First rose blooms

Each year when I cut back my garden and roses for winter, 

I always wonder...

Will it be as beautiful next spring?

Yes* I have my first blooms...

I had to cut these two...both different heirloom variety. Left has a peachy-pink center and right a blush pink center!

 The smell of just two roses filled my dining room!

We went to Santa Barbara last week for a couple days, rode up on the train, it was spring break!

Found the cutest little antique store...

 I found a lot of treasures but only came home with this...

My 1st vintage Ironstone tureen!

I have seen them over the years, but this is the one that I fell in love with!

As I look at the crazing I don't think the tureen and the lid are the original pair.

 I could be mistaken but the lid sure looks a lot older than the bottom.

 Maybe that's how they age..... but I still love it's petite oval shape and the little knob on the top is darling!

I hope your have a beautiful Wednesday filled with 1st's!!!
