Stop and smell the roses...

Je t'embrasse...I hug you...
Do you like the vintage postcard? Found while hunting for treasure recently - short & sweet, just a little note to a love one, so touching...

We've added some more gorgeous table linens to the shop...


lots of table top loveliness...

A ribbon-work table mat, so delicate and the leaf design so intricate, it must have taken hours to make...

A lace edged table runner and round table mat set. Really beautiful...

Perfect for afternoon tea, two beautiful square tablecloths with embroidered roses....

Roses and hearts...

& roses and tendrils...

I promised myself I wouldn't mention the weather in this post. Apart from anything, we are so fed up with the unpredictability, hot & sunny one minute, cold & miserable the next. However, the roses have really been thriving this year with all this rain. Everywhere you look there are rose bushes weighed down with multiple blooms. Absolutely beautiful...& the scent...heavenly...


Just a selection of blooms from the Petit Pica garden...I adore how the petals are curled around each other in a tight bud and unfurl into such loveliness releasing their wonderful perfume...

Not just for the table...


Don't you think these doilies look like snowflakes?

If you think doilies and table mats are something Granny used, a bit old fashioned, for putting under a vase or protecting a table, then think again! That may have been the original use but now they are used in all types of ways. If you wish to use them traditionally, that's fine, but if not, here are some ideas to transform them into something new... 

  perhaps a pretty cushion cover.... 

bottom: chair, flowers, grapes

or a lovely unique ring pillow for a vintage wedding...


 or maybe frame and hang on the wall...


 or use to embellish and heirloom quilt...

 top: tulips, quilt, tin
bottom: left cushion, right cushion, wheat
All Petit Pica items shown above are now available in our shop...

 
 
top: dress, wallpaper, bowl, dancer
bottom: tree, rug, clock, chair 

the possibilities are endless....

Everything stops for tea...

Not many of us have time to dress up and "take tea" but we can make it a bit more special by using a pretty tablecloth or napkins. Here are a few ideas...no words...we'll let the photos speak for themselves...






Petit pica items listed above are currently available in our shop...




While out and about this week we found these cute heart tablecloth weights at Casa.
Are they great? They are going to be so useful this summer...
