Merci Paris goes green and yellow for Spring

 

One of our favorite shops Merci in Paris changes it up for Spring this year.  They have switched out the little red mini for green grass, a yellow farm truck and beautiful flowers.  I am sure it is so amazing to see in person.  The switch was made with the expertise of  David Jeannerrot and the team at Les Mauvaises Graines, check out their interview with him here.  Just another reason to stop by the shop if you are visiting Paris, it has become a destination in itself,  and make sure you take a few moments to have a snack in their little bookshop cafe too if you are there.

Spring tea and sweets... with Rocq

 

I know you have heard me talk about Rocq Macarons time and time again.  Well now they are making little sweets just for Whole Foods Markets, and we got to have a little peek at what they have been up to.  They have some amazing new macaron flavors for Spring too.  We decided to have a little tea party to celebrate our love for them last week - a little welcome if you will.

 Check out the new Spring flavors are available via the Rocq Macaron site and in Whole Foods Stores across the US.

weekend wishes...

 

We are looking forward to a semi relaxed weekend here.  There is a little rain in the schedule so maybe we can get somethings done around the house too.  I fell for these little beauties this week at the market and they made an appearance in our photo shoot that we did on Friday too (more on that next week).  

Here are a few things that I came across this week...

Gorgeous French Country wedding inspiration.

I am in love with these little puffy beds..  hum where could I use one or two?

Homemade donuts.. umm yes please!

A BIG THANK YOU to Shari at Little Blue Deer for the facelift on the blog!  I love it and I hope you do too!

I am searching for hooks for the cabana... cannot decide!! What do you think of these?

Hope you have super fun weekend!

How fun are the new pieces from Rebecca Atwood's Spring line?!  Each piece is hand made in New York and are so so fun.  I love the tangerine to brighten up the coming days!

Currently: Outdoor lounging

Spring is upon us, even if it does not seem like it quite yet, and everyone has come out with their latest outdoor furniture designs.  I love this time of year when it is still a little to early to spend all of your time outside but you can steal moments in the sunshine...

These are just  few of my favorites for a little pick me up outside..

1. Love this modern take out outdoors from West Elm with teak wood.

2.  When we were in Puerto Rico a while back I fell in love with the furnishings at the resort.  They had a bunch of pieces that were made of different cording materials and aluminum.  This little Huron sofa reminds me of that.  Adore it.

3. Palecek makes a great group of all weather wicker pieces.  These make me think of the great combinations we see in European gardens of sturdy wood tables and modern dining chairs.. 

4.  Need an extra seat?  This wicker stool has a swivel to it.

5.  Great little sofa from World Market.  Great price, perfect color and simple clean lines. Love.

6. Peacock chairs are so so fun.  They remind me of being a kid (we had one in our bedroom).  This piece from Anthropologie is perfection- check out the blue colorway!

spring arrangements..

 

Spring is my all time favorite time of year..  I love the fresh flowers, the green trees, the softness that is in the air.  And I truly love the abundance of  flowers and branches available for cutting.  I will freely admit that I am terrible at arranging flowers but I love love them around the house, so I make due with buying a bunch and popping them into a favorite vase or pitcher.  Casual, easy...  Here are a few of my favorite ideas floating around right now.

waiting for Spring...

 

The weeks are flying by and I cannot believe tomorrow it will be March.  I picked up a little bit of Spring the other day and they have been a gorgeous pick me up every time I enter the room!

It is stormy and raining here today and should last through the weekend which is good - maybe I will get some work done.  Wishing you a wonderful Friday filled with the possibility of Spring.

weekend wishes...

 

It is always amazing how a week with no plans fills to the brim..  maybe there were things to do and I was pretending that my schedule was open.. who knows.. Last week proved to be quite busy indeed and it bled right into the weekend.  I hope you are enjoying yours!

Here are a few of my favorite things from this week to keep you going..

These may have found their way into my cupboard but there are still so many left for you!

We added some amazing newly discovered art pieces to the shop.

Everyone seems to be looking for a getaway right about now.. I love this idea!

Work picked back up in Palm Springs this week... and a big Thank You to all of my Pinterest partners in crime I hit 25,000!

Another big Thank You goes out to Houzz for naming me in their Best Of 2014!

I really love everything this girl does...

Have a wonderful Sunday friends..
