Hi there, every June I anticipate getting out to a farm that grows peonies way out at the end of Long Island. It’s a special excursion that\u00a0 I so look forward to making every year. And they never disappoint. I call ahead and they have my order ready which is so nice, and needless to say that drive home is like a little slice of heaven with a seat full of peonies, the light floral scent permeating my car.<\/p>\n

Last year I timed it right and held a impromptu birthday dinner for my husband,\u00a0 and this year was hoping to do the same but with Covid,\u00a0 it has been decided that it will have to wait.<\/p>\n

So I did the next best thing, went to town arranging them, placing them around the house and of course took lots of pictures! They just make me so happy and how I wish I could persevere them to stay this way…they are such a spectacular flower. Did see some friends this past weekend so gave them each a bunch which they were so happy to take home, you need to spread and share the love:) So here is part one of For the Love of Peonies…<\/p>\n

And there is my stash waiting for me at the farm!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Got home, sorted them and kept them in their buckets in the garage where it was a bit cooler overnight<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Waking up to a countertop full of peonies is pure heaven!<\/p>\n

Had friends over (we stay apart) for a glass of wine the following night and used a bunch for one of my wicker hurricanes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loved arranging them for more casual arrangements in my assortment. of wicker hurricanes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A lot of people asked me and continually do about the containers I show my flowers in. Besides the obvious porcelain ginger jars and vases, our wicker hurricanes and glass etched hurricanes make sensational flower vessels. As in some of my favorite ways to display flowers.<\/p>\n

I am obsessed with these flowers! They put me in a party mood but alas that is not in the cards this season. Hopefully next! In the meantime, we are really enjoying them and I keep placing them in different parts of the house to keep on reinventing them while they last.<\/p>\n

Storing them somewhere very cool at night will maximize their life (and fresh water every other day). It is maintenance but so worth it. Next week I will share part 2. Thank you for stopping in. Until next time…..<\/p>\n

PS All our melamine (in stock patterns) are 25% off until tonight. Great time to stock up on beautiful patterns for your summer entertaining. Use code summer. Click here to see our collection<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
