I’ve been inspired by my recent trip to France to make this simple French country table setting!

Lavender French Country table with burlap, dried lavender, purple goblets - Peonies and Orange Blossoms

Dried lavender from my parent’s garden is in the Le Lapin French water pitcher.

At each place setting there are two simple pieces of lavender with name card holders made from wine corks. For this setting, I put down my favorite Parisian bakery/pastry shop names to remind me of my trip!

The wine cork place name card holders were actually used at my wedding. Needless to say I used to have about 120 of them… all made by my Dad (thanks Dad!)

A look from the head of the table… the faux-lavender in the anduze pot is from one of my favorite shops in St. Helena (in the Napa valley).

I like how my Juliska purple goblets go with the lavender.

I love the simplicity of this French country feeling table with the lavender and burlap. It was so easy to set up.

What a busy week! I have been working like a dog after vacation… still haven’t completely unpacked and I’m *still* jet-lagged. But still, the trip was so totally worth it.

I’m so proud of myself for getting out this week’s weekend whimsy. Here are my favorite links for the week…

1// This Mexican chopped salad with fresh corn, jicama, avocado, and beans would be perfect for a Cinco de Mayo party…

2// Hermes came out with a new line of fabrics so you can feel très chic at home.

3// Spring allergy beauty tips for allergy sufferers like myself.

4// A look at the Obama state china service unveiled for the first time.

5// How many times you can wear certain clothing pieces until you need to wash it.

6// Amazing pictures of book stores across the world, I especially like the Shakespeare & co in Paris!

Stay tuned for next week, I have new posts coming up!!

With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, everyone is going to be thinking Mexican food. Here’s my Cinco de Mayo recipe round-up!

My favorite dish here is this Mexican Street Corn. It’s really easy to make!

These Black Bean Sweet Potato bites are very tasty and a healthier alternative to tortilla chips..

You could make these Black Bean, Potato, and Cheese Pupusas for a main course or appetizers
