Hello flower lovers!  I was walking past the florist the other day and these lilac sweetpeas reminded me so much of the Grazier’s wife that I had to buy them.  They are the most gorgeous colour and they smell divine! 

Lilac Sweetpeas

When dinner is ready I light the candles and limit the lights in the dining room to a corner lamp.  The stereo set continues playing soft mood music all evening.  My large dining table will be set with a plain lilac linen tablecloth and moss green linen table napkins.  The main decoration will be a small bowl of lilac sweet peas with deeper mauve candles inserted into the centre of the float bowl.  On each woman’s napkin there will be a freshly picked pink rosebud tied with a narrow lilac velvet bow

I don’t have the moss green linen or the mauve candles but the Lilac sweetpeas were a gorgeous addition to my dining room table at our latest Tasty Reads Cookbook Club meeting.  My friend Leesa brought me this equally gorgeous bouquet of Calla Lillies, Rosemary and Seaside Daisies all from her garden as a hostess gift! 😍

I very rarely buy flowers because I get a little bit sad when they start to wilt but the scented simplicity of my sweetpeas and the creative combo of Leesa’s bouquet brought me so much joy that maybe I will rethink my stance!  

I hope your week is blooming great!
