Apricot Roses in a Hedge

Apricot roses form a hedge along a Provencal roadway.

Rose Garland Doorway

One could publish an entire book on the doors of Provence. Here a real rose garland frames a doorway painted with a mosaic. If you click on the picture (all pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them), you will see the cats painted on the bottom of the door.

A Table Centerpiece

This very simple table setting of ours, quietly oozes Provence. The ochre yellow in the typical Provencal fabric of the table cloth is seen everywhere from the pottery to the hills. Sunflowers are a Provencal motif as well, and the roses are almost like weeds in the south of France.
