Well, I had Tea at the Ritz-Carlton this week! In New Orleans.
Very Nice.
And I loved the way they presented the flowers on the Tea Table.
They took a little round vase. Filled the bottom with little clear glass pebbles. The kind you find at the Craft stores in bags. Filled it with water and stuck a pretty Rose inside the Vase.
The green strip you see around the jar is a piece of border grass or something like it.
I am in search of such a vase. It was very effective on the Table.
The Courtyard in the Hotel was beautiful.
I love Courtyards and New Orleans is famous for them!
What a beautiful court yard Jeannie. That is a good idea to display a rose bloom. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI agree - New Orleans is famous for their beautiful courtyard gardens. And what a beautiful one that is! What a great experience that must have been.
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law always says we should have tea there when I'm in town and we haven't gotten around to doing it. Maybe on my next visit.
ReplyDeletei love the simple elegance of that single

easy to created and beautiful to behold.
Hi, Jeannie, I can't believe I haven't seen your blog before now. It's wonderful! My rose garden is in Ocala, FL so I think we must have a lot in common - both good and not so good. :)) I will be following it closely. I'm particularly interested in your two Maggies. I had Maggie when I first started my garden before I understood the nature of the long-caned Bourbons and took her out too soon before she had a chance to get established. I'm wondering now if I should try her again. Growing her on a trellis is not something I ever thought of, but for my small garden that might work well. I have to run out to our Rose Society meeting, but when I get back I will spend some time with your beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful - I can imagine myself sitting in that beautiful courtyard! Right before the last snow, I picked a bouquet of roses. I love the David Austin Roses - I wish I had more....Just 2, but even in my zone 4 garden they start to bloom early and are still there right before the first frost.
