The sweetest little bunch of Forget Me Not flowers were just so sweet this morning I could not pass them up. After the ferry crossing and we get onto the island, we drive around to a variety of our favorite farm stands. It is always a fun surprise to see what flowers will be available and which catch my eye. These were the perfect Flower Friday blooms.
A simple French garden table filled with vintage British Wedgwood creamy pottery. I have a major weakness for it. Think it is as beautiful with nothing in it as it is filled with blooms or milk or candles. In some way, that is how I look at most decorative objects. That they are utilitarian—able to do many tasks and still appear handsome all along the way.
Just In, on this Wine & Dine Wednesday, non-alcoholic vermouth from the fine folks at Eleven Madison Park restaurant in New York City. This aperitif is made with Niagara grape juice. Lovely chilled over ice. Loving the bottle shape and graphics too. A really fun host/hostess gift.
The flowering jasmine that found its way into the apartment oh so many years ago when we left the window open just the tiniest crack when we went to New York for a stay. It has now become a truly magical part of our home in the city. All year long the vines twist and turn creating a beautiful tableau among the shutters. But when Spring arrives, it begins to bloom and the flowers are just sensational. The scent greets you the moment you open the front door.
A super simple single vase of one type of flower is simplicity in spades and brings so much happiness throughout the week and makes every meal at the dining table extra special.
