flower repeat flower

...our sweet peas just keep on flowering.......

we bought this little miniature wardrobe a few weeks ago and just can't decide whether to re-paint it...

what would you do?

This Weeks Review

                             

A few new vintage items are making an appearance...this fab typewriter is in full working order, perfect for that novel you have always wanted to write! 

               

The colour pops have been showcasing well this week...These cute kiddies chairs with the lush green ferns and stunning mini orchids in 1950's green glass.

                

Or this turquoise dresser with white orchids and red peppers...the fallen from our fabulous plants we had in this week...they flew out the door. The lovely people of Hungerford sure adore their veggies!

                                   

The soft delicate tones for a beloved Nan

                                   

These gladioli could not have been any redder!

                                   

Someone has developed a love affair with the vintage rocking horse...{No we don't have any more space at home for him...sorry Auggy x}

The colour clash...oh how we have fallen for you. Orange, hot pinks, and reds, with a touch of purple. 

The only thing that would make it better is a deep red dahlia with her many petals!

                                        

Green, white and blue a classic! I wonder if Kate got and giant poppy heads in her bouquets?

Lush green is always a winner to the florist.

This week we had buckets full of British grown flowers arrive for a wedding....we have battled with another week of heat by having fresh flowers each day...Martin celebrated his Birthday with a huge chocolate cake, and a fabulous day off....we have rescued too many bumble bees....and consumed quite a few yummy ice creams!!

Happy Weekend!
