I picked up this sweet little vintage cup at a car boot sale the other week - its so pretty, really delicately decorated and super thin china which i love! If you hold it up to the light you can see right through it. Since I like my tea in big doses, i thought to myself this little cup will never get used and will end up lonely in some cupboard for fear of breaking. Instead, I decided to fill it full of flowers and use it as a vase to celebrate the arrival of summer. I picked all the wildflowers from my garden, as we have lots of wild and woolly bits to encourage our ladybugs to thrive as they protect our lovely vegetables from insect nasties!
Come to think of it, I have a poetry book by Penhaligons somewhere, called 'Summers Cup' which i must dig out - all the pages are scented and the illustrations are so gorgeous too....
Have a lovely weekend everyone and be good to the ladybugs! :)
