I'm a simple girl at heart.
I don't long for that much ....
a posy of perfect roses ...
a few lazy sage leaves ...
an old and tarnished silver bowl ...
soft lighting on a window sill
a little pink, a little cream, a touch of yellow ....
doesn't sound like much to ask !
what do you think? are you easy to please too?

I am simple, too! And love the simple loveliness and pairing of the tarnished silver and the gorgeous roses! Absolute perfection! Thank you for sharing!

Such a lovely arrangement of roses. I too take joy in the most simple of things. A beautiful bouquet always does it for me too. I grow roses as well and always enjoy cutting them to be brought inside. I particularly liked your use of the Sage in your arrangement, it gives the arrangement a nice texture and I think using the tarnished silver piece was brilliant. Just lovely, a work of art.

Hello Sharon
ReplyDeleteThe tarnished container sets the stage and then your arrangement of roses to be followed by the highlight of sage makes it spectacular.
Have a glorious week

ReplyDeleteI love roses and any vessel that holds their beauty whether it be shiny or tarnished is fine by me.
ReplyDeleteYour splendid bouquet is sheer perfection.
Gorgeous!! Simply gorgeous! Sounds good to me!

oh ya, i take pleasure in life's simple pleasures and the beauty that surrounds! thanks for sharing...i can only imagine the loveliness that surrounds your guests!!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely arrangement is the epitome of stately prettiness, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteWe must think alike...camera in hand on sunday, I shot my favorite roses arranged in small glasses. Seeing your beautiful images, I will file mine instead, or perhaps they will find their way in a book to come... We grow the same variety of roses, i just love these full, gorgeous roses, and bring them to my nightstands, entry, library. The best part of summer is taking care of all my roses. Happy summer!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and yes some of the simplest things bring me the greatest joy.
ReplyDeleteI think you said it all.
ReplyDeleteQuite an amazing attire of te home, looks just amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! gorge!
ReplyDeleteunas flores maravillosas!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. The simple things really are the best.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful arrangement. What varieties of roses are in it? I love them all!
ReplyDeleteTHose SAGE leaves are fantastic!Love the touch of a yellow rose!Love the tarnished silver too............Guess I love it all!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous arrangement! I'm a simple girl at heart too. It's the little things that bring about the most pleasure to me. Flowers, a good book to read, my first cup of coffee of the day, old buttons, and a smile on a child's face bring happiness to me. :)
ReplyDeleteYou did say it all with the subject of simplicity! Simple things that are yet gorgeous make me feel at peace if that makes any sense at all...but it is the way I feel when I see these lovely container of roses...merci and I hope you and your family have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteStunning! I am a simple girl... but I can't say I am easy to please. I am easily delighted by simple things though! For some reason I don't see this arrangement as simple. It is opulent... and full... and lush... and just so gorgeous!
ReplyDeletestumbled on your blog via Things that Inspire. It is so beautiful and full of inspiration, thank you for the gorgeous photos!

It is the simplest things in life that make me happiest.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying life on the farm right now.
All the best.
Yes, I am! I often buy roses for myself and make arrangements for my entryway at home, in tarnished silver vases. So classic, simple and gorgeous. I love your post today.
ReplyDeleteJust increadibly beautiful, it is poetry!
ReplyDeleteI am with you on this...xo Z
Yes indeed - each rose a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteNever have gorgeous luscious roses and tarnished silver looked so incredibly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNothing would please me more than those roses, and tarnised silver is so much lovlier than too shiny...
ReplyDeletesoooo beautiful! xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!!! I look forward to seeing you at My Dream Canvas for my backyard party :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, that is gorgeous! I love tarnished silver...probably more than polished!
ReplyDeleteYour roses are just perfect...so lovely, Sharon!
Yep - THAT'S what I was talking about with the 'tarnished pot' (vs. polished cake moulds)!
ReplyDeleteLG, Gerlinde
I too have the same roses, and they bloomed so early this year. I ended up cutting all the lavender and putting it in my silver bowls to dry. Your Roses are very beautiful and I cannot go to sleep at night without reading your blog. Very peaceful! Someday I will get to your beautiful part of the world. Martha
ReplyDeletePS: my face fits/blends better to it as well! ;-) :-D
ReplyDeleteLG, Gerlinde
