About Me: Mr. Magnolia and I are thrilled to be planning an evening, winter wedding for 200 people in Atlanta. We both work in politics and share a love of University of Georgia football, pop culture, and good food! I'm a runner who adores wedding magazines, bad reality television, and a
good glass of wine. Most of the time I like to think I'm pretty organized, but between wedding planning, house hunting, and a full-time job, I'm being put to the test!
The Story Of The Chicken Pitcher
March 2nd, 2008 @ 10:33 am by Mrs. Magnolia
I think it’s just because Atlanta is in the middle of (what I hope is) the last big cold snap of the year, but I am just dying for spring to be here. Seriously, y’all… I bought a tube top yesterday. And if you know anything at all about Mrs. Magnolia, it’s that she’s not usually a tube top-type of girl. So you know the mid/late winter cabin fever must really be getting to me.
Last week, Mr. Magnolia and I were thrilled to see that a couple of bulbs had appeared in the flower bed in our front yard. A few days later, we had seven gorgeous daffodils (or as my adorable Mister calls them, jonquils) blooming… and just in time for another frost to hit. So I ran outside and cut my beautiful signs of spring before the temperature dive took them all out anyway.
So then I faced the quandary of how to display my seven beautiful daffodils, and I had a brainstorm about an image from this month’s issues of Southern Living (yes, I read Southern Living…). I can’t find a good picture online, but they featured some gorgeous spring tulips in a chicken pitcher…and we just happen to have a chicken pitcher!
When Mr. Magnolia and I first got engaged, we received an engagement gift from a good friend of his who was living in Italy with her husband, a naval dentist. It was this adorable chicken pitcher, and a description of its history:
It was truly a lovely engagement gift to receive from overseas, and I’m so excited about my first spring decor item of the year!
