Studio Choo Flowers

Oh, I wish I lived in San Francisco just for the reason of being able to buy fresh flowers from Studio Choo.
The modern, but rustic way their bouquets are designed fits my tastes perfectly! It is literally 10 degrees here in Eastern, Pennsylvania today, so I thought it would be nice to share these colorful and warm images from Studio Choo. [my favorites are the ones in the mason jars!]

The ladies of Studio Choo also have a lovely blog. Recently they posted about their little dog, hanging out in their front window! How cute? My goodness, I want to go to their shop, pet their dog, and play with flowers.

Plastic vintage flowers, in the shop now.

Spring Flowers...

Ah, I went to dinner yesterday at a friends house and I brought her some of these. I must say, and I don't feel too guilty, that I snuck some out of her bouquet for myself! I really enjoyed seeing them when I came home last night and waking up this morning. Flowers just make me happy.
I also found these beautiful pieces of flatware in a dirty old box yesterday. I scrounged and scoured the box, making quite a racket in the antique shop! [I kept looking over my shoulder to see if I was disturbing anyone!] I really love their patina and shine. I think a grouping of three makes for a beautiful arrangement and eye appealing decoration.
I have been trying to research them all morning. I know they are from the William A Rogers Oneida Company. They are marked with: Wm. A. Rogers A1 Plus. Oneida Ltd." I have discovered that A1 on flateware means that it is silver plated, but I have not found out what the pattern is called or how old the pieces are. Its kind of a needled in a haystack! Each spoon says the same thing, but in different positions on the back of the handle, which leads me to think that they are all from a a different era! I wish I had a silverware book! They are in the shop now.
