sweet strawberries

Well, I finally found the perfect enamelware container for my vintage strawberry decals I bought awhile back. 
What do you think? I was so excited when I found this red and white container, and that it was complete with a lid! 
They were meant to be together, and the strawberries add just the sweetest touch.
Perfect for the summertime, and would be cute for a summer picnic with yummy treats inside! 
Speaking of yummy treats...I made these strawberry and rosemary scones for a lunch I was having with a friend, and they were so delicious! Another sweet blogger shared making them, and even though I don't bake very often, they were so tempting. 
Here is the recipe link if you want to give make some! I didn't make the icing that is calls for, and I used unbleached flour, and maple sugar, which I just love! 
Of course, you have to have tea with your scones, so I thought I would share one of my favorite teas. It is delightful with cream and during the summer it makes a lovely iced tea. 
I am linking up with sweet Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday!! Head on over to check out some more lovely reds!!

    Oh Heather, what a thrilling find for you! It is just perfect for your Strawberry decals. You don't find a complete piece with both bottom and top, very often.

    How fun to make those heart scones for your friends visit. I will go and take a look at the recipe..I like how they have a nice height on them.

    Have a great day! xo

    Those yummy looking strawberry scones made me think of Alice in Wonderland and the nursery rhyme about the Queen of Hearts. My daughter Sascha is an "Alice" collector and when she finally gets engaged (soon I hope) we will be doing an Alice wedding theme and Tea Party shower. The scones would be a perfect touch!=D

    Yes! It appears that you found the exact right container to put your strawberry decals on. Good job girl! I have some vintage fruit decals that I'm about to put on a couple big glass jars...I fear that they will NOT be as cute as your enamelware! Good idea Heather!

    Heather, Heather, Heather! I have had a little black and white enamel tin with lid sitting with tags displayed in it for six months and never thought of putting a decal on it! CUTE! No decals at my house, I may have to copy you with Mod Podge!
