Quail Eggs & Ironstone











I like a lot of things earthy and rustic. And maybe that's a good, because March is still brown in my home town. So I'm celebrating the arrival of the first month of Spring with the colors of earth tones and linen.









A riot of pastels will soon be the order of the day. But Edith's Country Diary still reflects the earliest hues for her March page. 





Our nearby fields are under plow, and it's easy to imagine a horse in harness passing by turning the earth into rows and ribbons of brown as everything else in the natural world is turning right along with it.

The Cavallini & Co. desk calendar shows a different gorgeous animal for each month. Time for a new page!




January was one of my favorites.






















Thanks for joining in the celebration!
I hope your new week is great!

Jacqueline

  6. Jacqueline,
    Adore the touch of brown ribbon around the bundle of ivory envelopes! The sepia tones of the vintage pages of your books and calendar are so exquisite. Paired against the freshly laundered and starched linens makes such a beautiful sight to behold! Truly inspirational!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  7. Are those real eggs? I think I need to buy a dozen brown eggs, blow them out, and splatter some brown on them so I can have quail eggs too. I think I would even like that change up instead of pastels.

  12. Beautifully done.

    I LOVE brown and white and hues in between the two.

    It IS the perfect color till the Wearin O' the Green, for me at least.

    Very lovely.
