Country Style in White

 

When it comes to country living,

you can never have too much white!

I never get sick of two things ~

white interiors and white flowers.

A Springtime Afternoon

 

 

Spring is such a beautiful time of year.

I just love the longer, warmer days.

I love days filled with blue skies, sunshine and the scent of jasmine in the air.

It makes me feel like running through fields of daisies,

having tea parties in the garden,

and filling the house with gorgeous cut flowers from the garden!

A Trip to Provence

Vicki Archer's home from "My French Life'

 

I have very fond memories of Provence all of which came flooding back after recently reading Vicki Archer's beautiful book 'My French Life'. I love everything about Provence ~ from the fields of lavender and sunflowers to it's vine covered rolling hills and olive groves. I love the charm of the villages with their cobbled streets, narrow alleys, shady plane trees and crumbling buildings with their blue timber shutters. The markets are full of colour and vibrancy - the smell of freshly baked bread, dried lavender and handmade soap to tempt you. Your trip will be well rewarded with local wine, olives and honey, fresh herbs and creamy cheeses. The colours of Provence are also intoxicating, there are splashes of purple, blue and yellow everywhere you look. If you don't have a trip to Provence planned in the near future then pick up a copy of one of Vicky Archer's books and let your imagination wander!

Heavenly Blue

 

 

 

Today I'm loving pretty shades of powdery blue.

Combined with whites, soft greys or neutrals

it's a perfect colour scheme for a country house.

A colour that works beautifully for

decor, accessories, table settings and flowers.

Eternally fresh, calming and soothing on the eye!
