The Color Purple

Mary Anne is playing house again. . . . . actually, we ARE having guests for 3 days and I am just trying to get ahead of the game!  Lilacs are blooming in the yard and it was the perfect inspiration to starting my table.  I had also inherited some plum colored bottles and wanted to used those as well.  .  .  .and so I began, cutting, layering, selecting and editing. . .

The color purple, texture of rattan, vintage silver wine glasses, (being

used for frozen Bloody Mary's,) Lilacs from the garden, vintage

votives in a soft shade of purple, all gently embracing a table

fit for a Spring breakfast.

Purple Ikat placemats gently peeking around the square

rattan chargers.

The HOST end of the table. . . .

Taking shelter under the Lilacs

Candlelight and the color purple. . . .

In harmony, the textures, the colors and the green leaves of the Lilacs.

Fresh Topiaries

The gentleness of still another Spring tablesetting.

Tomorrow morning will bring more coffee cup walks in the garden, more leisurely

strolls through arbors with more Springtime discoveries to inspire.

It is to be warm here tomorrow.  What will inspire you to create as the

sun rises to greet you?
