just a l'il bit of red makes me smile

My thing right now is little bits of red. Love the little settee in this bottom picture and also the table's centerpiece.

seating for three

A smart and pretty solution if you're short on space. Seating for three with a lovely view of lots of pretty white orchids--which make the table look like it's meant to be there. From style files.

a summer centerpiece

What a simply beautiful idea for a window box or centerpiece. You could line the middle of your summer table with several of these cans of flowers. Brought to you from the camera of la porte rouge. The photography of this blog is gorgeous.

love nest

I'm thinking that little nest is a really cute idea for easter baskets or even valentine's day next year. These images are from a wedding posted at snippet and ink. The nests were at each place setting. They would also be cute favors to go along with this invitation I posted a while back. Love the bird cages as centerpieces. I always love inventive centerpieces.

Just Hangin Out

I love these hanging ideas for birthday parties or baby showers. You could even use the first one in a children's room with the child's name or a sweet little word like . . . hmmm. . . bebe.

Floral Supplies

Very good prices at jamali garden on floral, garden and entertaining items--pots, urns, trays, bowls and more. . .

I would like this to be the table setting at my next dinner party. What a perfect way to have spring bulbs inside your house. And of course I love this. . . (because I love green.)
