Ou...You have reminded me of sweetness from my past. Our first home in Elmhurst (near Chicago) had all these vintage varieties of everything, and I remember the lilies of the valley so vividly. I remember being in my garden, savoring it, knowing I was only here temporarily - so the sights and smells are still right there in my memory. But it is all bittersweet since I miss that place - the place my babies ran around barefoot. Thank you for ushering me into the sweetness, Elizabeth. xoxmichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147970920141315262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-49067032837250001882018-03-12T11:04:15.371-04:002018-03-12T11:04:15.371-04:00Lovely flowers!Lovely flowers!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-6793114076022542162018-03-12T08:00:44.672-04:002018-03-12T08:00:44.672-04:00Oh I remember the Martha Stuart Lily of Valley Egg...Oh I remember the Martha Stuart Lily of Valley Egg arrangement! Tried it for several years and never could get the egg shells to cooperate. Now I simply use an old jelly jar and am perfectly content this time of year. (that is when I can find them in FL!)

An aunt gave me a tiny vase etched with them--just the right size for the delicate sprigs.<br />I recently saw an Art Nouveau chair that was decorated with lilies of the valley.
