My trip to the Atelier de Campagne Container Sale

Last weekend I took a little road trip down to the Santa Cruz area for the spring

Atelier de Campagne

 container sale.

Not only is the countryside beautiful but I was not disappointed with the wonderful displays and unique French items from overseas.

Wooden spools with pretty thread in many different colors.

Stacks of metal olive baskets.

Succulents everywhere!

This outdoor room was beautiful!

Urns reflected in a large mirror.

 Settee covered in linen pillows.

I love apple tree blossoms.

Look at all the statuary!

I could use several of these on my front porch.

I love how this piece framed the peonies.

So pretty.....

Delicious strawberries for a snack at the end of our shopping experience. 

 We were warmly recieved, I highly reccommend this sale.  It happens twice a year.  You can also find Atelier de Campagne at Antique shows up and down California.

Thank you Atelier de Campagne!

The First Day of Spring

Wow! Is it already March 20th?  The first day of Spring?

Spring is my favorite season. 

 I love to see all the trees budding, the flowers blooming, hear the birds singing and to see a little more of the sun shining.

Ever since I was a little girl I would love to go out into the yard to pick flowers and bring them in and arrange them in vases.  I would sometimes pretend that I worked in a florist.  As I got a little older, I was asked to help "do" the flowers for a wedding or two.....

 Anyway, our Camellia bushes this year are FULL of blooms and I could not resist cutting some branches and bringing them in for a center piece on the table.

These were not skillfully arranged, they were simply placed in this ironstone pitcher however they fit.  I like the more natural look this created.  It looks much like they do on the bushes themselves.

So here we have some of my favorite things.  Ironstone, rusty metal, primitive wood, cement, vintage linen & lace and of course flowers.

The wood beekeepers's tray came from Atelier de Campagne.

That cool little metal tray has been sold already. 

 I know the new owner will enjoy it as much as I did.

Do you love Spring also?

This centerpiece has already been changed out.  Things sell and I get to create a new one!

If you ever see something here that you like, don't wait too long to come into the store.
