Buzzing About

I've been buzzing about to get our garden

 back to normal after our severe winter,

so today I'm thrilled to join a group of talented ladies

to celebrate the bee, an essential garden helper.

Welcome to Bee-utiful Table SettingsIf you buzzed over from Corner of Plaid and PalseyI know you enjoyed Ann's colorful table.

"Give and Take ~

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life

And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love

And to both, bee and flower,

the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy."

                           ~Khalil Gibran

This symbiotic relationship is one of the marvels of nature.

Flowers provide the pollen and nectar that bees feed upon,

while the bees spread pollen as they buzz from bloom to bloom.

It's this pollination that allows the flowers to reproduce.

I took a break from working in the garden 

and set a table for two on the terrace.

Bees and flowers were the theme.

The pink hydrangeas made a perfect centerpiece 

along with a few of my bee inspired ceramics.

The beautiful Pfaltzgrapff  honey pot is a recent gift 

from a friend, and the vintage salt and pepper was a long ago find.

It's marked Marnutono Handpainted Japan.

The lavender plaid paper runner from Hester and Cook is the perfect touch for the dusty rose Crown Linen Design placemats and napkins.
