Rue de Lillie Antiques – The Gardens

Continuing with our visit to Rue de Lillie Antiques in Summerland…here are the patios and gardens. All of the outdoor spaces are so lovely and tranquill. I especially adore their aviaries.

I think I may ask The Man to make me one someday. Do you remember seeing Martha Stewarts aviaries from a while back? She shared them on her show and in her magazine. She had brightly colored parakeets on her porch but I think I'm more partial to doves and their sweet, soft cooing sounds.

Rue de Lillie also has beautiful pots, containers and vintage garden elements. I love their large collection of antique urns and statuary.

I hope you enjoyed my little tour and make plans to visit one day. It's such a wonderful place and their location is one of the most beautiful and quaint California beach towns.
