The Violet
Down in a green and shady bed,
A modest violet grew;
Its stalk was bent, it hung its head
As if to hide from view.
And yet it was a lovely flower,
Its color bright and fair;
It might have graced a rosy bower,
Instead of hiding there.
Yet thus it was content to bloom,
In modest tints arrayed;
And there diffused a sweet perfume,
Within the silent shade.
Then let me to the valley go
This pretty flower to see;
That I may also learn to grow
In sweet humility.

My MIL. pearls and Lupine seeds.
Because their a pretty purple.

I think this photo looks sort of vintage bohemian.

I like violets and pansies and Johnny Jump ups, and the poem. Violets are so shy and pretty and they are volunteers in our alley.
Hello, your tea set is so pretty. I love the violets and pansies. Lovely poem and photos, thanks for sharing. Wishing you a very happy week ahead!
I am waiting for my violets in the garden to bloom. I promised my little Petra a tea party with cupcakes iced with buttercream frosting and candied violets!

So feminine and beautifully February. Love the thrift store find! That's really a lovely tea pot.
The teacups are so pretty. Have a wonderful week:)
I love your beautiful collection of tea cups. Each one is a thing of beauty. I think I have a pansy doily in my stash...I'm going to look for it. Perfect for Spring!
Such a pretty post! One of my weaknesses is a complete lack of resistance to vintage tea pots. Your thrift store find is adorable. -- Jan
Your table is the vision of a pretty spring tea this week Clara.
