Friday Flowers

Beautiful Peonies and garden Roses that smelt heavenly will have to make up for no pictures of Hampton Court Flower Show this week.

The weather has been awful! Monday was okay, but by the time I'd got my bearings and had a good look round, not many pictures were taken. Tuesday up at 4.20am....again, and managed to take one photograph, yes one single solitary photograph! It just poured the whole time. Wednesday up at the same time, still raining, but managed to "break in" to the Floral Marquee and take some close ups of flowers.
But on Thursday the weather brightened, the sun even came out for a while.........it's quite hot when the sun shines at this time of year, I'd forgotten about that! And I actually took some pictures, but I'm too tired to tweak them so next week will be Hampton Court Flower Show.

In the meantime enjoy these fabulous overblown flowers, and have a lovely weekend

Friday Flowers

Friday flowers this week are Astrantia and Feverfew picked from the garden and popped into a little vintage galvanised watering can. The chair it is sitting on is what I bought at the Salvo Fair last Saturday.

I've been looking for a chair like this for ages, but didn't want to pay the prices they were asking at antiques fairs. This little white chippy painted chair came all the way from Belgium so I could take it home.
The Salvo Fair was amazing, so many things to buy, to want even if you didn't need them..........actually that doesn't usually stop me but the thought of the long walk back to the car carrying something heavy, did. If you were looking for original features for restoring your period home it was like an Aladdin's cave.

This weekend I have a miniatures workshop in Kent on Sunday, then on Monday it is the start of Hampton Court Flower Show, I'm lucky enough to have a press pass for 3 days, if not so lucky with the 4.30am starts! Hopefully I'll share a taste of it next week.

Have a lovely weekend

Friday Flowers

Sprays of Rambling Roses from the garden matched exactly the tea towel I bought at Chelsea Flower Show........yes I shopped as well as taking photographs!
The roses with the tea towel, some small faded pink terracotta pots and garden string all added up to my favourite things......does that remind you of a song?

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and the weather is fine, I'm going to an Architectural Salvage Fair this Saturday......exciting!!
