Hello everyone. Well, if you've had a yearning to see some pretty pastel cups and rosy pink flowers, then today is your day, since that what I have cookin'.
Last week I made a stop at one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie, where I spied these turquoise beauties. They have a stamped pattern and a crazed, crackly finish and, let's just say, they called out my name. Can't you just see yourself sipping a tasty drink from one of these? Me too...along with something delicious to nibble on, of course.
Since my mind spends a lot of time focusing on photography, props and the like, I knew these cups would be perfect for some photos. I paired them with some ranunculus, which is one of my favorite springtime flowers.
As I started styling everything, the petals began to fall from some of the blooms. I often find that when I just let things evolve naturally with my photos things seem to turn out better than when I give it too much thought. Do you find that to be the case for you too?
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who left their condolences on the passing of my grandpa. Your kind and thoughtful words mean so much to me. I've gotten a little behind in my visiting, but I hope to be around soon.
I hope you're all having a good week thus far.
I hope you're all having a good week thus far.

These are so luscious and dreamy - wow. Beautiful photography! Anthropologie is my favorite store in the whole world... :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful series of shots. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteRanunculus are my favorite flower, and paired with the Anthropologie cups make for a beautiful display. So nice to see, now that our weather has turned cold again!
ReplyDeleteWe had our flower order ready to go for our youngest daughter's October wedding with orange Ranunculus being the star of the show. THEN we were told the cost would be astronomical because the flowers were "out of season". In the end, we had to settle for orange tea roses with bright green berries. Sigh.
Lovely, lovely photos! The pink and aqua are so wonderful together. I adore your new mugs. They make me wish I drank coffee so I had a reason to go get some for myself. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are amazing Tricia!!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful and so sorry for your loss. I missed that post.

You never cease to amaze me with your bautiful photos! I LOVE the colors of your cups paired with the beautiful flowers...just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, as usual!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of your blog:)
Hello beautiful shades of blue and pink.........You should do make a book of all your pretties.
ReplyDeleteWhat BEAUTIFUL cups - such a gorgeous colour, and the way that you've photographed them is stunning. Personally, I can never get enough cups, flowers OR pretty colours, so if that's what's on offer - I'll be first in line every time! Lovely to have found your blog via a comment on Modern Country Style. We share a love of Stella Mccartney's garden - I just did a post with that amazing front door with the wisteria - totally gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteOh my, your photos are so beautiful! And I love your banner too!
ReplyDeleteOoooo! Those bowls are lovely! You're so right... they are the perfect partner for the ranunculus. I find the same thing when I'm photographing... the less I try to manipulate the better. The fallen petals in your shots look divine.
ReplyDeleteCindy at Rosehaven Cottage
Tricia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I posted about Anthropologie pretty bowls/plates this week. I love the ones you picked out.
The pics are fabulous! Tricia, I've been just waiting to buy camera, can't wait!! I had to buy a different sewing machine, so my money went toward that. I'm going to wait until I move away, then nothing will stop me!
I have a giveaway, hope you can participate!
Tricia...
ReplyDeleteBeen a bit behind in my visits.
Condolences on the passing of your Grampa.
Your photos are sweet bliss...Ranunculus are just the sweetest start to this season!
And paired with these amazing cups are so dreamy!
Thanks for making my day!
Oh it's just so lovely. The flowers paired with the color of the cups are gorgeous! You're very talented at photography.
ReplyDeleteOh, Tricia....I was so sorry to hear about your sweet grandpa. Praying that each day brings you comfort. ♥
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to start stopping by the Anthro site more often. Those cups are so pretty! And what a perfect vignette with the ranunculus.
Sending you hugs, sweetie.
xoxo laurie
Wow, these images are divine. Sorry to hear about your loss. I would love for you to drop by My Dream Canvas as well :-) I’m visiting from Wow Us Wednesdays.
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful cups...such a pretty glaze! The ranunculus flowers are such a soft and lovely color, too~ wonderful photos, Tricia!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous photos! I love those cups, they are the perfect color in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYour sweet comment made my day:)
ReplyDeleteTiffany
I am sorry to hear about your grandpa. Mine passed away 11 years ago and I still miss him.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love that cup! I bought something similar last week. Your cup makes a lovely picture with those flowers. Beautiful photographs as always!
These buttercup flowers has wonderful colors!!! I like it.
ReplyDeleteYour words about your grandpa touched me deeply...
Lovely photos, Tricia – the soft blue of the cups is so spring-like and darling with the ranunculus. And yes, it's often better to not manipulate the props too much – in the end it makes a more natural and beautiful composition.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photos you created on your last post as a tribute to your Grandfather are among your very best, I think. So full of emotion.
Happy spring and looking forward to more of your blossom photos!

Oh my everything about these photos are beautiful! Loving the new cups you found and those are my favorite flowers too! They just need a prettier name. It just doesn't fit their beauty. You should think about selling copies of those photos. They would make lovely notecards ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, the cups look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteKelly
The colors in your photos are delicious!!!!
