faded beauty

One of our new favourite flowers at the moment......
Musette
a pinky peachy old fashioned rose curled petals 1950s chic in a bloom
these have been a week in a hot hairdressers and still looking pretty!!!

The snow is still here but everyone is buying flowers to cheer themselves and their homes up....
Today we have white lilac, viburnum, tulips, hyacinths,anenomes and of course musette roses...
have a lovely day..

flowers,camera, action..

Just a few pictures of flowers we used yesterday.
We have a new camera and its taking a bit of mastering.....
and since the laptop fell on the floor in the post Christmas scramble its new technology
all round...
The shop has lots of gorgeous things at the moment all to brighten these cold January days....
beautiful scented narcissus from The Scilly Isles....tulips in all shades....elegant hellebore in the darkest burgundy and of course bulbs in all shapes to pot up or let us do the work for you..we have lots of vintage containers all ready to go.
If i work out how to rotate a picture on this computer I'll post some more photos tomorrow!!

the ending ....and the beginning

...the last throws of Christmas arrangements.....teacup with candle...before the watch came off Martins wrist and the bandage went on....( see our last post for gory dets...)
Amongst all the celebrations, eating and drinking and general merriment in those strange days between Christmas and New Year......

 one families world fell apart.....

and another couples life together started.....

it is true to say a florists day is never the same and we see all of life's comings and goings.....

and as a little beacon to the coming spring winter flowering jasmine picked from the garden.
