The same colors keep turning up for me this spring. That didn't really occur to me until now. Green is a natural choice this time of year, of course. And pink is so often found in cottage style to go with it.
A little mint green chippy table is the foundation for it all, and the inspiration for this first weekend in May. I wanted a bit of ironstone for a farmhouse feeling, and a cheery embroidered towel to tie the colors together.
A simple ironstone pitcher is at home anywhere.
I never get tired of beautifully patterned transferware. A big washstand bowl can be used for display in numberless ways.
The romantic flowers on this piece never fail to please me. I like the simple motifs on the outside as well as the allover pattern on the inside.
A favorite vintage crocheted cloth adds to the spring romance. . . .
Are you enjoying a few of your favorite things this week too? It's been such a busy couple of weeks! I've been happily buzzing around finding wonderful things to stock my Cabin & Cottage corner. I haven't spent much time on the blog, but I've so much enjoyed your visits and comments. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you stopped by!
A lovely weekend to you!

OOOh I so love mint green with pale pink,especially roses. We have those 2 colours in our bedroom and I never tire of them. We spent the day in the garden too. We went shopping for more roses, but they won't be at the garden centre until next week so bought another hibiscus. That makes 6, another of my favourite screening trees. They are still blooming even though it's Autumn. x

The pink container the roses are in sure does play up their pretty colour. The light mint green is a nice pairing with the pink and I like the embroidered towel.
ReplyDeleteCame across your name on a blog last week as someone was commenting on all your gorgeous linens.

You have inspired me. I have a bench I put in the yard and after seeing your sweet vignette I know what I want to put on in.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Jacqueline, this is gorgeous eye candy and I LOVE every element---that sweet mint green table is adorable, as are the linens, pink container of roses, wicker basket, rustic watering can, and that large bowl is so beautiful!!! All your photos of the bits and pieces of your vignette are fabulous, and I especially liked the one of the whole thing!! I love seeing how it all looks together and it is, of course, perfectly beautiful! Kay
ReplyDeleteA lovely pink and green post Jaqueline..
ReplyDeleteMy pink roses are blooming at Rose cottage.
I love your linens and cottens.
I am going to visit your shop..

It's impossible to pick one item to love from these photos, Jacqueline. I love them all. And they go so beautifully together.. your usual painterly touch. If hard-pressed to choose, I'd say the wash basin. What a pretty pattern, and I love that the inside is different from the outside. So wonderful and unexpected. Is the little container holding the rose plant made of tin? That's so pretty! Pale green and pink certainly captures spring in my book.
ReplyDeleteI am totally in love with everything about this photo shoot! I went through a phase where I skipped pink things, but now I adore them!
ReplyDeleteOh wow... what a great bowl!, and of course the ironstone pitcher is good anywhere... pretty staging too!
