Orchids in Bloom

The orchids at Mitch's Flowers have been gorgeous lately, so I had to get in on the action. 

I delivered my Kiss that Frog planter to Mitch's a couple weeks ago, and it was filled with the most gorgeous colors of orchids for my spring time dining table. It does not get much better looking than this.

Now, I hope they last longer than usual. I am never a green thumb when it comes to growing orchids. I wish I'd figure out the secret.

Real flowers make me super happy!

Orchids in Bloom, y'all!

Laissez les bon temps rouler {Orchids & Feathers}

Once again, Mitch's Flowers to the rescue!!! I love the recent dining table arrangement that the girls of Mitch's created for my table. 

The arrangement consists of green and purple orchids along with plumes of purple, green, and gold. The arrangement is housed in one of my favorite containers from Kiss That Frog available through Hazelnut New Orleans.

I like the fact that the arrangement will last through the entire Mardi Gras season (if the orchids don't die first). I have an awful track record with growing any orchid.

French Baker's Shelves

I recently moved the French baker's shelves to the parlor and reorganized the shelves. It is always fun to accessorize the shelves.

The top shelf holds a Hermes bust with one of my own NOLA Couture bow ties. He wears a vintage crown. A container from Kiss That Frog studio available at Hazelnut is filled with faux green hydrangeas. The framed oyster art is by a blogger friend Tery Hodges. Her etsy shop is Lure Coastal Designs.

The second shelf hold two sea urchin bowls by my favorite Alison Evans also available through Hazelnut on Magazine Street. A collection of turtle shells (one converted into a lamp) were all purchased through the Timothy De Clue Collection in Seattle. A Baies Diptyque candle always created just the perfect scent.

The third shelf holds a wooden box filled with heirloom silverware. An Ashley Longshore "Bottle Fed" tray corrals vintage apothecary jars from Shaun Smith Home. Another Kiss That Frog stag urn and vintage English oak bowl holding sunglasses sit on the shelf.

The lowest shelf holds a collection of coffee table books.
