Decorating for Independence Day ~ Garland

Independence Day is this Saturday.  Time to pull out the red, white, and blue!  A garland around a doorway or over a mirror is a great first step.  Don't you agree?!

Tablescape ~ A Terrace in Paris

Dining on a terrace in Paris, oh what a lovely dream!  The Tea Room is closed for a couple of days but will open again later this week.  Until then, enjoy a cup of tea outdoors by candlelight.

Pink ~ Spring's Garden Beauties

As spring draws to a close, I thought it would be nice to view once again inspirational photographs of pink beauties from the garden.  Whether that means a carpet of petals on the lawn, a floral arrangement in a vase, or densely packed blooms in a flower box, there are no words to describe the beauty of season.  There is only one thing to say . . .

 

"Thank you, Spring."

Tablescape ~ Hydrangeas and Seashells

 

Whether the start of summer is days away or in full swing, a combination of hydrangeas and seashells make a lovely centerpiece.  More specifically, blue-green hydrangea and white shells celebrate time spent at the beach.  Beautiful and refreshing!
