" I love entertaining and find that one of the quickest ways to dress the living room for a party is to use seasonal flowers. In springtime, fragrant blooms add an extra dimension - think of the heady perfume of hyacinths and narcissus. Also available at this time of year are branches of blossom, pussy willow or sticky bud, all of which can create dramatic display while offering good value for money. If you are lucky enough to have an ornamental fruit tree in your garden, snap of a couple of branches and bring them indoors for a breath of springtime."

Ingrid, it was a pleasure to see these words from Jane Packer, to remember her great talent, and to learn that you worked with her.
May I also thank you for the primula post (how I do love those flowers!) and also to have the instructions on how to prolong the life of stock as cut flowers. I will definitely be putting that to use, as I greatly love the look of stock. They always make me want to start drawing. Maybe this spring I will actually get my sketchbook out.

I agree with your quote. Simple flowering branches, even pussy willows, can make a dramatic impact.
Pussy Willows are a favorite this time of year. I love to switch out my bare winter branches with branches of pussy willows. They are on my front porch as we speak! I love them mixed with the stock.
Sååå snyggt och enkelt...mycket smakfullt!

Very nice
There is something so beautifully simple about pussy willows. This is such a wonderful photograph, Ingrid. xo.
