figgy

It seems the design world is charmed by figs right now...including myself.
Here are some pretty folks I enjoyed this week...

They are so sculptural and come in luscious colors - my favorite: pale and deep greens and deep plum. Here is a swell vignette from Marie Claire Idees - a great crafting magazine from France. I melted when I turned the page and saw this - i don't usually like mauve and plum tones but this made me swoon...

and how about this clever applique tablecloth - just dreamy for an outdoor supper on the patio.

and some inspiring photos of the plants and fruit themselves from House & Garden

Ah, to be in France eating figs. This post makes me miss Provence! I was a nanny there one summer, and discovered the pleasure of fresh figs.

mmm, we'll have loads of figs in several weeks off the bushes on my property that my grandmother planted... one of my favorite times of Summer.

What great photos, I sometimes make fig tarts. Delicious.
Hope you're enjoying NYC.

Oh yum! Merci for this lovely post. I sat and ate about a dozen heavenly figs the other day, and have waxed poetic about them before, literally.
And...I'm so into applique lately. Thanks for sharing this. I'm running out to get my Marie Claire Idees!

Your blog is so beautiful and welcoming (I arrived via Design Sponge). And how was your trip to our fair city? Can't wait to see and read about all your great finds!

I, too, came via d*s, and am so happy to have discovered you. What is that chandelier thing hanging in the first Marie Claire Idees pic? Are those clay beads? Does the mag show how to make them? The whole layout is beautiful but I am so taken with that piece...any info would be so welcome!

Thanks, and I'll be reading!
