Hyacinth vases were first used in the Georgian period but became very popular in Victorian times
they came in lots of different shapes, sizes and colors
1950s glass Hyacinth vases with frosted & gilt bands
My week started good and I feel good.We are trying to eat healthy .
I did have the idea to make some fresh soup on saturdays.., going to the market in the morning, getting some fresh veggies & bread. And then make some soup when we get home. Any soup ideas?

You can't go wrong with tomato-&-veggie-soup!

My hyacinths will just not grow! They've moved about 4mm since Christmas Day! Love the 50s vases for them. Emma
My first hyacinth is blooming, the others will take a while, they need some sunshine. Love yours and the the beautiful vases...I am home for the 2nd day because of the huge ice/snowstorm, made a bean/pea and lentil soup, made it quite thick and baked some cornbread, just right for a cold winter's day...My neighbor dropped off some Taco soup, was very delicious...
I have here grown a hyacinth in my home- I think the monkeys would quite enjoy it-
I made soup every Sat- We have chicken for Shabbat dinner on Fridays so I use that as my base to make a stock- Some of our regulars are sweet potato and cauliflower soup-
Have a great day!

I really like the vases in the first picture, the hyacinth flowers smell so nice.
Can't go wrong with squash soup, it's easy, see http://noviontheside.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-squash-soup.html Hope you like it!
I'll be on the look out. I would never have guessed the purpose of these vases without this post. Yay to you.
I never paid them any notice and now I wish I had one!!! With the weather being so nasty, it's lovely to have flowers inside.
Hoi Kay, wat zijn ze schattig.
Je weet het ik vindt kleine vaasjes te leuk!!
Deze zijn superleuk.
warme groet,

Great collection ;-)
I have a vase like on the first row in blue glass, and I had noe idea it was for hyasinth! Now I've learned something new today.
Lovely hyacinth vases - I didn't know they were used as long ago as that! Just about to have tomato and lentil soup :)
You have so many of these vases! Pretty. I like simple vegetarian lentil soup. I put in onions, celery, carrots, lentils, canned diced tomatoes, chopped kale, salt, pepper, thyme. Sometimes I add a little bit of another grain or bean - like barley or split pea.
your hyacinth vases ´collection is wonderful - I love each of them!
soups? fish soup with fennel, carrots, leek, tomatoes and a little bit tomatopuree is my favourite!
You have a lovely collection of vases. I collect old finnish ones by Tamara Aladin and Helena Tynell.
Warm soup sounds delicious.
I have never seen hyacinths vases before. Awesome! My hyacinths are blooming in ordinary flowerpot.
I suggest tomato soup with fresh basill and Parmesan cheese.
wat heb je een mooie collectie vaasjes!
en wat betreft soep, ik heb afgelopen week een jamie oliver soep ( paprika tomaat) gemaakt. helemaal hmmm.
gorgeous colours in the glass and the flowers- beautiful!
Lovely vases. I will have to keep on the look out for some of those. Happy week.
Such pretty vases...such beautiful flowers.
