Queen Anne, Queen Anne has washed her lace
{she choose a summer's day}
And hung it in a grassy place
To whiten, if it may.
Queen Anne, Queen Anne has left it there
And slept the dewy night;
Then waked, to find the sunshine fair,
And all the meadow's white...
-Mary Leslie Newton

oh how i LOVE Queen Anne's Lace! It grew like crazy around my home in Miane. This brings back such fond memories for me! How lovely they look in your vintage bottles sandi! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh Sandi,
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely... the flowers and the poem. Do you grow Queen Anne's Lace or buy it? I would love to grow it out front/side yards and am wondering if it's an easy grower.
Have a beautiful weekend!

What a lovely poem, and beautiful presentation.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi! I remember my Jaclyn wearing this as a crown on her head when she was little and marrying her Daddy!

Hello Sandi... I love Queen Anne's Lace! It grows wild all around here... yours looks so beautiful in the little bottles... to me, it is the epitome of a summer's day! ... xoxo Julie Marie PS Love the poem too!
ReplyDeleteSandi your Queen Anne's Lace is oh so pretty. I love it. It is the perfect companion for all your awesome bottles. Everytime I see blooms in bottles like those I think of my grandmother's window sills full of little bouquets from the garden.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you from here!
