Custom Comforts: Busy Bees

I found this sweet little honey pot this weekend while out thrifting.

It is one of those unexpected treasures that brings delightthe minute you see it. It has a sweetness about it that I find beyond description. Maybe it is it's soft pastel green color, ormaybe it is because I used to be a beekeeper and will always have a fondness for bee items.I love it paired with this delicate linen I also found this weekend.

I set a sweet table for myself with an inexpensive basket weave plate matching in color, my mismatched vintage silverware and a lovelysingle goblet I also found this weekend.

I added this little set of vintage bee salt and pepper shakers given tome years ago by a friend. Don't they make sweet companions?

The honey pot is missing it's lid, but also makes a delightful smallpitcher or vase.

And so I'm enjoying a meal with my pretty springtimethrifting finds.
