In a Vase on Monday

It's daffodil time in the garden and I was reminded of this wine decanter/goblet set that my pottery guru in Alaska made in the 70's.  For some reason, this came to college with me and the decanter, filled with daffodils sat in the windowsill of my practice room in the music building during most of the spring.  Having only seen daffodils grown in gardens, it was amazing to me that every grocery store in the area offered bunches of them.  Little did I know then that this area, at that time, was a major producer of both daffodil bulbs and blooms.  This set has lived in the attic for years now and seldom crosses my mind but seeing bunches of daffodils in the store on Sunday took me on a drive down memory lane.

I grabbed a bunch at the store and picked a few from my garden and they  look identical to me.

Some glass pebbles, most of which were used inside the vessels to hold the stems, and a few glass eggs, in honor of spring, were added.
Sweet college memories  and fresh golden daffodils will bring me joy this week.  Bringing a bit of the outdoors inside, either  from our gardens or scavenged nearby, to elicit happy thoughts during the week is the idea behind In a Vase on Monday, this addictive meme hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
