Hello,
I am sorry I did not post last week! I had commitments leaving me very little time for anything. However, I did manage to visit a sweet lavender farm a week and a half ago with my children, which inspired this purple hued post. It was beautiful to walk around and see all the varieties of lavender. I do love purples in the garden like agapanthus, buddleja, salvia and hydrangeas to name only a few. I have not used purple inside my home but I admire it when I see it used in interiors. If I was to use a shade of purple I would pair it with lots of white and maybe a touch of black or grey. This reminds me of Tine K Home's catalog which I enjoy browsing through again and again. I love Scandinavian design, maybe that could inspire another post!
I always like to leave you with a few links for some of the items that I use in my photographs. The vintage ribbons and threads came from the California Millinery Supply Co. The Penelope Hobhouse book in the first image is called Garden Designs, I bought this soft cover version a long time ago and could only find the hard copy online now. Some of the fresh flowers came from the LA Flower District. My delicious plums and the rest of the flowers came from the farmers market.
Have a great week and thank you for stopping by.
