Daffodils in Winter

Remember the Daffodils that I told you were crushed to the ground by our snow of last week?  Lo and behold, they popped right back up as soon as the snow melted.  


I snapped this photo a bit ago and then promptly picked a bouquet of my daffs.


And I noticed that the Periwinkle ground cover was in bloom!


I hope that these darlings will show how happy they are to be brought into the warm farmhouse and open up and show their bright yellow faces soon.


I got this little vintage Devon Violet perfume bottle a few years ago and I added it to my St. Patrick's table display.  We have seas of wild Violets in the farm yard - they are white, lavender and purple colored.  They are holding off a bit until the weather warms and then I will pick a big handful to bring into the house, they smell divine.


I try to add one thing to my seasonal displays each year and this little treasure just arrived in time for me to fill with daffodils and put on the table.  It's Belleek porcelain and was handcrafted in Ireland.  It's such fine china that you can see your hand through it as you hold it up to the light.  *love*


I added this to my sewing box, too.  It's from Sajou, Paris and the glass tops are made in Murano, Italy.  :-D  They come in many different labels, but this one of a dog and cat on red tufted stools, the cat rolling a ball of yarn while the dog holds the skein reminded me of Dayle and I as he hold my yarn for me as I wind away.  :-)


The kids are taking the boys to a water park for the weekend.  I've just suggested they make sure and take some photos.  :-)  I'm going swimming today and am looking forward to a quiet weekend of crocheting and resting up from a busy week.  What are your plans for the weekend?  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  1. How could your daffodils not be happy to open in your beautiful Belleek pitcher? The perfume bottle is adorable and I'm sure your violets will be lovely in this little piece.
    I've been hunting around our town for the shamrocks you featured. Hopefully I'll find them soon.
    We're staying around home this weekend. Probably cleaning up the yard after all this wind we're having! ♥

  2. We are still deep in snow - it's so unusual and the whole country has come to almost a standstill and it fills almost every news bulletin!
    Have a good weekend

  4. The Belleek piece is delightful Teresa. Love to see daffodils. I am not sure if our daffs will survive the weather. It has been so, so cold and there has been snow and blizzard conditions. We were supposed to go to our son's in Yorkshire but the weather meant we could not travel :-( I am very down about it. Hugs to you Anne x

  5. I love daffodils, they are so bright and cheerful. Your new jug is very pretty. I really need to catch up on some ironing tomorrow, I know boring. I've had a cold all week and haven't done much at all. I will probably bake some more flapjack too, I like to add sunflower seeds (teen 2 doesn't) and chocolate chips. I hope to sit and do some more crochet, enjoy the weekend, Cathy x

  6. Three more inches of snow here today. I’m hoping for spring soon. We have a funeral tomorrow. Our computer has been in the Geek squad shop all week. They just called me today and told me it’s dead, dead, dead. Which is why I haven’t blogged this week. We will need to go shopping for a new one after the funeral tomorrow. Plus we have weekend guests. Plus I went to the doctor yesterday and I’m on antibiotics for diverticulitis. It’s always something isn’t it? I’m hoping spring, gets here and blows all of these nasty things away. Blessings, Betsy

  7. Lovely heralds of Spring...the trumpeting Daffodils! The pitcher to hold them is a pretty addition to your collection, and I enjoyed seeing your other flowers and pins, too. Carolyn had a good result from her CT scan for which we are grateful. Sunday we drive to Santa Rosa again for her to have a blood test, then Monday we go again for a chemo treatment. We love the drive and I am enjoying working on a hat for her. We are getting some needed rain! Happy weekend to all of you! xx

  9. I live in Northern Ireland where Belleek is a town and of course made, and about a mile from Corbet which is a lough (lake) must have have been some people from my end of the workd who settled near you

  10. I love daffodils and so happy yours survived they are hardy flowers for sure. Look forward to seeing their bright faces. Those boys will have fun at water park. Here doing some final things around the home and packing for our trip to New Zealand next Friday ☺☺

  11. Some lovely additions to your spring table. Those daffodils are hardy plants. Sounds like you are having back and forth weather. From snow to water parks. My NY boy had a snow day yesterday because of the Nor'easter blowing through the East Coast, yet Colorado boy has yet to see snow in his area all winter long.

  13. Daffs are such sturdy flowers Teresa, our are just coming out from the snow and should be fine. Your table is looking so pretty. I do nothing for St Pat's day and yet both sides of the family on mine and Martin's side are pure Irish 3 generations back!! Enjoy your restful weekend, we are still in the grips of the Beast from the East! Hugs xxx

  14. Oh your Belleek is just lovely. I have to take my own and see if I can see through it! I love that you make your home speak to every holiday and season.

  15. It's amazing how hardy these flowers have been. My hellebores have lifted their heads after being under snow last week, none the worst for wear. Love all your March decor. The Belleek pitcher is lovely! I have a faux Belleek tea pot, "Made in Occupied Japan". We're just puttering around the house this weekend. Hubby has a woodworking project and I'm doing some stitching. Enjoying the sunshine, though!

  16. Daffodils are amazingly tough flowers! We had some blooming in the snow here last week too. All your spring decorations are lovely and those pins are pretty...I have seen them before. Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend dear Teresa. Xox
