Pitchers

It's Wednesday, 7:25pm and I really am in love with pitcher vases... enough that I just had to share some lovely pics!
The colors of burnished chestnut and shades of espresso, mocha, mahogany, and café au lait. Just gorgeous!
Like a chocolate cake frosted with vanilla icing, a brown-and-white color scheme always appeals.
White pitchers and urns use as vases for white flowers are so elegant. Pairing objects in the same hue always look so elegant as well!
An assortment of pink roses in a pitcher vase... few things are as lovely as this!
Pitchers are so stylish, don't you think so! Even water becomes something to admire when served in a pretty pitcher... add some slices of fruit or vegetables to it, and water becomes an easy, elegant beverage option for special dinners, parties, or under-the-stars soirees!

It is still very cold here and I'm still looking like a true hillbilly wrapped in thousand layers... I'd have to say though... I'm truly loving my new neck warmer! ;) Since I don't do any of the 'outdoorsey' winter things, guess in the mean time I can always sit by the fire and enjoy a good book, or feed the birds, or catch up on reading your blogs… right? Well, see you then!

    Cielo, I really like this post. The color combinations of the flowers and pitchers are gorgeous. I really liked the brown and white combo....I've been on a white kick lately, probably because we had our first white Christmas.

    Oh! I have a thing for pitchers too. Love this post and all the beautiful photos with pitchers AND flowers. It seems without knowing I have started a collection of pitchers with lots of white ones. Are this photos from your own collection? Whatever the case, they are beautiful and I love the writing in your post. :)

    Gorgous pics!!! Add me to the "Lover of Pitchers." I love their versatility, either empty or filled with pretties. Great post, thanks for sharing.

    I love pitchers, too. I collect little creamers from restaurants and kitchens... I love the little ones with no handles and a rim of blue or pink... My favorite one has cherries on it! I will have to group them and do a post. I brought them with me from home because they were small enough to tuck somewhere... And they tucked in the corners of my bath... so fun to see all your pitchers. Your neck warmer looks stunning on you!!!! Hugs and keep warm!
