You all know that I am not the gardener in the family, that skill falls to my husband. He loves our garden and all its faults, enjoying the challenge of making things grow and keeping them alive and hopefully blooming. You don’t need to have a large outdoor space to have a garden of your own, all you need are a couple of pots and a watering can. So don’t be discouraged if you live in an apartment with no outdoor space. Pots of plants can be very happy on a fire escape. So today some of my favorite things in the garden and for the garden. Happy planting.

Guests on Safari

Last week I posted about Katrine Martensen-Larsen and her Danish beach house. After receiving a lovely comment on the post from Martensen-Larsen, I headed over to her blog, where I discovered something magical. During the summer, the family’s beach house is constantly overflowing with people, and when the overflow becomes too much for the cottage to handle, Martensen-Larsen puts her guests up in this chic round tent. This year she has decorated it in an African Safari style, complete with sisal rugs, leather luggage, and tribal art and textiles. These photos sure make me want to go camping. In an extremely safari-chic way of course. Katrine, are you looking for any more guests?

Want to go on an amazing picnic with me this weekend? Let’s use this wonderful Seletti Picnic Table available through Jardin Chic. We can set up the table in some absolutely beautiful location; eat, drink, and be merry; and when we’re finished we simply fold the table right back up into this little chic gingham suitcase. Any takers? Have a wonderful weekend!
