Maybe it is all the purple inspirations that I have been gathering up
for the paint for my daughters room but I am loving pale purple these days.
for the paint for my daughters room but I am loving pale purple these days.
I have a large bouquet of lilacs in the living room in a shabby white vase
but took just a couple small blooms and placed them into a little old blue antique bottle
So simple
Charming
It’s a quiet bouquet…
and only 2 or 3 small lilac blooms are all that are needed
to fill the jar and a small room with their scent.

which are absolutely sweet all by themselves.
Paired with an antique chocolate cup and saucer covered
in tiny little purple flowers
a perfect little vignette appeared on the shabby table in my office.
Just a quiet inspiration post (and practicing photography )to share the little bouquet
that is charming me while I work on a few pillows for the living room
and maybe a little ruffled creation.
😉
More on that soon!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Cuttings add such a nice touch of color. I also like to use white hydrangeas just like you show in your picture.

Love these pics, Courtney!! So pretty and I bet aromatic. This is one I don't have that I really wish I did. I have the jasmine that took 3 years, but was totally worth it! Wish I had a space to plant some of these lovlies, too, though!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!

I like the saying 'less is more' and in this case the beauty is in the simplicity. Beautiful photos Courtney.
