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.
Courtney simply beautiful is right! Soooo pretty! Girlfriend did you make the slipcover for your french chair? I just love it! You have a stylists eye my friend! Happy Memorial day! Vanna
Anything to do with lavender is my favourite.

How lovely! I am all over purple and white this year. One of my favorite plantings is a white mandevilla underplanted with purple calibrachoa.
Courtney, last night I was browsing and didn't have time to comment on posts, but happen to share your post with my Husband who thought as I do, your photos in this post are breathtaking! Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I love the softness of the chair and starfish against the rustic basket then the prettiness of the lavender flowers. You did a wonderful job as always, xxx

White with lavender is so underrated! But those are my two garden colors. Adore the basket and the various backgrounds. What a pleasure to see your creativity. Jane

Beautiful photos! Simplicity is always very sophisticated as well.
Courtney!
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!

Those are beautiful. I almost bought a lavender plant the other day at the grocery store, but thought I might find some better ones at a nursery.
Very pretty flowers and the photos are also pretty. Thanks for sharing…..Julin
I'm crazy about that French chair! Lovely photos!
Courtney,
This lavender flower is beautiful and a perfect match to the natural wicker. Very pretty! Thanks for linking it up at HSH!
Sherry
very pretty and summery. hope you had a great weekend. Thanks for sharing this at Transformations and Treasures!
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!
