TAKE ME STRAIGHT TO THE SPRING COLLECTION! >
It's time to refresh and lighten our homes, bring in some fresh decor accents, plant new things in the garden and fill at least one vase with a bouquet of gorgeous flowers. Here at home, John and I are re-imagining our back garden borders, trying to decide what to dig up, and what to add. {Our garden - photographed a while ago- is to be featured in This Old House Magazine early this year...so exciting!} Spring is filled with gatherings, and invitations, so I've collected some wonderful things with a European flair to bring a gentle spring accent to your home. There are also plenty of beautiful gifts for giving. {or keeping.} First, I'd like to show you some of the faux luxury floral arrangements in the LES BELLES FLEURS ATELIER. I get so many requests for more of the permanent botanical accents for your home, that I re-opened the atelier this season.It doesn't take much to bring the romance of the garden inside. This Romance Francaise bouquet brings the soft colors of spring inside, and it's completely wilt-proof!
We're ready for hosting our family and friends for casual dinners outdoors, and for spring holidays. The co-ordinating towels and beautiful bone china mugs make for a wonderful casual setting! I use the towels in the garden for big napkins at mealtimes, or drying my hands off when I wash them under the outdoor faucet.
One of my very best friends in life moved away a few years ago. She LOVES chickens, and this design, of the quirky Speckled Maran Chickens dotted with white eggs reminded me of her. So much so, that I had to buy it and send the apron, towel, and oven gloves to her for her birthday. {I miss her terribly, but am so thankful for the telephone and email!}
A handy pocket at the front is perfect for holding your utensils and cell phone while you cook. Matching tea towels are the perfect accompaniments for a co-ordinated look while you whip up your world famous culinary delights! Adjustable neck strap. A perfect host or hostess gift for country chefs or a friend who keeps chickens.
There are plenty surprises for the Spring Collection still arriving! More are "on the road" towards FrenchGardenHouse and you.
I hope you will find something perfect to make your home what you want it to be. A beautiful, personal space where you love to be, and where you can entertain your family and friends in gracious style!

Thank you Norma, all of us can do with a little touch of spring, right? A little “re=fresh!”

Ginger, thank you. I love the roses too…they look realistic, especially with the “faux” water! I love the one we have on our antique French vanity.

Love everything, Lidy! Especially those faux roses. Need to do some budget fudging!

oh my what beautiful items and thank you for sharing

Pam, thank you. Aren’t they adorable? I’m so sorry about your roses, and I feel for you. Somehow this past year much of our borders died out, after many years. Not sure what happened there, but now we have the happy opportunity to plan and plant a fresh look too.
The magazine feature isn’t out yet, I’m hoping to hear soon when it prints. Happy gardening!

Love the aprons and tea towels, I want them all! I especially love the garden apron. It is still to cold here for much work outside but thinking about it makes me happy. Unfortunately I have sick roses so they are all being removed this week and new soil coming in. I am not sure I have it in me to plant roses again so I am looking at other options. Somehow I missed the blog on your garden, please let me know where to find it

Wonderful bees, my favorite. Lidy it is cold here in Colorado and snowy. It doesn’t stop snowing until the middle of May, so we can’t plant until after May 15th. When you told us that your roses are starting to bloom I was envious. Won’t see my David Austins until June. I might have to purchase the garden apron for myself as I’m always trying to locate where I put my snippers. Lovely post!
