Queen Anne's Lace........weed or beauty? I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, but I happen to think they are very beautiful indeed. If you drive along the country roads this time of year you will see thousands of these beauties swaying in the wind. I wanted some for my sale last weekend so I grabbed my favorite bucket for cut flowers and walked up our road with clippers in hand. They seem to make a statement even though they are so simple. Enjoy! xoxo K.
Even the bees love them.
Here is a bouquet I had at the sale.
I really like how they look inside an old blue glass jar.
This display looks wonderful on my table in our kitchen.
Aaahhh....... Simplicity!
I don't know how this can be called a weed, it's so gorgeous! Love how you've used it, love it in the zinc bucket!

Beauty...definitely beauty!!! How can soooo many bees be wrong????
ReplyDeleteWith the way you display things so beautifully, I'm sure you could make dandelions look gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteIt falls in the beauty category for me~ love it in the blue jar! Thanks for hosting :-)
ReplyDeleteI picked queen annes lace the day before my wedding, 24 years ago, so that the florist could put it in my bouquet. I love this time of year when it grows wild and I relive that memory. Thanks for the party! Theresa

Your posts are always so simple and elegant. I thought about your show set up all week in my shop. I know what kind of effort it takes to put something like that together. I hope you did well! Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Anne's Lace in my garden. There is just something about the white simplicity of it! Looks great in all of your displays! As you showed us, it can be used anywhere. Happy WW!!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue
Gosh I love Queen Anne's Lace and I really love your vintage containers for them!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathleen they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love how they looked as a centerpiece at your sale.
Too bad the only weeds we have here are the tumble kind, not so pretty, LOL
Take care
Amy
i think they are so pretty but i remember picking them as a child and they always had bugs in them, does that not happen in your house?!
ReplyDeleteI had a carrot the flowered and it looks just like Queen Annes lace!! I love this flower. I can't imagine anyone thinking it a weed- my just look at your pretty pictures and all would know it is a lovely flower!

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Ann Lace...it's a beautiful flower and I wish it would grow like a weed in my area. I do get some in the yard and I also have some beautiful ones that stays green. Thank you for having us again and Happy WW. Ciao Rita mammabellarte
I love queen annes lace! If you dry them in a heavy book and then stick them to a window with a bit of softened beeswax in the winter they make a beautiful natural snowflake! A window full of them at Christmas is so enchanting!
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Annes Lace! These photos are just gorgeous! Looks good inside or outside:) Thanks for hosting White Wednesday, my favorite!

I just love queen anne's lace-it's free and wispy and makes me think of the old days-Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteYour Queen Anne's lace reigns supreme. It really is simply gorgeous especially in the contrasting pail. Thanks for hosting and Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteFunny you ask. I asked the same thing and researched to find out. I wrote about their health benefits and history. The link is in my sidebar. Yours are very pretty. I always liked them and like them even more now. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really like your tin buckets! i have been looking for one for me, but so far the prices are really high. Your posts are always refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, I'm sorry, but I had trouble getting the link up and then ended up with two of them. For some reason I'm not getting the little "delete" symbol, so I can't delete either one. If you have any ideas, let me know.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry.
Blessings,
Marcia
I'm lovin them too Kathleen!Pretty pictures. Hope your sale @ Molly Mo's was real good!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not weed coz I don't have that beauty in my garden. I wish I did...it's certainly pretty and dainty, and also versatile! Luv your bench with the Paris pillow.

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThe Queen Anne's lace looks beautiful in a bouquet. I especially love the big bouquet you had on the table at your sale. That really made a statement.
Thanks for hosting WW. I always enjoy the party!

I've always loved Queen Anne's Lace, but have to admire it from afar! Or in pictures - the real thing makes me itch and sneeze. Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this! My first time joining in, although I've been enjoying everyone's beautiful white stuff for a while now.
Hi Kathleen, They are definitely beauties. I love the way you displayed them. They look great. Thanks for hosting.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite wild flower by far. Love how they sway in the wind. I even taught my oldest g'daughter to say Queen Anne's Lace when she was 2!
ReplyDeleteLove your images.
Debbie
Great pictures of the Queen Anne's Lace!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting "White Wednesday"
I stopped by yesterday to see your beautiful flowers and forgot to comment and link up! Love the flowers in the galvanized bucket ~ oooh, so French flower market!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this lovely event each week.
Ciao,
Suzanne
Such gorgeous Queen Anne's Lace vignettes Kathleen!I especially love the one on then glass garden table with all the small bottles around it. I too love to pick it for jugs and containers.
ReplyDeleteIt took me so long to get around to comment on White Wednesday this week but I enjoyed it nonetheless and at least I did my post in time :)
Here's wishing you a happy weekend!
xoxo~ Carola
i never knew that this was a "weed". infact, i bought a plant a few years back and planted it in my backyard. since then it has flourished all over the yard. i do love it so! your arrangements are just wonderful!
ReplyDeletehappy day to you,
becky
Hi. I just found your blog and joining your followers! Love your pictures of Queen Ann's Lace. I used to cut it all the time, but here in the south it is known as Chigger Weed. If you are not sprayed up with insect repellent, you will surely get chiggers and weeks of itching to follow! I just love the look, and really enjoyed all of your different options for display. Thanks for sharing and taking me back!
