Are you as excited to celebrate spring as I am?
The weather here has been so beautiful lately, we are {finally} outside
in the morning with our coffee and at lunch time for a quick salad.
The garden is starting to come back to life,
and every time a flower lifts its pretty head
and says "hello! I'm here!" it makes me so happy.

I'd love to keep in touch!
For this little "drinks" table setting in the garden
I layered a small circular table with an antique French sheet
and gathered some of my favorite antique French pieces for the rest.
What could be better for a spring or Easter table?
The flowers are simply arranged in an antique French enamelware pitcher.
They are all my spring favorites:
tulips, freesia, wax flowers and statice.
Yours too?
Antique Hand Painted French Enameled Pitcher
Keeping the flowers all to one color family always works.
The tulips are such a beautiful color, aren't they?
And those freesia smell heavenly.
Using French Country antiques in the garden
is always a pretty idea.
Our Country Gardener Tea Towels {using as napkins!} with their charming design
of rabbits, wheel barrows, watering cans, cabbages
and seedlings add an amusing touch.
This arrangement is one everyone can do.
I cut almost all the flowers the same length
and let the tulips go where they wanted.
{not that there is a choice!}
I hope that as you are planning your family's Easter
you will pick up a little bundle or two of fresh flowers
and arrange them to your liking
flowers make everything more beautiful!

Absolutely darling, showcasing all the beautiful antique wares
It is always a treat to visit you in your beautiful French Spring garden. I am always in awe of the beautiful containers that you use for your floral creations and the exquisite antique accents on the table and in the garden. You truly have captured both the French and California vibe of Easter/Spring in the garden. I am enjoying your sunshine too…it’s been a bit dreary here to say the least. Now I so love the flowers, but must say I LOVE the pitcher! I spy a “coming attraction” …. Happy Monday Lidy…my favorite Mondays are sharing it with my wonderful Monday Morning Blooms friends!
