Great job....A girl after my own thrifting heart. What a special find with the Villeroy and Boch, I don't know how much it is over there but that name here is pretty expensive. All of your treasures are precious in deed!!
I'm in love with those Villeroy and Boch jugs - for 2 Euro how could you go wrong. Your yellow display is wonderfully springlike.
Loving the daffodils in the gorgeous jugs!! Then on the wonderful daisy chain table cloth!!!
xxxx
How lovely to have daffs again! They look just perfect in those blue jugs, very nice. And what a sweet cloth on the table! I really love the daisy chain, what a lovely embroidery. Our girls love making daisy chains and I have fond memories of making them myself. There is something very special about them even though they are just weeds.
The jugs are wonderful - a lovely colour blue. We still don't have any daffodils out! It can't be long now ...

Hi Floss!
My mum would cut my hands if I'd touch her daffodils! How do you call those hairy buds in French/English??
Enjoy your special day!
Those jugs are gorgeous! The bright yellow of your daffs looks so good against the blue of the jugs.
Daffodils are such a sign of the spring! And pussy willow, how I would love to get them here, but I've never seen them in the flower shops in California.
Ah I'm so glad we are beginning to enter daffodil season...such sunny happy flowers! Love the jugs too! xxx
I absolutely love the jugs, so simple and understated!
I'm hoping for daffs in the garden... maybe in a couple of weeks time? I'm crossing my fingers!
Pretty. Hi Floss! I will not be posting this Sunday for APIL because I'm going to Australia. I'll do the next Sunday (March 28) though. Thank you!
I covet those jugs - a perfect shade of blue, in a perfect grouping of 3, and enhanced by the yellow. A great find.
I love the pussy willow, my favourite....so spring like. Jugs are lovely too :) x
The jugs are absolutely beautiful. One of my favourite colour combinations. xx
At last! Daffodils are suddenly appearing in my garden too...and funnily enough I have a blue Cornishware jug to put them in. I love your set of three!
I like this flower arrangement with your tablecloth!!
..and I found Mt,Fuji on the toothpickho;der:))
Have s lovely special day!!
I love the colours on the jugs. It's great when you can pick flowers from the garden. Roll on our daffs coming out. Mind you the supermarkets are selling them at 99p for 2 bunches so can't complain at that!
