Friday's Fancies

Well, lovelies, time for another Friday's Fancies!

*

My mind and heart are longing to get out to my garden and get my fingers in the dirt! So today's Friday's Fancies are all Garden-related!

* {clockwise from top left}

1. I absolutely love and need some charming little herb garden markers! And what could be better than this Vintage Silverware Garden Marker Set from Wooden Hive!

*

2. This original signed photographic print entitled "Traces" by alice b. gardens is so soft and romantic, it makes me wish I had a lovely, distressed wrought-iron fence as beautiful as this one!

*

3. Everyone needs a sweet little gardening apron such as this pretty linen and doily pocket apron from Prairie Seed! So lovely and practical at the same time!

*
4. All the little birdies in your garden would love this White Shabby Chic Distressed Birdhouse from Cottage Rose! Great for all your feathered friends and so pleasing to the eye!

*

After working in the garden all day, it's time to show it off by hosting a Spring Garden Party!

*

Here are some absolute MUSTS for a relaxing evening spent with friends and family.

*

1. Top sugary-sweet cupcakes with these beautiful Edible Butterflies from Sugar Robot! Both absolutely eye-pleasing and yummy besides!

*

2. Light the garden path with a set of four Mason Jar Lanterns from The Masonry. So simple and cottagy! It reminds me of days spent canning golden peaches! Repurposed for casting a soft glow in the fading evening!

*

3. Drinking any beverage from a lovely bone china teacup and saucer such as this one from Alice's Looking Glass makes for a charming experience! An elegant addition to a relaxing party.

*

4. This Oilcloth Pennant from Magpie & Cake is the most perfectly cheery welcoming banner to an evening sure to be filled with good food, laughter and an evening cricket concert!

*
Last, {but MOST CERTAINLY not least!} are these lovely garden-inspired lovelies!

1. Feel like a gardening princess any day of the week with this beautiful felted whimsical crown from Cosa Bello! Perfect for little girl's dress up, an enchanted occasion, or just to wear while you're mopping the kitchen floor! ;)

*

2. Bring the garden in to you with these Petite French Farmhouse Pillows from my adobe cottage. These lovely pillows lend a sense of rusticity, comfort, and farmhouse appeal to any decor!

*

3. At the end of a long day of gardening, reach for this English Soap Rose {yes, it's SOAP!} from Satin and Birch. So realistic, if I set one of these on my bathroom sink, I'm not sure if I would use it, or stare at it and smell it every time I entered the room! It's SO BEAUTIFUL!

*

Well, lovelies, I hope you will enjoy this gardening season as much as I will! And I hope these little fancies have inspired you!

*

Well, I'm off! Because I am planning a Garden Party at my house next Thursday! So I'll be trimming, mowing, mulching, cleaning {my house}, planting, and preparing until then!

*

Have a LOVELY, LOVELY weekend!

Fondly, Kate
