Calamondin citrus trees were introduced from China to the U.S. around 1900. Used in the United States primarily for ornamental purposes and often as a bonsai specimen, Calamondin trees are cultivated throughout southern Asia and Malaysia, India, and the Philippines for their citrus juice. Since the 1960’s, potted calamondin citrus trees have been shipped from southern Florida to other areas of North America for use as houseplants; Israel does much the same thing for the European market.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><a href="https://www.chinoiseriechic.net/2024/02/citrus-trees.html#more">CONTINUE READING »</a>Beth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-47328461921603914002024-02-25T07:00:00.001-05:002024-02-25T07:20:56.475-05:00The Blue & White Kitchen<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlbMtyYE3leleuwK30fQvXrS83NtX2VedWEaXA7vZV17AliqZMVPhL1FnCNCqZgrZhjI-i4skiWl4S1j91VCpDzhYc8Qz7Obms7WIADto1fJpfzR2qQ50ut2fkYUq6Ah8MRo0R7-Br0T2GQAQMztquf4LQN_SfwlmVfHQpfGvQEzbDbqXtjILveQXR4vJ/s980/2024-kb-palmbeach-jimdove-a-65d4cf80c4a63.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="978" data-original-width="980" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlbMtyYE3leleuwK30fQvXrS83NtX2VedWEaXA7vZV17AliqZMVPhL1FnCNCqZgrZhjI-i4skiWl4S1j91VCpDzhYc8Qz7Obms7WIADto1fJpfzR2qQ50ut2fkYUq6Ah8MRo0R7-Br0T2GQAQMztquf4LQN_SfwlmVfHQpfGvQEzbDbqXtjILveQXR4vJ/w640-h638/2024-kb-palmbeach-jimdove-a-65d4cf80c4a63.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jim Dove - Veranda</td></tr></tbody></table><br> <div><span>This blue and white very Palm Beach kitchen is the inspiration of Jim Dove Design for the just opened Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><a href="https://www.chinoiseriechic.net/2024/02/the-blue-white-kitchen.html#more">CONTINUE READING »</a>Beth Connollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-79232146699521885862024-02-24T07:00:00.015-05:002024-02-24T07:52:29.833-05:00The Pedestal "Garden Stool"<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFh3cO52jP8Q2LBP52-ZQ82YApLArUJV3_qXJx993Q6ZlpiJl_BYsJJridJkKAiW0_Vac59xWi0uLc6jHG2SO1EX2A5KzZ8YtvPzYXJ9E4Jmg382hFWTGXmbNNfUjRfh_yyWCbRPT3jcgCl6gzIogoKDKUWh12NBEssBoRIfwtbNY7x-nOxgbgJ4amLwhu/s800/GUEST_faa8a2e9-ff3f-4ec1-85fd-229c481dfbbd.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFh3cO52jP8Q2LBP52-ZQ82YApLArUJV3_qXJx993Q6ZlpiJl_BYsJJridJkKAiW0_Vac59xWi0uLc6jHG2SO1EX2A5KzZ8YtvPzYXJ9E4Jmg382hFWTGXmbNNfUjRfh_yyWCbRPT3jcgCl6gzIogoKDKUWh12NBEssBoRIfwtbNY7x-nOxgbgJ4amLwhu/w640-h640/GUEST_faa8a2e9-ff3f-4ec1-85fd-229c481dfbbd.jpeg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Studio McGee Plaster Accent Table</td></tr></tbody></table><br> <div><span></span>The longer I live in Florida, the more I love using white in my home.
