Design Delights: Violas in French Newsprint

Violas in French Newsprint

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

It's been the usual rainy and gray weather here in Seattle today and I'm wishing for warm sunshine, ice tea and spring flowers on the patio. I saw these potted violas wrapped up in french newsprint on frolic yesterday and thought about having a spring tea with friends. Wouldn't these make beautiful gifts to give as well as pretty table centerpieces?

Cassie said...: I have to agree with you and Alli, such a pretty yet simple idea. I really am desperate to mix up my flowers indoors now and as much as I love tulips I am ready for a change.

Wouldn't it be lovely to have a blogging friends Spring tea - we all seemed so ready for it to arrive!
