My sweet sister in law brought me over huge
bunches of lilacs last night.
Next to peonies, they are my favorite.
I filled up this huge basket on my kitchen

What a surprise to see them in a lovely basket! Great idea! My first thought would be to grab the nearest large vase, but you took a nice creative spin. I just love lilacs.

here in KY, my lilacs were at their peak about 3 weeks ago. If you opened up the back doors, they filled the whole house with their perfume...they WERE indeed heavenly!
Oh how gorgeous. I love them. They are so beautiful in the basket and I am sure the aroma is heavenly. Happy May day. Hugs, Marty
How beautiful!!! Enjoy your weekend sweetie!
Aren't they gorgeous!!

These are beautiful,I just love how you have displayed them, lilacs are my favourites too.
Happy May Day :)
I bet your house is smelling fabulous right now. I agree peonies are my favorite, I think they are the roses of spring. I try to only cut enough for my kitchen and living room so that when I look in the yard it still looks beautiful. Have great day.
How beautiful, love the basket...of course I love your home and kitchen. I have been a fan since RMS days. I miss seeing your rooms. I can almost smell the lilacs.
hugs,
Donna
those are so gorgeous!
Wow, you have a thoughtful sister-in-law! Lilacs have a glorious aroma, but I'm with you peonies are my favorite. I checked ours here in the middle-Atlantic states today. The ants haven't started doing their duty on opening them up, maybe in a week or two. Maurie@graciousinteriors.blogspot.com
Mmm...so pretty! We still have to wait a bit for our...up here in the mountains.
Have a lovely weekend!

Peonies are my favourite too and have just bought a teeny lilac plant for our garden...looking forward to it growing and producing gorgeous blooms just like the ones you've pictured. So pretty. xxx
Wow...what a sweet sister-n-law you have! And, what a gorgeous arrangement you made with them! Love it! Beth
Melanie, how sweet of your sister in law to bring over some flowers! That centerpiece is just lovely, thanks for sharing.

I grew up in Minnesota where we had three lilac bushes in our yard. I miss them so much as now I live in South Texas where it is too hot for lilacs.
Gosh you make everything look beautiful !!! By the way I emailed you to tell you I received the Wisteria clock hands and posted about it on my blog if you want to see the pictures.
Thanks again,
Sylvia
The lilacs make a gorgeous centerpiece. What a thoughtful Sister-in-law.
