French Country Style

 

 

French country style oozes charm and relaxed sophistication.
Antique pieces are cleverly mixed with rustic, reproduction, 
vintage and and flea market treasures.
Key elements that give French country houses warmth and character are ~
rustic timbers, worn marble, travertine floors, woven baskets,
natural fabrics, fresh flowers and family heirlooms.

Catch Of The Day

We have a pretty river near where we live
which is great for fishing ~
and when the fish aren't biting
it's the perfect spot for afternoon tea
and relaxing in the sun!

Entertaining Under The Stars

With all of this warm, balmy weather we have been having,

it's the perfect time to entertain outdoors under the stars.

Hang lanterns and fairy lights in the trees,

set the table with candles and tealights

and you will be in for a magical evening!

Summer Fresh

Today I have been dreaming of all things fresh and summery:-

lunch alfresco and chilled white wine

garden picked flowers and impromptu visitors

porch swings and warm summer evenings

long days and homemade lemonade.

Valentine's Day Romance

 

I love some old fashioned romance on Valentine's Day!

I am talking flowers and chocolates,
a long, relaxing bath with essential oils
breakfast in bed and
a romantic, home cooked, candlelit dinner.

I would be very excited to receive a box 
of those gorgeous heart shaped macarons! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Treats

 

There is nothing more romantic than 
home baked treats for a loved one on Valentine's Day.

With only one day to go ...
why don't you whip up a batch of heart shaped cookies
or make some cupcakes decorated with pink frosting and sugar hearts.
