Boston Flower Show Inspiration

It's nice to be able to get ourselves over-the-bridge this time of year. Our winter break is quickly coming to a close and that means all work and no play for the next six months. So for one last hurrah, nothing could be better for this girl than some Spring-immersion and Boston Flower & Garden Show inspiration.

Very shortly we'll be re-opening our Dennis Port store for the 2017 season which means the next chance we'll get "over the bridge" will probably be at some point in early 2018. The 2017 Boston Flower & Garden Show is so dazzling, we couldn't just keep these beautiful flower show images to ourselves. So take a peak at our field trip to the Boston Flower Show, and if you have the time, make a trip of your own over-the-bridge before it all gets too hectic, as Cape Cod comes back to life after its long winter's nap.

Totally Obsessed with Pergolas

This here is my dream backyard. I wish I could have boxed the whole thing up an brought it home with me. And look at that gorgeous pergola with comfy seating and gardens galore!

Fairy House

Now this was a show-stopper. This incredible Fairy House was made by Maine Stoneworks. If you look closely at the picture below, you can see our favorite fairy waving to you from inside. Look at the incredible stonework that went into creating this life-size fairy house. It's a marvel!

How'd they do that?! Please tell us, Minuteman High Horticulture Department!

I could totally get behind the idea of a fire pit and pergola backyard re-do like this one! | Boston Flower & Garden Show 2017

Great backyard design by Oakwoods Landscape Construction, Inc.

Love Oakwoods' pansy & pussy wilow planter at the 2017 Boston Flower Show

I'm planning on planting this pussy willow pansy combo soon!

I know a chef who would love this pergola covered grill area! | Boston Flower Show

Check out that grill! And I love the urn & fern!

Simple Garden Pathway at the flower show.

Raised beds keep Mr. McGregor happy!

Someone please tell me where I can get a trough like this!

Clever Outdoor Wine Storage!

I like how they created different beds on different levels in this Pergola-centric garden

Pretty Beds

And that's it! We had such a great time at the Boston Flower & Garden Show that we'll definitely see you there next year!

Hopefully Cape Cod will warm up soon so we can all get our hands dirty in the garden. And come visit our new home and garden department, Cottage Style when we open this Spring. We'll have lots of pretty things to decorate your home and your garden with.

What are you planning to do to in your garden this year?

Spring into Jadeite Kitchen Accessories

Spring. Are you feeling it yet? I feel it when I look at the new Jadeite Kitchen Accessories we just brought in to our kitchen department. There is just something about the lovely, soft jade green of these milk glass reproductions that puts a smile on my face.

Just in time for Spring: Jadeite Milk Glass Kitchen Accessories

What is Jadeite?

You probably recognize Jadeite from your grandmother's pantry, or maybe your great-grandmother's. Antique buffs will know this green milk glass as "Fire King Jadeite", a type of glass tableware made of jade-green opaque milk glass, popular during the 1950's. If you like to visit antique shops, you've no doubt come across Jadeite Glassware.

Jadeite In Stock!

Now that LaBelle's General Store is stocking Jadeite Glass & Tableware you can save time and skip searching through antique shops hoping to find a Jadeite Butter Dish or a Jadeite Sugar Dispenser.

Add a Classic 50's Diner Atmosphere to Your Kitchen

I've been using the 2 Cup Jadeite Measuring Cup daily. I keep it on my kitchen window shelf because it's not only easy to access, but it's ever so pretty. For those of you looking for a Butter Dish with a retro feel, the Jadeite Glass Butter Dish is an authentic choice. I can just picture the Jadeite Green Sugar Dispenser in a White and Red kitchen, but really, what kitchen wouldn't appeal to this adorable Jadeite Sugar Dispenser that looks like it's straight out of a retro diner.

Come see our collection today and catch that Spring green feeling!
