TWO DAYS AND COUNTING. . . .

SO hard to believe that all of the planning, the meetings, the inspiration and the creating for a house walk, is almost here.   I just wanted to show you what this morning's inspiration brought to my outside fountain area.  Amy Cox and I brought out all of my French elements. . . . . . The large mustard pots on the right are called confit pots and were found out at the booths at Cligencourt.  Others, the square terra cotta pots, are called melon pots and are over a hundred years old, found in Aix en Provence.   Mosses, herbs, lavender and birds nest are right from my own back yard. . . . . .(fyi, the nest was abandonded and from last year. . . .)

It just doesn't get better than this when you are working

with real antiques from France.

Two friends stopped by at the end of the day for a well deserved

glass of wine. " OMG  I feel like I am in France!!"  So I served

some French wine!

To the bottom left is a bowl filled with a collection

of baby lettuces. . . .

Flanking either side of the back door will be the Rose Scented Geraniums

which have been planted inside of a white birch wreath.  Do you see the little

moss bird sitting on the wreath?

                                                                                  

A gentle reminder that a tiny woven wall pocket

does make an impact!

I just finished the dining room tonight and I couldn't be

more pleased with the results. . .

More tomorrow!

AND

I will be blogging all of the house walk homes starting tomorrow at 1:00!

Still planting to do outside in the morning and a tea cart to paint as well.

GOOD NIGHT!
