Amber and Gardenias....


Look at this pretty little depression glass vase...isn't it sweet?

If you look closely you can see that without the flower, it looks quite like a lemon squeezer.

In fact, as I was buying this at the thrift shop for the grand sum of $4.50, I commented on that fact...the lady laughed at me and pointed out that it's actually a vase, not a juicer! I would have been happy either way!

Filled with glossy greenery and a single fragrant gardenia from my Spring garden, it's the epitome of bliss.

Apparently the little mound that holds the flowers in place is called a 'frog'.

Well there you are...you learn something new every day!
