A few days ago I received a special surprise in the mail
My new friend Jane sent me a lovely antique white french linen
Jane has a beautiful blog http://www.floradoora.blogspot.com/ and a wonderful etsy shop
where she sells her handmade Flora Dooras in a variety of french tickings,french linens and vintage fabrics
Her Flora Dooras even sell in a shop in France
I LOVE my Flora Doora
I love the simplicity of the antique french white linen
It is lined for waterproofing so you can put fresh cut flowers and water inside
THANK YOU so much Jane for such a beautiful Flora Doora
I can't wait to fill it with seasonal flowers
I just filled mine with some babys breath and some coffee berries
I love the bright pop of color from the coffee berries
And they are inexpensive which I like too
I added a little pop of color to my mantel vignette with just a little snip of the coffee berries
I like the simplicity
(fyi: white enamel pitchers are from IKEA) ;)
Here is what my mantel looks like right now
Simple and white with a little bit of color from the babys breath and coffee berries
I like to write the different seasons on my chalkboard .I made the chalkboard a few years ago out of a vintage framed print I found at Goodwill for a few dollars.
I just painted right over the print with the chalkboard paint ;)
Be sure to stop by Jane's lovely blog Flora Doora and check out her wonderful etsy shop!

Hi Rachel!
Beautiful whites today! I just love Jane and her sweet Flora Dooras! I have quite a few around my house and have given them as gifts too!!
Happy White Wednesday, Rachel! I won a Flora Doora last year and it is fabulous - so love it. Your mantel is really dreamy and fresh for Spring. I've never seen coffee berries...pretty.
Hope you are having a lovely week :O)

Oooh, Rachel, you lucky thing!! That bag is sooooo lovely!! And I love the idea of a waterproof lining. I just pop jars inside mine - but I do worry they'll spill!!!!
