Sweetest of the flowers a-blooming
In the fragrant vernal days
Is the Lily of the Valley
With its soft, retiring ways.

Gorgeous teapot and cup!! I love the photos too! Love the green and white.
Beautiful! Looks washed by rain. Perfect for Spring!
This teacup is gorgeous as the lily of the valley itself ! This post is simply "the Return of Happiness" as for some that is what the lily symbolizes!
Sherry, my mom used to have a bed of Lillies of The Valley in my back yard and I loved them as a girl. I used to cut them and put them in a vingegar cruet. Your teacup is so unusual, as well as your tea pot -- so very pretty! Joni
So pretty! Great photography!
Beautiful teapot and cup. I am a May baby and will have to look for that cup.
Hi Sherry,

Very pretty Sherry! They always remind me of my G-Mom-B, she grew them on the side of the house and I have some from her yard in my garden now:@)

Lillies of the Vally are one of my favourite flowers! I'm always looking for a tea cup with them on it when I am garage sale-ing ... but have not yet found one! So pretty!
That is so pretty. I have a very similiar teacup (but no wonderful white teapot). I love how you did these photos. Now that I have a new camera, I hope to learn a few of these "tricks"!
This pattern is quite lovely - love what you did with the pictures - makes them artwork!
Thank you for joining me at A Return to Loveliness!

Stunning photography! I have the cup and saucer. When I grew up outside of Albany, NY, my grandmother's home, next to ours, had an abundance of lily of the valley and I so loved the delicate blossoms. You have capture the essence of that is your photography. Simply breathtaking beauty captured through the lens of your camera. You inspire me. Blessings.
I love the dreamy look of your photos-so beautiful!

Oh, Sherry! Lilly of the Valley!! (their meaning) "A return to happiness". I just love them. They were plentiful in springtime where I grew up in northern New Jersey. I took them for granted then, but now miss their sweet aroma and beauty.
I'm glad to see your cup, and you photographed it so beautifully 'washed in white".
Thank you for the fond memories, and have a happy, happy day,
Marianne
Beautiful Photos Sherry..Hugs and smiles Gloria

Simply charming lily of the valley on those white beautiful pieces you have!
What gorgeous photos! Lily of the Valley is one of my favorite spring blooms, and is the flower for my birth month of May! I have a tea cup collection that belonged to my husband's mom, and one of them just so happens to be a Lily of the Valley pattern:)
Those photos are absolutely beautiful! Love the teapot and cup.
