a little bubbly?

















Fun finds from your local vintage shops will make your potted gardens even sweeter. We found this neat Paul Masson champagne bucket - he's the Champagne King of California thankyouverymuch - at a new shop on Girard in La Jolla called The Faded Awning. Do stop and stay a while to explore, this place is heaven for nautical fanatics and it is just packed to the brim with odds, ends and must-haves for the home. Take a moment and peek inside the shop with this post on Caitlin Creer Interiors' Blog. Even better, hop to it and go to the store!

It was love at first sight with this beautiful bucket. Love the slender shape and the girly cursive of the name.  At first, we used it to hold a giant bromeliad who now hangs from the ceiling and is loving life there. Bromeliads actually grow in trees in their natural environment, so it seems natural for him to hang around rather than sit. Back to bubbly...the purpley blues and greens are just lovely with the silver color of the bucket, and I adore the peas on a rope dangling off the edge. They almost look like champagne bubbles - tres appropriate. It's just perfect for the corner of a desk or to dress up a dining table.
