...

Without water there will be NO LIFE!
It is still very hot and dry in Georgia/USA...

{Variegated Blue Flax Lily}

On our new patio we also do have two Variegated Blue Flax Lilies. Let me show you the one that has tiny  blue flowers. They were rather tricky to photograph but I got some photos to share with you...

As mentioned above, they are rather tiny!

This gives you more an idea of the entire pot plant and the tiny flowers...

Beautiful variegated leaves, that in itself is already striking enough.

But such a lovely bloomer too; almost continuously and in winter they ought to show blue berries as well.

So pretty how they open from closed buds into a lovely blue flower...

Really fragile looking...

Looking now towards the street.

Do any of you have this Variegated Flax Lily?
