Veggie Wedded Bliss

Well I think by now you know us well...so a photo of bundles of veg should not surprise you!

We do quirky so well. 

Add in some glorious blown english peonies in the softest blush pink.

Bombastic spray rose, which were so heavy with blooms. Hedgerow blackberries, phlox, wheat, poppy seed heads, hydrangea, scented roses, herbs, astilbe, love in a mist and you have made a Bride's dream come true!

A Farmers Paradise in vintage terracotta pots

Different sizes, shapes and flowers....

A touch of seasonal veg....

The wheat was all important, and to say our hearts stopped when we got an email from our supplier to say it didn't pass 'quality control', is a very huge understatement!! thankfully it was only one batch...the others were beautiful...with the softest purple touch, which was perfect.

We love the surprise element of the vegetables...they worked so well, and fitted in perfectly with the Farmers theme.

Just look at those beauties....Why does peony season have to be so short? 

messing about...

taking a zillion photos...we might have found one out them good enough to use......

its neither of these but we sort of liked the effects....

the recipe
one vintage jelly mould.....over blown roses.....whispy grass......trailing ivy...a few cyclamen blooms.....and lucky heather..add to a chippy chair...or timeworn sleigh....and an adorable pair of child's white boots....

we could play all day!!!......

We are back...

(well we have been since last Saturday actually)

.....but this is the shop today.....

 ..once again we have had a change around...redressed the window  and guess what???

while we where gone the seasons changed......the lovely summer flowers have faded away..petals blown to the winds....

 ....and sumptuous autumn in all its boldness is elbowing its way through the door.....the nights are drawing in...the mornings have that chill in the air.......and then we have ranunculus.....hurrah!!!

they have to be one of our favourites.......

gorgeous roses for one of our weddings...

a new range of pretty ribbons......

 and some lovely vintage cards that are just wonderful and designed and made in England and also have tags for that special gift....
