Violet Vignette

We have a small patch of grass outside of our place, and these lovely wild violets pop up each spring. This year, I found some really inexpensive bud vases at Crate and Barrel (where else!) and snatched two up. Since purple is my favorite color, I decided to spruce up the inside of our place with some violet clippings in the bud vase.

Do you like my vignette? I think it adds just the right amount of color.

I've also been secretly dying to try Creme Yvette, which I first read about in Martha Stewart Living last spring. French liquer distilled from essences of violets and berries? Sign me up! I should make it my mission to find a local place to purchase it; their website only lists California and New York City retail stores.
