Tea in the garden!
gorgeous vase from Moustiers in
the Vaucluse, Provence,
one of a pair my daughter found at a flea
market near St. Tropez
the madeleines and the Minton teacup
set on the French lace cloth in front
of the fountain
some of the old French lace tea cloths I've collected
hand washed and drying in the sun
(I'm channelling my "inner French grandmother"!)
also making an appearance: vintage Japanese teapot
and Art Nouveau silver Tiffany service
the mark on the bottom of
the Moustiers vase
although I don't see my mark on this
chart of the old authentic Provencal
pottery marks...do you?
peeking through the lavender at the
linens drying in the breezes
(ok, it's really sage...but looks a lot
like lavender!)

Nothing wrong with a bit of "inner Granny" ;-) I love all those vintage cups and purple&orange colour combinations, really stunning. However, seeing that it's now very autumnal here, black is the order of the day I'm afraid :-D Have a lovely end of week, Love from London x
ReplyDeleteMerci pour le bot mot! (as you would say!)
