Spring...in our hearts
I don't know if it's because we have had such a cold winter {and I know lots of you still are} ~ but we are so looking forward to Spring! I have heard from many of you, that you are already making plans for your patios, gardens and balconies....we are adding wonderful pots, planters and all things Jardin or you as fast as we can.
I put together this Grand Romance Bouquet for those of us who just can't wait! I chose beautiful, high quality faux Botanicals, that look wonderfully real, in bright, Spring colors. Just put this arrangement in a large vase, and make your entry, living or dining room happy!
Another way to bring Spring to your home, is with these outstanding Antique Botanical hand finished Chromolithographs from the late 1800's. No one will ever recreate the exquisite deep colors of 19th century Chromolithography, just gorgeous. These, from a disbound book, are simply stunning, framed, they will refresh and re~energize your decor. Be sure to check them out!
There back in stock! Antique Victorian Seedling Terre Cuite Pot, direct from a European Conservatory. We were thrilled to find a small supply of these old hand made pots, so beautifully made, with wonderful patina. A favorite of many gardeners, put a few on your stack of antique gardening books, place little votives inside and march them down your table for a special dinner, and, of course, they make great seedling pots or for small plants.
We love to celebrate all the days that are special, don't you? To help you with all your Spring luncheons, teas, parties and holidays ahead, we have just the thing for you. Easter isn't far away, either.
We love our Spring selection of Heirloom quality Porcelain to delight your guests this Spring, and for you to cherish and pass on to your children and grandchildren. Handpainted Berry Sets, Biscuit Jars, and much more, recent estate finds, these are just what you need to chase those grey days away.
Wonderful hand painted detailing, this Morning Glory Celery Tray is one of my personal favorites. Use it for display, at the table, but also on your vanity to hold your pearls and rings. Divine!
Green up your mantel, to get a head start on Spring! I decorated our mantel here at home with inexpensive glass containers filled with moss and our Chartreuse Green Eggs and Little Nests. You could add some of our Bird Votives too, for an extra sweet touch.
