~Our Wisteria, Garden Buffet, and Simple & Sweet Fridays #165~


I wanted to share with you photos of our Wisteria this year.
The blooms last about 3 weeks,
 depending on the weather.
We have two wisterias up on our hill and
two growing next to our house.

The flowers are a very pretty violet color.
They also have the sweetest smell.
They're a great addition to your garden.
Inside the house,
 I made a little vignette with a Garden Theme.
The garden girl statue is wearing a pretty daisy headband.
 Jute and scissors displayed in glass jars.
A garden sign, branches from a flowering quince and
 an old vintage watering can
 greets everyone at the front door.
~A Simple Garden Theme~
Carly and Scott brought us some fresh breads
from San Francisco.
This country loaf was from Tartine Bakery.
They were delicious.
And some sweet treats!!
I cut some fresh alstroemerias from the garden today.
Love this time of year.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

~Inspired by Springtime & Simple and Sweet Fridays #164~

~ Lemon Beehive Cake~
I have had Bees on my mind lately.
There's so many in our garden and I wanted to 
decorate and make sweet things with honey for Spring!!
I had fun making a Spring vignette with Bees too!!
I saw this whimsical Nordic Ware Beehive Cake Pan at Williams Sonoma and had to buy it.
I found the delicious
Lemon Cake recipe online at their site too.
I love lemons and honey.
What's not to like about this recipe!
Williams Sonoma also had the cutest 
sweet sugar bees to put on the cake!
I just couldn't decide what cake plate to put it on.
Spring is Here!!
I've collected things over the years with a 
Bee theme.
So I loved putting them all together for the
vignette.
I found this banner paper at Michael's Craft Store.
I didn't even have to cut them out.
I just wrote out Spring with a chalkboard pen.
Easy Peasy!!
Fresh Sunflowers from the Farmer's Market.
I had these cute bee stamps I found at Michael's too!
~An Anthropologie Plate~
~A Bee Skep~
I made a bee candle with tissue paper.
Lemon drop candies in a honey jar fit right into the vignette theme.
 
I found this bee embroidered sheet paper at Papyrus. 
It makes a great runner.
~Bee-autiful~
A new bee stepping stone I found at Home Goods for the garden.
A bee mug from a friend.
Bee Tea Towel and Mini Spatulas
from Williams Sonoma
A little Sage Honeycomb with Brie for dessert.
~Bon Appetit~
