Happy Birthday Linda!

One of the sweetest bloggers I've never had the pleasure to meet in real life is celebrating her birthday day!  Linda blogs at Al A Carte. Through emails we have gotten to know each other and I just know, if we were to meet in real life we'd be the best of friends.

A few months back, Linda was clearing out some of her stash and gifted me a lovely little teapot and a set of napkin rings.
In honor of her special day I decided to create a vignette using these special gifts.
Kathe With An E - Blue & White Vignette
Using the blue in the teapot I gathered some of my favorite dishes and set them in my wine box that sits on Max's table.

I placed the teapot front and center.

Just like Linda, it is just the sweetest thing ever!

I also set four of the napkin rings upon some of my favorite flowers, Lilacs.
Due to a hard frost at the wrong time, mine didn't bloom well enough to use real, but faux works too.

I placed some more faux flowers, in yellow and white,
in blue Ball jars on each side of the wine box.

I hope you like my little homage to your very special day Linda.
Happy Birthday Dear Friend!!

    I met a friend called Stephanie from www.theenchanthingrose.blogspot.com on September via blog. And now we are best friend and even like sisters. We gifted/and sent mail each other. So I know that kind of your feeling to her. She lives in U.S. and I live Indonesia :)

  7. Ditto all the thoughtful things you had to say about Linda. She is a jewel! Though we haven't had the opportunity to meet in person, I certainly hope to someday. I'm very excited about her upcoming trip to France and the positive changes that she is embracing. I think Linda will like your birthday vignette in honor of her birthday. '-)
