Description
July in Provence, and Madame Fabre’s cottage garden is shouting with colour. Marigolds blaze beside cornflowers, sunflowers lean over the fence to gossip with the neighbours, and bees drift lazily between them all. Visitors stop at the gate just to look, and she always invites them in for lemonade on the terrace, where the scent of warm earth and blossoms hangs in the air.
With its rounded oval shape and yellow belly, decorated in a vibrant floral design of yellow, orange and blue, this box brings that sun-drenched garden indoors. Keen gardeners will love it, as will a friend who brightens every room she enters or a mother whose favourite colour is sunshine yellow. Stand it on a sunny kitchen sill next to the rosemary, on a breakfast table in a bright morning room, or on a dressing table where it can lift the spirits first thing each day. Its cheerful palette is especially welcome in the grey months of winter, like a promise that summer will return.
