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!!!
