A weathered looking but new wicker basket
holds a bouquet of
delightful shades of purple & soft whites.
A simply beautiful pairing…
I found these lovelies
~ also known as Sea Lavender ~
at the grocery store -$4.00 for a bouquet
& was inspired by the shades of purple
and their simple blooms
In charming wicker
they are perfect
for a farmhouse table
On a
french chair
or
adorning chippy old cupboard doors.
The peeling paint is a perfect shabby backdrop to the dainty purple flowers
Statice flowers make me think of wonderful
days at the beach…
smelling the fresh air,
digging my toes in the warm sand,
listening to the waves on the shore
so
inspiring
and
simply beautiful.
Farmhouse table tutorial coming your way~
As soon as I get a break in the weather for a few photos…
will be sharing the how-to.
Hope your week is off to a great start!

They are beautiful, Courtney! There is a simplicity in their beauty {and vice versa} and they look wonderful in all the areas you've shown. Supermarkets are carrying really nice flowers these days. One of the stores I frequent has quite a flower area set up.

You have too much fun with your photo shoots, don't you?
I love the colors and the lighting and the softness in your pictures. The subject matter is delightfully endearing, too!
I have a basket similar to this on my front door and love it every time I see it. Of course, my flowers are faux, but don't tell anyone 🙂
Thank you for the beautiful inspiration!
Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Aren't those purple flowers amazing in that basket. And that basket looks great in all settings seems to me. Where did you find it? I've been wanting something like that. Thanks for joining my party.

Gorgeous! You always find such lovely flowers. I'd die for some little basket arrangements like these around the house, but I'm sure my cat would destroy them. Sigh!
