Suddenly everthing is beginning to put on its prettiest May dress
Through the dining room window I can see sweet peas and roses, and smell them too.
Mine are on a tomato cage~Not as lush and awe inspiring as these!
I once painted sweet peas all over a teacup. I knew when I finished it I wouldn't be doing one again, so I hung it on a hook in my sideboard and use it for Spring Tea parties.
A new windmill. Lithograph tin. I adore this because its made to be a little house.My dream, to live in a windmill.
On the water,(since I'm building castles in the sky).
Bluebirds in the garden and a sweet pea patch out back.
Up the stairs to our front door. Someone who is very tall and has a bristley moustache has to duck a little to get home, but he doesn't complain.
More pots for my shop
Now I must rush, there are bouquets to cut and sweet peas to water!

sweet peas one of the loveliest things in this world! i could imagine what is like to walk in a field full of them. the sweetpea teacup is wonderful, perfect for a tea in the garden.
ReplyDeleteYour pots and cups look beautiful Julie! So does the view of your garden. To have sweet peas in bloom already....lucky you!
ReplyDeleteHappy day!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely :) I can feel full of spring from your post. Sadly over here in UK has been rather wet and cold this year's spring... I cannot wait to see flowers and sunshine! xm

ReplyDeleteSweet peas, I love them, I have one little brave seedling poking it's head through the soil ...........I just love their perfume. Your sweet pea teacup is just beautiful as are your new pots......
Ah Spring........

Beautiful! I can almost smell the sweet peas. I wouldn't mind ducking to get home either, if I could grow roses in the forest!!
ReplyDeleteWe are still cool and rainy, but starting to get unfurling ferns and blooms.
Happy bloming!!
Your garden looks heavenly Julie and your pots as always. I am hoping it's not too late to plant my sweet peas here.I love all your little bits you collect too, the windmill, the little dovecote!
ReplyDeleteYour pottery is always such a pleasure to see...every piece just wonderful...blessings
ReplyDeleteI can smell the sweet peas from here, and if I close my eyes I am there too! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh, that little windmill house is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAnd the sweetpea cup from long ago is so wonderful.
You are amazing, my friend. I continue to dream about a trip out to see you....and play....

gosh your shop empties quickly.....sigh.....
ReplyDeleteI love your new works of art and sweet peas are one of my all time favorites.....and that little tin windmill is unbelievable......How did I miss that wonderful little pink house...I could live there forever!!!
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely! That picture of the sweet pea field takes my mind instantly on a fantasy journey.
ReplyDeleteSimplemente bello , amo tus diseños amiga !!! beso y buen fin de semana !!!!
ReplyDeletedelightful as always. xo
ReplyDeleteI can relate when you said you painted your sweet pea cup and knew you would never do it again. It's a sort of purge, necessary and the first time around, a joy, an accomplishment but twice an impossibility.
ReplyDeleteYour garden and sweet peas, planters, pottery, tiny windmill and home are a delight.
Oh yes living in a windmill would be fun!
xoxo
Nature is a bit behind here in the Netherlands, because of the cold. My sweet peas are only 3 cm tall!! But on the other hand, enough windmills to enjoy! Enjoy your garden, it's soo soothing.

Julie- I agree that May is the most beautiful month for flowers. You've painted them perfectly on your pots and on that dainty little cup. I love sweet peas too- seedlings from plants that once belonged to my great grandmother have now completely taken over my flowered. They are incredible!
ReplyDeleteI lust after everything you make--
Vicki
Beautiful....sweet pots, sweetpeas, roses and a lovely little windmill...so perfect! Have a happy weekend, Julie.

The May blooms are just beautiful! Your painted pots are charming, whimsical, and a real delight. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your world - always fun to read your blog. Happy "Blooming May"!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to live in a lighthouse...but, it would have to be a portion of it that was 'specially built to be warm and cosy...cuz I'm sure they are draughty and cold and damp...being always right there on the edge of an ocean cliff....ahhahha... ... but, for the peace, quiet and the ocean waves...
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely May.
ReplyDeleteThis is from Kay!
Hello, just stop by.
ReplyDeleteAnd see your beautiful work.
So cheerful!
Love Annette
hello
ReplyDeletei just favourited your etsy shop in the hope that more of your lovely creations might appear there in the future. it seems they sell like hot cakes as soon at they hit the shelves! and i am not at all surprised. they are just wonderful!
the hedgehog one particularly tickled me, but they are all very charming. you have such talent.
i'm in love with your blog too and shall visit again :)
p.s my brother is a potter, i must show him.
I just love those pots.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty collection on this post Julie. I love your tea cup ...it deserves to fly solo. :)
ReplyDeleteI went to your shop and it was empty.
ReplyDelete:(
Hello Julie, your pots and cups make me smile and happy! Love them!
ReplyDeleteLove your pots Julie - and the flowers in your sunny garden! x
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to live in a windmill after seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.Do you remember the inventor's house in a windmill?
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely. I am going to pick out my wine glass and email you after the big weekend.:):)
Your paintings are just like a garden: sweet and cheerful, happy and colorful. I think a collection of these flower pots would be lovely on any windowsill. I collect old copies of "Secret Garden" but have never seen this cover, it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy my Julie,
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so lovely.. this is absolutely the best time of year.. the sweet peas look devine, as do all your pots. Peonies are in full bloom here. their fragrance fills the house..
Julie, when visiting your shop you asked if there was anything particular we were looking for.
ReplyDeleteI would love one of your pieces with the rabbit (as in this post). Could you let me know when you might be making more and the cost (and postage to Australia).
Adore your whimsical paintings on pottery.
