le jardin s'est levé

I have a confession to make...

I am in love with Pinterest♥

The little garden shed with its climbing pink roses, lavande rows and larkspur landscape screams assez. Wouldn't you agree? The nasturtiams falling down the sides of the old wooden wheel barrow is almost too much for me to handle as I'm eager for spring to arrive.  

We have a garden shed similar to this one that Lennis built. It sits next to an extended porch. Promise, picture when spring arrives. I believe this spring I'll usine some pretty flowers around the hangar. Possibly some pink climing roses like the ones in the picture.

I've been studying and previewing different rose varieties to plant in my jardin.

This is New Dawn~ Nouvelle Aube

This one is named Heritage~ Héritage

I amour the old fashioned cabbage roses.

Both of these roses is also carry a lovely parfumé. An extra rose bonus I believe and lovely when you bring a freshly cut bouquet indoors.

Do you have a rose jardin?

I can't seem to get jardin off my mind lately. With spring just around the coin, I suppose it's a natural thought.

We added on to an existing back porche last summer and I am excited to begin fluffing it with Français.

Once again during my cuppa tea time I've been wondering around Pinterest searching for idees.
I'm envisioning ferns and roses and flowering blooms filling the space and maybe white wicker since I already have a couple of nice pieces.

I like this idee. Don't you? Love the allysum in the pots. One of my favorite little plants. The old chippy dresser is a parfait resting spot for the blooming plants. How clever to include tattered mirrors.

Ah yes, I'm yearning for fresh clean spring with an orchestra of  robins singing their sweet lullaby.

Just as I do about this time every season. Seasons calling me I believe...

While on the mention of vintage nightgowns I thought it only proper to incluez pretty nouveau nightgowns also I have several nightgowns like the one in this picture. I call them summer nightgowns. Our cold winters and my 1920 era drafty home would not allow me to wear the sleeveless gown unless I was pose on the sofa bed with piles of  édredons and blankets. Even then I'm afraid my arms would have goose bumps.
Summer time though and I take a long hot bath and glissez dans a simple cotton gown like the one above.

Do you have a collection of nightgowns or a robe de nuit such as this one?

If you've visited Fussy Frenchs' sister blog Bittersweet then you know about my passion for vintage nightgowns. This photo was taken at the Bittersweet studio. I proudly affichage the gown on a dress form at the entrance of the studio/boutique.
I prefer simple broderie over fantaisie and hues all of the same pallate. Equally fanciful Empire waist dresses excitez je.

Isn't the robe beau? Stunning I believe.

Truly I wish the empire waisted dress would make a comeback, vraiment I do.
What are some of your favorite styles?
