White Peonies #NoFilter Cottage View

June 12, 2016

White Peonies Mason Jar Vase
White peonies in a mason jar in front of the fireplace at my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills.

Yesterday I went on a hunt for white peonies…really any peonies. Most people spend their Saturday mornings with a cup of coffee browsing through news or making breakfast or taking a morning run…I spent my Saturday morning on a feverish hunt for the last of this season’s peonies.

Off I went to the flower mart. By myself, I might add. I couldn’t find any partners in crime for this treasure hunt. I got to the flower market in downtown Los Angeles a little late. Everyone there…seemed to have a know it all smile on their faces as they scurried through the halls and halls of flowers with large bundles of blooms wrapped in newspaper print. I was flowerless. I went from one vendor to the next asking for peonies. Each looked at me blankly. One man said, “We don’t have any…they are out of season”. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I have this new found love for a flower that I was the last on the bandwagon to be obsessed with and now you don’t have them? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?? I refused to give up. Another man gestured that he didn’t have any peonies but that someone over in a corner might have some. I went to every corner in the mart and finally I found one guy who had a bucket of peonies but there was only one bunch of pink that were already open and on their last limb. I still didn’t give up. After circling the flower market in a frenzy, I happened on one vendor who had dozens and dozens of pink peonies…all wide open and none would last more than two days. My hopes were dashed until I spotted these pretties, sitting in a vase, not in a flower mart bucket with the rest. 10 stems for $30. Felt very pricey to me…but little did this vendor know…I would have paid anything for the last of peonies.

Now I have the peonies at home this Sunday…enjoying them. I was told at the flower market that we might have one more week of peonies…next Saturday I’ll be there…anyone in Los Angeles…you are welcome to join me!

My white peonies in full bloom in the afternoon light. So pretty.

I used a mason jar as a vase for my white peonies.  Decided for an informal vessel for these somewhat formal flowers.  I think they look good together.  What do you think?

Happy Sunday!

    Coco,
    I used to spend every other Saturday in the Flower Mart feeding my habit. However I discovered that Trader Joe’s and Ralph’s also have peonies. In fact, the Ralph’s on 3Rd and Vermont had bucketsfull of white peonies. I love the magenta peonies, which I finally found at the Ralph’s on Fountain and La Brea. Good luck!

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
