Busy Bees

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









 
 It is one of those unexpected treasures that brings delight
the minute you see it.  It has a sweetness about it that I find 
beyond description.  Maybe it is it's soft pastel green color, or
maybe 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 lovely
single goblet I also found this weekend.










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











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











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

  3. It is totally cute. Plus honey is so healthy and we need reminders to eat a little now and again.
