There's nothing like a little
French Garden Inspiration
for spring!
On a recent flea marketing outing, Debbie @Confessions of a Plate Addict and I
saw some beautiful spring garden inspiration with a dose of Frenchiness
thrown in!
The pictures say it all....white, chippiness, statues, wicker, French writing on pillows,
lavender, hydrangeas, etc.
Unusual mirror and lamps, and a container of fresh cut pussy willow....
Lavender in a bucket - who can resist!
Unusual bench...
Lovely display cabinet.....
A real fountain with rose petals floating in it....sigh.....
hydrangeas in a bucket - another simple beauty...
And, now for a few miscellaneous interesting things...

A gorgeous French table and chair set....

cute little salt and pepper tureens!
I have a weakness for pillows, pitchers and baskets, and painted furniture!
and topiaries and old books.....

Hope you got some inspiration for spring!

Wow, how funny, Linda! Except for teh first few of mine...it's all different shots! I didn't see that tureen S&P or they would have gone home with me! Wanna go back? lol Great photos! Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie
Linda, Oh wow..I can see how you and Debbie could get into some serious shopping at Queen of Hearts. Love those buckets of lavender. I was looking at lavender plants yesterday at Home Depot. Hmmmm.
The vignettes at QoH always amaze me. Great photos. Hope you have a great weekend... you have me inspired to think about what I'll do to make the deck look less like a deck and more like a French/English garden. Wish me luck.
Linda this is too funny. I just posted a comment on Debbie's blog telling her I'm moving to Georgia because you guys have the best antique shops and that I wanted every thing in that first photo!! Now I have my eye at that lamp in the last photo!! What a fun day of shopping you guys must of had! Martina
I just got a little weak-kneed myself looking at these pictures, Linda! I love all that stuff, too, and I probably would have spent too much time and money in this shop!
I bet you girls just had a ball! I saw so many things that I would have brought home with me and I'm looking forward to seeing what you and Debbie found. I know you couldn't have come home empty handed in a place like this!!!
XO,
Jane
Ok, I am so jealous. You two have way too much fun. Love all of these pictures and I could drool all day. Can't wait to see your chairs. Hugs, Marty
Is it wrong to salivate over home decor???
GORGEOUS!!
I would love to go shopping with you two. Thank you for bringing us back pictures, I loved it.
I enjoyed both Debbie and your trip for wonderful spring inspiration. Each of you had different pictures. Loved the blue with roses needlepoint pillow; and of course, the brown transferware. Sally
Gorgeous gorgeous inspirations!! Love them all!! :)
So many pretties ... a real pick me up ... thanks Linda!

Linda,
So-o-o-o-o what did you bring home with you??? Lovely girls day out. I adore all the photos you took, but had I gone along it would have been extremely hard to leave that Frenchy table and dining chairs behind! Be still my heart! In time, I tell myself, in time! Thank you for sharing more photos of this wonderful day out with Debbie!
Fondly,
Pat
Linda, This looks like my kind of shop with lots of wonderful items. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Sherry
I love looking around...makes me want to go shopping! And the lavender in the bucket really calls my name! ♥
I love the old buckets with flowers in them. And the display cabinet is gorgeous. Wonderful inspiration!
I would go broke in that store, so many perfect things!! Loved seeing it all!
I loved the two benches, the baskets, and the little lamb. Everything is simply beautiful!
Ann-Marie
Fun finds! A great way to make happy memories. Hugs
Linda, my sister and I went yesterday. I really prefer this store over Scott's. Easier to look and cheaper!
Oh I could get into some serious trouble there! Love those boxwood pyramids, well love it all actually.
